My driving licence arrived through the post yesterday A full pink licence, not the green one I had for nearly 2 years!! I had been learning to drive for nearly 18 months and my lessons were really irregular due to my busy lifestyle. I could see it dragging on for a long time and once I found out I was pregnant I decided that once and for all I needed to pass. I was very dubious of intensive driving courses, seeing many horror stories on the web but they seemed my only hope After hours of searching I decided on Academy driving school. It had fab reviews, was based in a nice quiet town and was an environment in which I could 100% focus on driving. My instructor was the absolutely lovely Pete and I couldn't have asked for a nicer guy to spend an intense 25 hours with. He was endlessly patient and explained everything in really simple clear terms using lots of examples to solidify the message. After some horrendous mock tests with Pete and another with Simon as you may have guessed I passed, first time!! But, even if I hadn't passed I would highly recommend this course as I learned so much and really polished up my driving to the extent that just a few days after I passed I drove 150 miles on motorways and country roads. I would recommend this course to those who had already driven a bit as I think when you learn the basics having lots of time for things to sink in is important. But once you can control a car intensive driving can polish you up for your test. Thank you Pete and I promise I will drive a little bit faster :) read more

I couldn't have been better prepared for my test - and passed first time - thanks to Pete and his team. Although I was nervous at first - and at 34 not sure how quickly I would learn and how coordinated I could be - Pete made the lessons easy and explained the techniques and skills clearly and patiently. Everything was thoroughly planned and prepared and driving quickly became much more enjoyable than I had expected. I would thoroughly recommend the intensive course and achieved in a week something that had taken me more than ten years to get around to. Thank you! read more

I learnt to drive with Mark Large on an 18 hour intensive course in King's Lynn, and found him friendly patient and honest. I found the whole experience very rewarding, especially as I passed my test at the end of it! I would recommend Academy to anyone wanting to learn to drive and its very competitive pricing means it won't cost you over the odds. I can't comment on the accomodation available as I am a resident of King's Lynn read more
