Absolutely amazing

Absolutely amazing! My driving instructor was called Bryan and was a wonderful teacher- kind, easy to talk to and very clear when giving instructions. I had previously been with RED driving school who i had a difficult time with, so when I began driving I was quite anxious, however after a few lessons with Bryan that quickly went away as he was always calm and reassured me I would be okay. Both me and my partner passed first time with Bryan, would 100% recommend him!!

Dreadful company

Dreadful company. Terrible communication from the company, nonsensical texts that don’t make sense. They don’t return calls. Instructor was less than useless in terms of communication in the lesson and also over the phone. How this company can run and have such poor instructors and customer service is beyond me. Such a shame as the original owner was a brilliant instructor but unfortunately he passed away and it seems the company has gone down the pan. Find another company to learn to drive. Apex are awful!

Passed my driving test first time thanks to David ! Patient, caring and always made me feel confident behind the wheel. Every lesson was well-structured, enjoyable and I felt fully prepared for my test. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor. Thank you so much!

Really good driving school!

I had Gary as my instructor and recently passed my driving test in May. Right off the bat, he didn’t waste any time during lessons, I learnt how to parallel park on my first lesson. He made driving seem easy to learn while still teaching me to be safe and aware on the roads. He also took me along potential test routes so I was super comfortable when it got to the date of my test. I would highly recommend Apex driving school, especially Gary.

Gary is the best driving instructor

Had a brilliant driving instructor at APEX. Having had about 20 hours with a different school, I was a nervous wreck every time I got behind the wheel. Gary teaches you to drive confidently and not just to pass your test. The first time I got in the car with him I already felt loads better. He is very calm and reassuring and despite me making a few silly mistakes, he is always calm and ready to teach.

Big thanks to Usman

A huge thank you to Usman who helped me pass my test. I passed in a matter of a couple of months with his help and experience.
Very professional, always on time and helped me to remain calm and was very patient. Would highly recommend.

Zero minor success

Miles is the best instructor you could hope for he’s always on time if not early and he keeps his car clean and ready for you to pass your test . I passed zero minors and couldn’t have had a better instructor

Excellent Learning environment and a respectful instructor

I passed my test this morning, and i’d like to give credit to Usman. Extremely patient and respectful while also being stern . And he really helped me with learning and understanding how to drive. As well as even when i failed first time he was very uplifting. I really recommend Usman and will be suggesting his service to other people! Thank you so much.

I passed my driving test today and couldn’t be happier with the support I received from Apex Driving School. A huge thank you to Bisma, who was an excellent instructor throughout my learning journey. She was patient, professional, and always made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her clear guidance and encouragement helped me improve with every lesson and feel fully prepared for my test. I highly recommend Bisma and Apex Driving School to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable driving instructor. Thank you again for helping me pass!

Simon was absolutely incredible

Simon was absolutely incredible! He stepped in a month before my son’s test date and he literally got him ready and he passed. Despite having lessons before starting with Simon, I can honestly say I don’t think this would have happened if it wasn’t for Simon’s great approach - he gave my son confidence, patience, lessons that he really enjoyed and the driving skills to pass! Even when he drove him home after the test, his genuine happiness for James was so lovely! Thank you Simon - James still says he couldn't have done it without you!

Usman was a great instructor

Usman was a great instructor, he was very helpful and patient, teaching me everything I needed to know so I was able to pass on my first attempt! Prices for Apex are also very reasonable. I highly recommend this company and Usman as an instructor.

First-time pass

I had a very positive experience with this driving school. This is thanks to my instructor Simon, who was very good at building my confidence, refining my skills and all-round turning me into a good driver. He is a fantastic tutor and is very skilled at teaching while keeping it relaxed. Thanks to Simon, I was able to pass my driving test first time. Thank you!
