I recently took my Driving test for Automatic at Bromley Test Center and passed in 1st attempt
I say Better Driving are... actually Best !!!
And the instructor Michelle Gregory is really helpful she helped me focus on days before test and made sure I was not over prepared and prep me well to face the test and keep my focus and calm while driving.
Thank you @Michelle Gregory and @Better Drivingread more

My kids had a great time. As it was their 1st time they can not wait till the next one in April. A very happy 12 year... old and 16 year old to be able to experience time behind the wheel and having the experience of what it will really be like was a bonus. Both the instructors we friendly and great with the kids. Thanks to Chris as well for your quick replies when making the initial enquires.read more

I started learning with Chris in October 2019 after having lessons in a manual on and off since 2016 with two separate... driving instructors from different driving schools. By the time I saw Chris I'd pretty much decided to switch to automatic, I'd lost all confidence in ever passing a test (not that I'd taken one) as driving made me feel so nervous. I'd passed my theory test in the summer of 2018 and since I work full time and have two young children I just didn't think I'd pass before my theory ran out, or ever for that matter, as driving just didn't come naturally to me. As soon as I had my first lesson with Chris I instantly felt at ease and even began to enjoy having driving lessons. Chris is a fantastic teacher and clearly very passionate about his job. I really liked his laid back way of teaching and he has a wealth of knowledge spanning a huge variety of topics, so we always had something interesting to talk about. That being said, he was mindful that I sometimes had to block him out so I could concentrate! One thing I particularly appreciated is that Chris doesn't believe in practising test routes as he would rather make sure you can drive anywhere and this makes so much more sense. Every lesson was different and I felt like this gave me a but better feel for driving in everyday conditions and has ultimately given me much more confidence as a driver. We did spend some time looking at some particularly difficult areas in test areas just to make sure that I was comfortable, but it certainly wasn't the repetitive action that I'd experienced with my previous instructor. I'm so pleased that I've now passed my test and so thankful to Chris for all his help and patience. If I could do one thing differently, it would've been to start having lessons with Chris from the beginning, instead of wasting hundreds of pounds on previous instructors! Would definitely recommend Chris and the team at Better Driver Training to anyone 😊read more

At better driving training, you get the best support and tools to pass your driving test.
I had Michelle as my... instructor and she was absolutely amazing. She helped me regain my confidence and knew exactly where I needed support. She was straight to the point on my weaknesses and tackled them with me until I was confident. She is just great at bringing out the best in you.
I will highly recommend better driving and Michelle as an instructor particularly because it was her who got me there!
Thank you Michelle.read more

My son has had Young Driver Challenge lessons 3 or 4 times a year since he was 13. He’s just passed his test with one... fault, 72 days after his 17th birthday. The young driver lessons meant he already knew how to physically drive the car once he was old enough to go out on the road and so I was confident enough with him to give him lots of practice from the start, alongside a weekly lesson.
The young driver challenge is a really great scheme.read more

So problems with my last instructor meant I needed a new one and so I was paired up with Dean Kenny for my remaining 3... weeks before my test. I didn't think I'd make it but through the excellent planning and easy explanations from Dean I found everything so simple and easy. I found that with him it was more about passion and getting you your license than it was about making money and that made the experience more comfortable apart from anything else. So again just a massive thanks to Dean for all the effort he put in with me especially considering the situationsread more

I was ready to give up before being reccomended to Dean. Wthin 2 months, I passed, and with only 4 minors!

I was recommended to Andrew by a friend who had been learning with him for a while before I asked her for the contact.... I was really pleased that he made time for my lessons and allowed me to pass really quickly and I passed first time. He was friendly, calm and taught me lots of tips, but also made learning all the rules easy and applicable. I felt I was improving each lesson, and his tips allow me now, after having passed, to feel confident that I'm able to have full control when I drive alone. Many thanks Andy! Great instructor and very recomendable!!read more
