| Review: | Select driving school is the best driving school i came across whilst learning to drive. I had previously tried other intensive courses around the country and failed the test but select were very helpful and patient and under their tuition and guidance i then passed after just a few weeks. :-)
Phil (my instructor) was very professional and understanding and i felt comfortable during lessons even at first when i was slightly nervous of driving. Select is well worth the money as they do give 110 percent at all times to help you pass - I would definately recommend them!

| Review: | After taking lessons about 10 years ago I had given up when I moved to London. I decided to take up lessons again and chose Select as I wanted to learn in a good sized new car (a very nice Ford Focus) but wanted an independent driving school rather than a larger organisation.
I was apprehensive about learning in around London but from the outset I was very much at ease with the instructor, Phil, who taught everything in a calm, encouraging manner. I was able to learn at my own pace with no pressure - at the same time I made significant progress every lesson and built confidence quickly.
Although my free time was limited I was usually able to get convenient lessons at weekends and evenings. If Phil was ever unavailable I had lessons with Bruce who was also a great instructor.
After a few months of weekly lessons I passed first time and am now happily driving every day. There are cheaper schools around but in terms of service, flexibility and individual attention I would definitely recommend Select. |

| Review: | I passed my driving test at the end of March of this year and can only give my highest recommendation for Select Driving School. I'd learnt to drive when I was 17 but could not get on with my instructor and ended up stopping. I picked it up again at 23 and was so happy to find an instructor that made me feel comfortable and confident. My lessons were well structured and allowed me to progress at my own rate. My instructor was extremely professional in his attitude and he made it very easy to understand things that I had previously found difficult - maneuvres etc. He was patient and very friendly and easy going. He was very flexible with hours and always managed to fit me in when I needed a lesson - despite the fact that I couldn't do daytimes or weekends.
I would happily recommend Select Driving School to others (and I indeed already have!), especially those like me who were nervous and lacking in confidence - they really helped me to feel like i could do it and I passed on my second test. |

| Review: | I scowered many sources for a professional, experienced, intesive course and i found it in Select Driving School.
My experience was professional, friendly, extremely thorough and above all fun!!!
i rang up with enquiries and every question and need was answered and met without hesitaion.
The day i asked for my practical test was arranged for me but i had to cancel and another one was arranged for me straight away within 2 days of the previous.
i chose the premium course as a novice with only a few hours of previous driving experience, the course consisted of 4 hours over 10 days, which, in my opinion, was absolutly ideal... not too much yet just enough.
i passed first time and couldn't be happier!!!
You may find some driving schools slightly cheaper but would be pushed to find any better! Worth every penny!
Thankyou Select!!! |

| Review: | Summer was approaching quickly and i needed a car license quickly before i would return to my home country. When i contacted select driving school they were very friendly and suggested which of their courses i should select in order to get me to the correct level to pass the test. I ended up taking the 8 day deleuxe course which i initially thought was expensive, however the quality of teaching as well as the experience made it well worthwhile. After all that is why i chose select driving school; being able to obtain my car drivers license 9 days after the first time i sat and drove in a car, which is what happened, is very astonishing and should portray the professionalism of select driving school, especially my instructor. To sum up the experience, the 4 hour daily lessons seemed to fly by because my instructor was very knowledgeable about cars on almost every level that we would have interesting conversations all the time while driving. My Instructor was also very patient with me, especially in the beginning where i had no clue how to drive a car, which was very helpful because nothing is worse than a nervous driver driver with a nervous instructor. Towards the very end of my course my Instructor would carefully listen to the few things i was not confident about while driving, so he consequently prioritized to my needs until i was fully confident with whatever i was apprehensive about (hill starts) The car itself was a fiat, it was very small but very practical. Most people want to learn in a nice car like a BMW which is larger, but i promise you, learning and taking your test in a small fiat will definitely increase you chances of passing the driving test as it is incredible easy to maneuver. All in all i was very pleased with select driving school, especially because i didnt take several weeks to obtain a drivers license, which is usually the case with most people. Also, most of my friends who learned to drive with other driving schools failed their driving test multiple times, wereas my friends and I who learned at select driving passed the first time! Very impressed, very pleased, I would definitely recommend select driving school to everyone! |

| Review: | After learning with a local female instructor, i was ready to give up! Not only could I not even do the basics after over 50 lessons but I had picked up bad habits that were hard to shake off. It seemed I had regressed rather than progessed in my time learning to drive! After suffering 50 lessons of continuous shouting and relentless scrutuny,my nerves were causing major problems in all areas of driving, and my confidence was crushed!
Then cam Phil! Phil was my instructor from select driving school. At first I was a little hesitant about the seemingly high price per lesson.(However this was because I was used to paying a mere 14.50 with my previous instructor who was dramatically far from competent!)
My first lesson with Phil was a breath of fresh air. I had worked myself up and expected to get into my usual panicked, frenzied mess I was used to becomming while at the wheel! However we sat and discussed methods to ease my nerves and Phils patience and mannor made a huge difference in itself. The lessons were always to the highest level of proffesionalism whilst remarkably still comfortable and relaxed. I was never once shouted at throughout my entire course with select-(which was worlds apart from my previous instructor!) My confidence began to grow with each lesson and my nerves began to become a thing of the past. I have had experience with more than one select driving instructor. Mainly Phil, but on ocassions were Phil had a holiday e.t.c I had my lessons covered by a man named Bruce. Bruce was equally as helpfull, calming, polite and proffesional. This was great for me as I never had to miss a lesson due to the instructors commitments. The lessons were arranged around my somwhat busy schedule and on the odd ocassion were I had to cancel all was understood and and lesson was rebooked. After a nothing less than horrific year and a half with my previous instrcutor; I passed with Phil in just over 5 months- suprisingly-(for me!) becomming a confident and capable driver! Following passing, I did a pass plus course which I found to be value for money and extremly helpfull on the areas not covered in lessons; such as motorways. (I did pass plus in my own car-which was great experience.) In hindsight the seemingly high price tag was not as it seemed~the difference in service, knowledge, proffesionalism, reliablilty, and people skills became apparent when select was compared with my previous cheaper instructors! I guess you get what you pay for! Worth absolutely every penny! Definatly a cut above the rest. I could not recommend this school enough to anyone. If it wernt for Phil im sure I would of given up! Honetly if youre considering this school it really is the best of the best.
Thanks Phil, thanks Bruce- all the best.
(Will take you for a spin when I get that new sporty number!)

Thanks & regards

| Review: | I recently passed my test having taken lessons with Select Driving school. I started taking lessons earlier this year at the grand age of 34. I was very apprehensive about getting into the driving seat of a car, but as soon as I spoke to my instrcutor for the first time, and then meeting him for the first lesson, I knew I had made the right choice. The instrcutor was very experienced, and was helpful, courteous and professional at all times. We devised a schedule that suited my needs. I have a young family, and having passed my driving test has made a world of difference to me. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone. |

| Review: | my experience of learning to drive with Phil at select driving school was great. i was 30 years old when i took my first lesson and had never even turned the ignition of a car before that! i was quickly put at ease behind the wheel and felt that Phil was obviously very experienced at teaching people of all abilities. He was always very calm and never made me feel silly or embarrassed if i made a mistake.He was very thorough at explaining things to me and i always felt that he wouldn't push me too quickly into anything i may not feel ready to undertake. i was always able to work out convenient lesson times that catered for my schedule. After i phoned round for price quotes from select and other,cheaper driving schools, i decided to choose select because of Phil's professionalism and the time he took to talk to me on the phone when booking my lessons. I would certainly recommend Phil to anyone thinking of learning to drive. I'm so glad i did it and feel a confident and competent driver now. |

| Review: | Select Driving School had exactly what I was looking for; knowledgeable, competent, friendly, encouraging and experienced instructors along with an array of intensive courses to suit any need.
I had to wait until they had availability for the intensive course I wanted, but it was worth it. I passed my test at the first time!. I really recommend Select Driving School as a place where you learn the skills you need to be confident the road and just not to pass the test. They are worth every penny.

| Review: | I have recently passed with Select Driving School. I had regular lessons and managed to pass first time. Both Phil and Bruce were friendly and put me at ease straight away. I found that the lessons were easy to book, well planned and also enjoyable.
The lessons were well priced for the experiences you gain, i was relaxed and not at all nervous, like my previous experience.
The lessons are tailor made to fit the individual’s needs which enables them to progress at their own pace.
I can’t sing Select Driving Schools praises enough and I would immediately recommend them to anyone looking to take driving lessons.
I am now taking my Pass Plus with Select and can’t wait to get going on my own.
Thanks.
Becky

| Review: | In terms of value for money, Select Driving School is definitely worth every single penny! Having put off driving lessons after a number of years, I was quite nervous and apprehensive about being on the road. However Phil soon put me at ease and I progressed at a steady speed that I felt comfortable with. After completing a platinum and ultimate course I have passed my test first time - something I could not have imagined 4 1/2 months ago when I began.
Both Phile and Bruce were friendly and patient and I felt immediately at ease in their knowledgeble and capable hands. Although there are cheaper driving schools out there, with Select, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you will be getting a friendly and sound reliable service, that your time and money are not going to be wasted and they will bend over backwards to fit you in! |

| Review: | I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience with Select Driving School. Having initially undertaken driving lessons when I was 17, I did a one-week intensive course after a gap of 11 years and passed first time. My instructor was patient, friendly and clearely very experienced and the whole process was unstressful and successful. They are the first to admit that they are not the cheapest driving school but I can vouch that you really do get what you pay for. A big thumbs up from me. |
