Great advice from start and decided to use them to teach my 18 year old son. He had Dave as his instructor and this guy was amazing, kept in touch with myself as a parent and was always quick to respond to messages. He was calm and professional and encouraging and extremely caring, you could see how much he wanted his students to pass. My son passed 1st time after just 5 months of learning to drive. Thank you Dave, top instructor.

I done 12 months of lessons with Tracey, what a brilliant, understanding patient women too!
She was very professional in her teaching, every bit of knowledge I have about driving and the roads etc is mainly learnt through Tracey, passed 3rd time, she was brilliant even when I did fail, she was always there to push me to try again when I lost hope, no negative vibes at all. Wouldn’t have passed without this women!
Wouldn’t recommend any other driving school apart from Fordy’s!
You guys are very lucky to have such an amazing women apart of your team x

Alana made me feel totally comfortable the whole time! i was such a nervous driver and she stayed consistent and patient the whole time. She made her schedule flexible and worked with me on my anxiety around driving i couldn’t have asked for a better instructor :)

I passed first time with Matt,with just over 20 hours worth of lessons . He was very patient and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable when I first started. Highly recommend👍

Very patient calm and clear good teaching

My instructor Rob at Fordeys driving school is absolutely brilliant. Ive had bad experience with a independent school for the last seven months and previously ive learnt more in one lesson than over that whole seven month period. You will 100% get your moneys worth with this school! Highly recommend.

My Driving Instructor, Gary, was very supportive throughout my experience and helped me a lot. He was consistent and gave me great tips!

I could not have asked for a better driving instructor! From the start, Gary Locke made me feel so comfortable and confident when learning to drive. I progressed very quickly and learnt everything I needed to prepare me to be test ready. I even passed my test in a city I’ve never driven in, which goes to show Gary’s skill and experience, teaching learners to drive, not just to pass, but to be prepared and ready to drive at a very high standard, for the rest of their life. Very grateful to my instructor and Fordys for giving me a great learning experience.
