1st Driving School Reviews 

I’ve just passed my driving test with 1st Driving school and couldn’t recommend Rifhat (the driving instructor I had) any more. He’s a fantastic teacher. Very calm and patient. Not only is he great at his job but he’s also a lovely, down to earth guy.
I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family looking for driving instructors in Nottingham!

The instructor Riff was really clear and calm when driving, gave constructive criticism to make me a better driver. Recommend to anyone that wants to become a confident and safe driver.

Dan Evans taught my son to drive. While I cannot comment on his ability to teach I can say how very accomodating he was when it came to arranging lessons on a Saturday after my son had gone to Uni so he could continue with the same teacher until his test.
The whole experience has been elongated due to Covid and we would like to thank Dan helping Sam through it.

Really good driving school. Enjoyed learning with Dan. He was really patient and supportive. Thank you!! Passed with just one minor

I had a very positive experience in my test and very happy I passed my first time. This is thanks to Libby my instructor who has been patient in helping work towards passing for the past 6 months. She is lovely to talk to and is quick to point out any faults so that one can learn from their mistakes and not make them again. I highly recommend the school and should you be lucky enough to be matched with Libby as an instructor, you should be thankful!

Adiel is a fantastic instructor, His teaching allowed me to quickly gain confidence behind the wheel and tackle driving in a busy city. He has a great sense of humor and every lesson I had with him was always a positive experience even when my driving wasn't the best. He has great knowledge of the highway code and how to drive correctly and can help you understand the problems in your driving in simple ways. I was very nervous initially and he put any and every worry I had to rest almost immediately. I passed on my second time around and was worried about getting back behind the wheel before my second test, but his patience and experience allowed me to pass with flying colours second time around. I would highly recommend Adiel as an instructor for any one who wants to learn how to drive and have fun at the same time. He is a top bloke.

My driving instructor, Rif, helped me to pass my test first time! He was always punctual, honest and informative in his lessons and about the test process. He was constructive in his feedback and was reliable when booking. Would definitely recommend.

Rafhat was an excellent instructor, passed with 1 minor within 3 months and with no other driving time then the lessons I had with him.

From the first day to the last lesson there was a relaxed calm environment within the vehicle. Evreything explained was cohesive and brevity. With some tips that as a refresher course and having not driven for a while I didn't know. Which demonstrated the current knowledge and experience of my instructor. Thank you 1st Driving school for providing high level of instructors, and thank you Raf for being am exceptional instructor who I would highly recommend to anyone starting or looking for refresher courses.

Stuart helped me so much as I wasn’t feeling as confident after having a not so great start with a previous driving instructor.
Stuart was/is patient, friendly, professional, supportive and amazing throughout my whole driving journey which was even longer due to covid. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to start learning to drive as he is a great instructor and I appreciate all the help and advice he has given me.

I passed my test first time and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Stuart and 1st driving school

Usman helped me so much! Highly recommend

I took two driving tests in a different area of the country several years ago - Adiel has really helped me get my confidence back with driving and I passed on my first attempt with him! Thanks so much

Adiel has been amazing! I was really anxious when I had my first lesson due to previous bad experiences with driving lessons. However I felt secure and relaxed almost straight away. The objective of each lesson was explained at the beginning with goals being accomplished every time! Adiel was always on time and great every lesson! I passed my test first time with ease!

Really recommend teacher Nadeem. I pass at my second time at this school. Much better than the first school I tried.

Amazing driving school, my instructor adiel was helpful and gave me the confidence I needed to pass!

Adiel Khan taught me the skills needed, not only to pass my test, but also to be a confident, competent and above all, safe driver wherever I go, even in unfamiliar areas.

I would 100% recommend Adiel to any new drivers

Thank you to Adiel and to 1st driving, for the experience

I passed my test at first attempt. Usman is the instructor who learn me to pass. He is a very professional, calm and sportive. He gave a big support to detect all mistake and learn to clear those mistakes properly. Highly recommended him to who looking for driving lesson.

Kev has been an excellent teacher from start to finish! He instructs in a very calm manner and will never patronise you for making mistakes. I felt completely comfortable, safe and confident in his car. Kev also prioritises his pupils and I appreciate that he fit me when he was very busy. I was able to pass first time even with long driving breaks due to Covid - Thank you so much Kev!! The positive reviews on his page speak for themselves

Adiel was a great instructor who put me at such ease on our lessons and explained everything really well! He gave me the confidence I needed to pass first time and I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

Usman was a brilliant instructor, very patient and friendly.
I would recommend!
