1st Time School of Motoring  Reviews 

I passed my driving test today and couldn’t be happier! Huge thanks to Tony, who was a fantastic instructor from start to finish. From not even knowing how to move a car, he was patient, and always encouraged me to feel confident behind the wheel. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him!

I passed my test today, and I couldn't have done it without Tony's guidance and encouragement. He has been patient and supportive, and explains things clearly and corrects my mistakes to ensure that I drive safely. As someone who has never driven before, I have learnt all the necessary skills quickly within the first few lessons, and from there it was routine practice. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with 1st Time school and Tony, and I would definitely recommend!

I passed today and that is all due to Tony! He is such a fantastic instructor and helped me so much with conquering my nerves and understand the road. I found learning driving hard but Tony completely shifted it for me. Thank you so much - fully recommend this school and try and get Tony to teach if you can!

What made my experience great. His name starts with an F and ends in an O. Franco is by far the best instructor in the world. If I am lying I am flying. From when I started lessons with him, he made feel comfortable and he’s a got a great heart. He really cares for the pupil and him and I built up a very good relationship. Passing today was really a bittersweet feeling because yes I completed my goal of driving, but it also means that my journey with Franco has come to an end. Again if you need an instructor GO TO FRANCO. I pray that he lives a long life because I want my kids and their kids to have him as an instructor. I’ve had a wonderful time with 1st driving school and I’ll definitely recommend to any and everyone. Once again thank you Franco I wish you nothing but the best with teaching and in life.

Passed first time with two minors after about 14 lessons. All thanks to Roddy who taught me everything I needed to know and was always willing to let me progress when needed. Lessons were so smooth and he always let me know how I could correct my mistakes for the following lesson. Brilliant experience, would highly recommend!

Huge thank you to Tony for being such a calm, patient, and supportive instructor. His clear explanations and constructive feedback helped me to gain confidence behind the wheel even as someone nervous with no prior driving experience. Tony is a very knowledgeable instructor who prepares you to be a safe and well-equipped driver far beyond test day. I could not have passed my test at Bromley today without his guidance and warm encouragement since the very first lesson. I wholeheartedly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a friendly, professional instructor. Thank you!

Roddy was a good instructor the best instructor I’ve ever had done 10hours and passed at Bromley centre.

Very good at teaching and explaining things to you to ensure you understand what you need to do

Today, I passed my practical driving test!! 😎😎😊
Yes i made it happen this time. 😎
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Instructor Saleh Ahmed. Having always struggled with nerves when it came to driving, Saleh R has greatly helped me improve both my ability and confidence.
He is an incredibly skilled, patient, and amazing driving instructor. I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Tony was a great instructor! Made learning to drive enjoyable and helped me pass first time! He was very knowledgeable and was very patient through out the whole process. Would 100% recommend him as an instructor for anyone!! Thank you Tony!!

Had a great experience with instructor Mustapha. Taught me all the skills needed and was patient and kind even with some fumbling in the beginning from me. My exam was outside of working hours for him and he still arrived on time for me to use his car with no complaints. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn driving!

Mustapha is a great guy and an excellent instructor. I took years to start learning for fear of bad experiences and expense — Mustapha immediately put all that to rest. He was always flexible, responsive and kind with his lessons and approach. He gave me confidence where I needed it, and kept things simple when I over-complicated. He taught me what I needed for the test like a pro, and how to be a good driver in the future alongside.

I feel confident and safe driving solo now, thanks to him. I would recommend his lessons to anyone! I passed first time in Bromley in Feb this year.

Great instructor Nawida.very helpful .so easy to learn from her .she make lernears understand patientelly.

Great instructor, passed first time with only about 10 hours of learning, very detail explanation in terms of what to do. Would highly recommend.

The instructor is knowledgeable, patient, friendly and helpful. Without his expertise, it would have been very difficult to have a first time pass.

Garry has been an excellent instructor thus far. Very patient and offers clear guidance and advice. Really made me feel at ease and has helped me to pick things up quite quickly. Definitely recommend

Navida is my driving instructor. She is really nice and explains how to drive really well. She shows up on time and is very patient.

Bought and paid upfront for 10 lessons for my son's 21st Birthday in July 2024. Since then we sat on a waiting list for ages - no problem. He had two lessons booked then asked to take one weeks break whilst he did a whole week induction for his first job since graduating last year. He tried to rebook this was in December 2024 and could not contact the instructor. I called the company and basically told he was away until January 2025. Since then my son has tried to book eventually getting a response on 21st Feb 2025 and has now been standing waiting for over half an hour and instructor has not shown up. Tried to call telephone is on voicemail. I feel like I should have my money back or at least my son should be able to have the 10 lessons reinstated with a proper instructor.

I’m so grateful to my instructor, Roddy, for his patience and support throughout my lessons, which made all the difference in helping me pass my test first time. Every lesson was well-structured and tailored to my needs, making me feel confident and prepared.

P.S Roddy loves to joke, and wait till you find out about 'BANG BANG' – you’ll never get bored in his lessons! Thank you, Roddy!

My instructor was Navida, she was such a good and patient teacher, explained everything in a lot of detail as I was a first driver and she is also a lovely person!
