I wanted to leave a personal review…
I wanted to leave a personal review regarding Qualdrive and in particular Jack Jones. Jack has been absolutely fantastic as my sons driving instructor! So supportive and knowledgeable and always put my son at ease. My son has not long walked in the door grinning from ear to ear having just passed his test. Thanks again Jack- I shall definitely be recommending you to anyone who is in need of an instructor 😊

Gary was kind enough to take me on right at the end of my own private tuition, and managed to give me the last push I needed to pass my test.
He's a great instructor and a great set up and I felt completely relaxed and confident with my abilities being taught by him.
Thanks Gary :)

Highly Recommended!!
Gary from QualDrive was an amazing instructor! His dedication, patience, and genuine care went beyond expectations.
With my test just a month away, he patiently guided me through every manoeuvre until I felt confident. His unwavering commitment ensured I passed with flying colours! Gary’s expertise, encouragement, and support were invaluable. When other instructors turned me away due to the short notice of my test, Gary was there to step in and help me obtain my license. QualDrive and Gary are the reasons I’m now a licensed driver – highly recommend them!

An Amazing Pass Plus Experience
Having passed my driving exam on the first attempt thanks to Gary’s expert instruction, I knew that QualDrive is the perfect choice to brush up on my driving and complete the Pass Plus course after a long time without driving.
Gary’s teaching style has been incredible, and he was able to quickly (yet patiently) rebuild my confidence on the roads and guide me in driving on motorways in a calm and encouraging manner. The teaching aids (use of an iPad, booklets etc.) were also extremely helpful.
I could not recommend QualDrive more highly to anyone!

QualDrive is a great company
QualDrive is a great company with new cars, great instructors and easy processes. I had an excellent experience with every moment from the payment and scheduling lessons in Total Drive application to non-stress driving lessons with some iPad explanations. I saw a personal involvement and care from until the pass of my test. Really happy to choose that school and even drive there 1 hour from different town.

Had a great experience with qualdrive…
Had a great experience with qualdrive and enjoyed learning how to drive the whole way through. Had a good laugh and my instructor was very friendly. On my test day minutes before my test we found that we had a nail in the tyre and was sorted rapid. Car was a smooth ride and lead me to pass first time in less than 3 months of starting. Highly recommend!

Excellent!
I started with QualDrive and successfully got my license through them! Gary was supportive all the way through my experience through the good and tough times. I can honestly say that driving with Gary changed my confidence in a way I didn’t think possible and has made me into the qualified driver I am today! I couldn’t recommend this company any more.

PASSED FIRST TIME!
Absolutely amazing experience!!
Genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better, more considerate instructor in Gary.
Would give 6* if I could.
Kind and considerate, and patient in working through any issues I had. The lessons were thorough and well thought through, and I got driving almost straight away. We did all driving on test routes so I was totally familiar by the time the test came around.
I travelled a long way to get to these lessons, and Gary was always mega considerate in accommodating me and my awkward time-table.
Also worth mentioning that the car was brand spanking new, clean and maintained perfectly.
Also important to note that Gary and Jack can work as a pair – so I had a practice test with Jack (who is an instructor at QualDrive and also fantastic). This meant I was able to pick-up on other minor mistakes that came when I felt the pressure of test driving, and this definitely contributed to my success first time round.
These guys are great. If you want to learn to drive, do use them!!
I passed first time with 4 minors, and this would’ve been impossible without Gary’s tuition, so thank you!

Qualdrive was a great choice for me as the quality of training was excellent and lessons were well planned. Personally I had a great bond with my instructor which I think is the main thing when looking to learn to drive as this put me in the perfect position learn, compared to having an instructor you don’t mix well with.
