Thank you Fordys!!

Could not recommend this driving school enough, and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Despite me being an anxious driver, Stewart was incredibly patient with me and took me from a complete beginner to passing my test!! Thank you Fordys!!! :D

claire

i couldn’t recommend claire enough she is the most amazing driving instructor ever from the first ever time getting into her car to the last she made me feel nothing but comfortable and always made sure i believed in myself today i passed my test and it’s all down to her the amount of hard work she poured into me to make sure i get this pass will never go unnoticed she is absolutely amazing she doesn’t just teach you how to drive she lets you really learn how to drive she asks what your struggling with and what you need help with not just what she thinks you need to improve on every single lesson she would always tell me what i done well not only what needed to be improved she always encouraged me and never let me give up even though this hasn’t been the easiest honestly she is so amazing and i would and will be recommending her to anyone that is starting their lessons

Great instructor

I had a great experience learning to drive with Gary. He’s very calm, patient and helps explain things in a clear, straightforward way. He helped me pass first time with just 1 minor fault. Would definitely recommend 🙌

Fordys is an excellent driving school!

Fordys is an excellent driving school with efficient communication right from the start. I had Amy as a driving instructor and she is the most amazing, patient, kind and outgoing person ever and her lessons are so enjoyable. Her teaching techniques are extremely efficient as I never felt rushed into anything because she naturally guides you into your own pace and gives you percise, helpful feedback. Overall she is a wonderful instructor! I would 100% recommend learning with Fordys and book lessons with Amy if you are doing automatic. Passed first time! Thank you so much :)

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than “Amar Siddique”. He is incredibly patient, kind, supportive, and professional. He explains everything clearly and never makes me feel nervous or uncomfortable when I make mistakes. He explains and corrects mistakes there and then, which really helps you understand what went wrong and improve straight away.

I have enjoyed every lesson, and I always felt that I was learning something new. I’m genuinely grateful for all his patience, support, and hard work. I would highly recommend him (Amar Siddique) to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor. Thank you so much for everything! 🚗

Fordys driving school instructor training

I can’t recommend Fordys driving school enough if you’re looking to become a driving instructor. I passed my theory, part 2 and part 3 all first time thanks to amazing training and support received. You receive weekly training and more if you ask, train with real students and get that all important knowledge and skills needed to succeed. I can’t recommend Jack and Alan enough as they helped me every step of the way to get me through all my modules and not only that but the team of other instructors who are all so welcoming and happy to help with any enquiry’s. If your looking to become a driving instructor look no further, this is the best training you will get with constant feedback and support. Thankyou for giving me the opportunity for a new career. 10/10.

Gary has been the best instructor I could have hoped for. I was nervous going into learning to drive because my autism makes it hard to meet people and socialise, but Gary was so easy to talk to and very thoughtful. He worked around my anxiety and was so supportive whenever I needed a break. I passed my test first time today, which is down in huge part to Gary’s advice and the way he relayed information. He also really understands that not all people learn in the same way, and is always ready to approach things at slightly different angles to make sure you get it. I would really recommend Gary, especially to anyone whose feeling nervous about this step as he made me feel heard and safe as well as transmitting not just the skills to pass, but the skills to help my grow into a confident and safe driver in the years to come. Thank you so much Gary for everything!

I passed my driving test yesterday

I passed my driving test yesterday. My driving instructor was Rob and he was beyond amazing. He was so helpful, patient, and a great laugh. If youre worried about having an instructor who doesnt make an effort, you wont have that issue here. I couldnt thank Rob and the Fordys driving school enough.
