I had failed my
driving test 5 times before I decided to do an
Intensive course followed by test somewhere
outside London.
Mark, the instructor, was a great teacher and
gave me quite a few tips my previous instructor
had not. It was also great that Mark knew all
the test routes and we prepared all the sections
of independent driving. I felt comfortable that
there would be no new piece of road that I
hadn't driven on before.
Although I didn't pass on my next go, I returned
to King's Lynn a few months later and was
successful. I would highly recommend Academy
Driving school for anyone who has failed a few
tests.

I cannot thank Pete
enough for the highly professional service
provided that resulted in a pass with only 1
minor fault. After a disastrous couple of
lessons with another company which depleted my
confidence, I quickly gained first rate driving
experience and my confidence was restored. The 5
day intensive course proved perfect timewise to
gain the skills necessary and become a
competent, safe and courteous driver. Thank-you
Pete for your patience, kindness and excellent
delivery of skills necessary which has
ultimately enhanced my life. Ros.

I booked a
three-day intensive course with Pete and I could
not recommend him and the driving school enough.
I passed my test on the last day and now feel so
much more confident on the road than previously.
After having hours and hours of weekly lessons
and failed tests, I felt like I would never be
in a position where I felt happy driving alone.
Pete completely changed the way I felt about
driving and 'tweaked' some of my driving habits
which not only helped me pass my test but is now
helping in my every day driving. The intensive
course was personally the best thing I could
have done to become a better driver and finally
receive my pink license. Pete made the whole
experience enjoyable and is very personable. He
also made the booking incredibly easy and
arranged my lovely accommodation for my stay. I
would highly recommend the Academy Driving
School.

Outstanding week of
lessons that made me a much better driver.
Instructor was utterly professional, extremely
patient, and great at providing feedback. Nice
mix of environments to drive around in, from
city centre to open country. Very nice,
forgiving little car for a learner to use. On
the last day, pretty much sailed through the
test, collecting only a couple of minors. A very
enjoyable week all round, with a great outcome.
Accommodation arranged was very good value, too.
I would absolutely recommend Academy,
particularly if you just want to get away for a
few days and concentrate on getting up to test
standard. It's hard to see how you could do
better.

I recently
completed a 25 hour course with Pete at Academy
Intensive. After having done many hours with an
instructor in London, I was not particularly
confident, and hadn't really enjoyed the
experience of driving. Within one day of being
taught by Pete, he had managed to put me at ease
and give me a confidence I'd not previously
experienced, making me feel like I was actually
driving! Thank you for showing me how not to
'cheat' my maneuvers, and for teaching me in
such a way that I could do them in any car. I
did a pretty exceptional reverse round the
corner in my test, you would have been proud!
Also the Beeches guest house was extremely
helpful and friendly. I would all round
recommend Pete and Academy.

I recently
completed a 5-day intensive course in an
automatic with Simon Henson. I'm 38 years old,
and although I've had driving lessons before,
I'd never taken a test and hadn't sat behind the
wheel of a car in well over 10 years. At the end
of this course, I'm pleased to say I passed my
test first time! Simon's tuition is first rate.
The course is very intensive and quite
exhausting, but in the end it paid off. Simon
quickly identifies your problem areas and
focuses on them relentlessly until you always
get it right. He's determined and really wants
you to pass - unlike instructors I've had in the
past who seem happy just to keep giving you
endless lessons week after week. He's also a top
bloke who's really nice and is full of great
advice and tips - not just on driving but on
everything! He even recommended some great local
restaurants which my wife and I loved. I still
can't believe I've passed. I keep checking my
certificate to see if it's real. Thanks for
everything guys, best money I've ever spent.

My experience with
Academy Driving School went so smoothly, I did
the 35 hour intensive course, I stayed in the
B&B which was delightful and friendly and very
comfortable, I passed my test first time, with
only 2 minor faults. I was absolutely stunned! 1
month later, I have just driven my family and
cat on the motorway in france, (on the other
side of the road!!!) and I did not once receive
a complaint! After 1 week of driving with
Academy Driving school I am very confident about
my driving skills and now I have passed my test
to prove it! Thank you Academy Driving School.

I was a very
nervious driver, I took my test 3 times with
over 60 hours driving with an instructor and
failed every time so I gave up, 7 months later
my mum found the academy driving school and all
I needed was 19 hours with them and they were
paient and gave me heaps of confidence; I then
went on to pass my test first time with them.

I have been
struggling for years to pass my driving test and
in the process I had lost any confidence that I
would ever be able to achieve it. Pete at
Academy Intensive, was very supportive and
understood right from our first lesson where my
problems lay and was able to offer tailor-made
solutions for me that worked. I was impressed by
his patience, ability to be tough but
encouraging at the same and his insight into why
I had failed so many times before. I found the
intensive 3-day and 2-day courses extremely
helpful - I had enough time to work on
correcting my errors, practising routes and
doing mock tests without overstressing. My
husband, as supportive as ever, and I used the
opportunity to have a few wonderful days in the
area - like a mini-break, going to beautiful
places and restaurants after a hard day driving
around. Finally succeeding on the driving test
was as much down to my abilities to drive
without making a serious error as to my restored
belief that I could really do it. Passing the
test has been very challenging for me and I
jokingly said to my friends and colleagues that
given the choice, I would have preferred to
complete another degree than learn to drive and
pass the test. If passing the driving test has
become for you a nightmare, try something
different! Give Pete a ring and discuss your
options! He likes the challenge and I sure
presented him with a challenge. I am very, very
grateful to him.

This was an
excellent, well structured course. My
instructor, Simon, was fantastic in simplifying
everything, and his thorough preparation gave me
huge confidence going into my test. His
techniques for the maneuvers were very easy to
learn and highly effective, whilst he ensured I
was well practiced with all the most challenging
aspects of the test routes. Most importantly of
all, I felt like a genuinely good driver at the
end of my course. Highly recommend it!
