Really great instructor

I had a great instructor. Gary was always reassuring, prompt and provided great feedback. He was really flexible to my difficult timetable and always provided enough notice when a lesson had to be moved. I'm really thankful that he was my instructor

I had done lessons before with a previous instructor from a different school where I felt I wasnt getting anywhere, within my first lesson with Gary I was able to get not only more confident in my own abilities as a driver but I had become more capable within that time than 3/4 hours with a different instructor. He assessed my ability well.

The facilities the school provides - the app made it really easy to see my progress, provide feedback and goals for my next lesson, know when my next lesson was and plan with my instructor.

It was easy to get in touch with the school to arrange initial lessons.

Incredible Learning to Drive Experience

I began learning to drive with Fordy's about 2 months ago. I had Ammar as an instructor and I cannot emphasise enough how great of a teacher he was. He adapted his teaching style to match the best way I learned, was incredibly friendly throughout the entire process and I genuinnely looked forward to my lessons with him. I have just passed my test with zero minors and it was a breeze!

Great driving instructor / therapy/gossip session

Gary always pushed me even when I found it really hard and scary . Also believed in me especially as I find it really hard to concentrate and he came up with ways to make me remember everything and made me feel calm. With my previous instructors I had to always prepare myself to try act ‘Normal’ but with Gary you don’t need too act you can just be yourself .

I passed my driving test first time thanks to my instructor Alanna. I switched from a different company to Fordys where I was a very nervous driver. From the first lesson with Alanna, she was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. She explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence step by step, which made a huge difference to my driving.

Lessons were always well-structured and relaxed, and I never felt rushed or pressured. Any mistakes were explained calmly, and I was given tips that really helped me improve.

After roughly 6 months of lessons, I felt fully prepared going into my test, and passing first time is a credit to Alanna’s excellent teaching. I would highly recommend Alanna to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable driving instructor. Thank you again for all your help!
