Working shifts made learning to drive tricky but my instructor at Rated Driving was brilliant with timings. Pick ups from college in Leicester Forest East, drop offs at work, even late evening lessons when I finished at 9pm. They worked around my rota every week without complaint. Did extra lessons at weekends before my test at the local centre and passed first time thanks to their flexibility and patience.

I genuinely thought it would take me ages to pass, but I managed it in just 3 months with Rated Driving. My instructor's structured lesson plan made everything click so much quicker than I expected. The clear teaching style really helped, especially when practising on the tricky roundabouts near the M1. Passed first time at the local test centre and still can't quite believe it!

Found Rated Driving through a recommendation from another parent at sixth form. Our instructor was incredibly patient with my daughter, even during the stressful moments practicing roundabouts along the A47. Really appreciated the flexibility picking her up from college. She passed first time at the test centre in Leicester, and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
