I contacted New Driver about a week ago. After receiving my details they got back to me in an hour…read more All signs were looking up, I got messaged by a guy called Steve who said he would ring me at 3 o clock that same day to arrange a lesson. Come 3 o clock, no Steve. 4 o clock goes by, no Steve. So, it's getting on for 5 and I start work at 5 so I message Steve to tell him that if he had planned on calling then he wouldn't get through as I would be at work - could he reschedual for the next day? The message I got back was "I can call you at 6", to which I explained a further 2 times that I would be at work so that wouldn't happen. He soon apologised and agreed to try again the next day at 3 o clock. Come the next day, 3 goes by, 4 goes by and again we are getting onto 5. This time I was quite annoyed because it was the second time he had done this. So, I messaged him to tell him in no uncertain terms that I was disappointed and that I would go and try to find someone else as if he couldn't even manage to call at the times HE APPOINTED then I didn't have much hope for the lessons being arranged. He messaged me back, and this is what he said: "Hi there thanks for the rude message, do apologise but my 3 year old was rushed to hospital, sorry this was an inconvience to you, but my 3 year old is more important and sending a text is the last thing on my mind. You have a good day and good luck with your tuition with whoever you find." So, if he is lying (which I strongly suspect he was) that's disgusting. You shouldn't joke about things like that. He's flaky, I believe he just went for some excuse that would make me feel guilty. Honestly I had reservations when I first saw the wesite; it's dated, looks fake. The only thing I was attracted to from this site was the "first lesson for 2 hours but only £10." Like, I'm so glad I didn't give these people (or this person) money and I am uncomfortable with the fact that they have my number now.

It has been my pleasure to have trained with New Driver. I had been training with a national…read morecompany! But realised that the training for my part three PDI test was very inadequate falling down in several areas. Having had a second part 3 test cancelled by the D S A , was a blessing in disguise as now I realise that if I had gone for the test then I would have definitely failed. Training with New Driver has certainly turned out to be the best thing that could have happened as regard to my career as I passed my part 3 test at the next attempt! New Driver are a very knowledgeable company who certainly know their subject! I have been an Instructor for many years in a very different field [Shotokan Karate] but I recognise a good instruction when I see it. I am looking to take my career as far as possible.
