My grandson came to one of your sessions last year at the bath and west showground and it was absolutely awful, there was no communication between any of the instructors, the instructor was rude to grandson and by the end of it, he left and said he never wanted to come back

I like ingolston better
My son enjoyed the ingleston one better than the Falkirk becouse of the racing track in ingleston..
Parents wouldn't you want you child to have smile on there face then go to ingleston if you want your child to come out of there car and say I liked it but would have probably proffered the one in ingleston parents thinck of that . That will make your answer

Hi Conor,
Thank you for your feedback.
The venue at Ingliston is a Supersite and recommended for more experienced participants.
The Falkirk venue is a smaller site, but participants are still able to complete a number of items contained within the Drive Diary.
Many thanks,
Charlotte

Such a wonderful present and investment
Great set up and tuition for a young boy/girl to benefit from. The instructor was really outstanding: personal, motivational, professional, encouraging and a real inspiration for my son. We'd highly recommend this opportunity for your son or daughter.

Our son loved it
Our son loved it, first time behind the wheel of a car. It has given him confidence to go forward at the age of 10. The only problem is he know wants to drive our own car. LOL

The young driver experience - highly recommend Malvern
The young driver experience is a fantastic way for under 17’s to gain confidence driving before starting on the main roads. It also gives reassurance to parents that their youngsters understand the basic principles before they start on the main roads.
My daughter is autistic so this experience has been a great way to test and develop her capabilities in a safe and low demand environment. The driving instructor she has at Malvern showground is extremely understanding and encouraging which has made this an enjoyable, confidence building experience for my daughter and myself. Definitely recommend !!
