I did my test 2 times with other driving instructors and unfortunately I failed. I came to A1 driving academy and I passed with this company first time, with only 5 faults. Thank you to my main man zaf who helped me achieve this today Honestly, Honestly highly recommend A1 driving academy dont waste you time with other schools. Best driving school in the Midlands.

A1 Driving school has been amazing. Hamza was an excellent instructor and has helped me pass my driving test in my first attempt. He was a very friendly and patient instructor who didn't show any frustration when I made any mistakes. Hamza was clear in explaining everything to me and he also reassured whether I understood. I would highly recommend Hamza and A1 Driving school. :)

Went to a few driving schools and there’s no doubt A1 driving academy is hands down the best on the market. They’ve got the best instructors around and are incredibly helpful. Thank you to my instructor Manny the A1 team.

Passed my test first time with Haji with only 2 minors after 20 hours of lessons! I'm over the moon, thanks A1!

Excellent driving school. I was instructed by Marlon who is a well experienced instructor and is informative during teaching. I have found his lessons very professional yet calming due to his approachable and confident personality. I highly recommend this driving school and him as an instructor!

I passed today and am so grateful to my instructor Hafiz Tanzeel. He is really hard working and has put a lot of effort towards my success. He was very co-operative in arranging lessons for me as I have a very busy routine. He uses this excellent systematic approach for lessons starting at basics and moving to complex roundabouts and test routes. I always felt very comfortable in lessons as my instructor was very humble and never made me feel down while learning. I would highly recommend him as an instructor. I felt at ease and confident while driving and knew what to expect in my test and was prepared well for it.

Mr Akhtar and Mr Tanzeel are very professional driving instructors. This journey wouldn't be possible without their effort and patience. Best driving teachers in town. Highly recommended. 10/10 in punctuality, communication and professionalism.

Just wanted to say a massiveeee thank you to lovely Amanda, she was the best driving instructor ever, she is a lovely, down to earth and friendly person who made me feel so comfortable in the car. After bad experience with my ex instructor it pulled my confidence all the way down nd when i started with amanda the first day i met her i knew that she is brilliant, Amanda brought my confidence all the way up that i was not scared to drive at all she did not once grab my steering wheel or reach for the pedals she allowed me to drive without making me feel like i am a bad driver, as my ex instructor who did grab my steering wheel all the time and also reached for the pedals put me off from driving at all. But once again thank you Amanda soo muchh due to u i passed my practical test first time. I would defo recommend Amanda as your driving instructor and also the A1 company to help you pass first time xx

I passed my test with 0 faults with Amanda. She is a wicked instructor down to earth and very friendly. She will go out of her way to provide top quality lessons. I would recommend Amanda to everyone. Thanks Amanda for everything you have done.

I nearly gave up until I was given Amanda. What a difference learning to drive can become if you have the right instructor. I was petrified of learning to drive because my old instructor would shout and freak out if I made a mistake. I was put off with driving because I found it too stressful. Until Amanda. She is amazing! The most calmest person I've ever met. I freaked out on roundabouts but with Amanda she took me back to basics. I could tell she knew I hadn't been taught properly but she didn't care. She promised me by the end of the lesson I would feel better about roundabouts and I did! We started on smaller ones and worked our way up. Even when I started to freak she never got frustrated. She just calmly reassured me I was doing everything right. If I stalled at the roundabout she just said stay calm, get yourself set up again and away I went. The hours she spent with me keeping me calm is priceless. I just wish I had met her sooner. Every lesson she had a plan and by the end I felt like I had achieved more and more. She has been incredible from start to finish. Even on the morning of my test she kept me so calm. I passed first time with only 1 minor fault. Im forever grateful for Amanda coming into my life. I will always remember the way she made me feel. She even cares after you pass your test. I've messaged her loads for advice and she still responds to me. Anyone looking for a female instructor in Derby ask for Amanda. She won't let you down. Thank you thank you. I will miss my lessons.
