“Christan is an excellent teacher with lots of patience for nervous new learners. Great to communicate with and can gain lots of knowledge to be able to pass the theory/practical tests.”

“I had a lesson booked on 20th June 2023 at 9am. The instructor did not show up. I called him twice, no answer. I contacted the company through chat and email and I was told to wait when I already had waited for 20 minutes. I asked for a cancellation and refund which they declined at first and eventually agreed to when I insisted I wasn't willing to take lessons from someone who missed his lesson. Not even an apology.”

“I was lucky to have Michael Higgins as my driving instructor who is highly professional with 20 years of experience. He boosted my confidence and driving skills beyond basic driving technics in a proficient manner. He recognised my weak points and personalised every lesson to my specific needs and requirements. I am truly grateful to Michael for all his support and help.”

“The website is shockingly bad. It’s l always saying something’s gone wrong when you’ve tried to do a very basic task - like book a lesson. What’s more - the website won’t allow you to change your instructor or get a refund for unused hours automatically- you have to request these things for example through the chat function. I have tried chat a few times but I never receive a reply. It has also become increasingly difficult to get regular lessons in my area. I asked via chat to change instructor, to see if another instructor had more availability, but AA never got back to me.”

“I took driving lessons with Jahir and I can honestly say that he is easily the best driving instructor out there. He knows exactly what he's talking about, very patient and professional and also, just a great person to have a chat to - making the driving lessons very enjoyable. I would 110% recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive and can guarantee that you'll learn properly, fast and enjoyably. He genuinely wants you to pass and gives the best advice for you all the time. He has loads of tips and tricks to help you pass well and efficiently, whilst making sure that you can be as safe as possible on the roads. Choose Jahir, you won't regret it!”

“I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with AA Driving School, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. My instructor, Ahmad Zia Kohistani, was absolutely fantastic. His professionalism, patience, and expertise made the learning process enjoyable and efficient. Despite having limited time to prepare for my driving test at Pinner Driving Test Center, Ahmad went above and beyond to ensure I was well-prepared. His clear instructions and insightful feedback helped me build confidence behind the wheel and master the necessary skills in time. Thanks to Ahmad's guidance and support, I successfully passed my driving test at Pinner Driving Test Center. I am incredibly grateful for his dedication and commitment to my success.”

“After 2 failure, I was lucky to have Raj as my driving instructor. With him day by day I became better and better, confident and safer driver. His 'you can do it approach' not only helped me to boost my confidence level also helped me to trust on myself and my capabilities. I passed my driving test on 3rd attempt from Mitcham. Without his support it was not possible for me to pass the test smoothly. He is a very good instructor but most importantly he is a very good human being as well. His soft and patient behaviour, always smile on his face and caring for each and every student stolen my heart. I am sad that I will not be seeing you on a regular basis. God bless you Raj.”

“Ahmad Zia Kohistani was my instructor and he is very good at making you ready to pass. He cares about his students and will be strict with you when needed to ensure you don’t make any mistakes. He is not like those other instructors who just take your money and don’t really care if you learn anything or not. Would recommend as I passed shortly after only after 2 month with him”

“AA’s website and lesson booking system work great, and my instructor David Meredith was the best teacher ever. He is immensely patient, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy. Whenever I made a mistake on the road somewhere, he took me back there to repeat the manoeuvre until I got that right. I almost gave up after failing my first driving test (purely due to nerves) but thanks to David who assured me I was ready, I passed with only one minor fault on the second attempt! There was a gap of 3 months between my 2 tests but I passed after just 2 refresher lessons because he taught me so well before the first test, I remembered everything!”

“Faisal Anwar was my driving instructor and he was brilliant. I was very nervous on my first lesson but Faisal made me feel comfortable and confident when driving. He explained my errors well and taught me to parallel park which was my weak point. He was brilliant. I recommend Faisal to everyone learning to drive.”

“Before learning with Raj, I previously had a driving instructor who wasn’t very good at teaching at an efficient pace. Within 2 hours Raj taught me more than my previous instructor did in 8 hours. Raj guided me and taught me well. He made sure I understood everything before carrying onto another topic. I am proud to say that I passed my driving test with 0 faults, acing the test!”

“My instructor from AA driving school (Mrs Mandip Kaur Bhatti) is an excellent instructor with outstanding standard of teaching. She makes you feel comfortable and confident when driving, treats all learners with respect. I would recommend Ms Bhatti to all new learners!”

“Choosing AA driving school was genuinely the best decision I've made. My instructor, Jesuthasan Rajkumar (aka the best driving instructor), was super friendly and really encouraging. He believed in me and increased my confidence in driving and always gave me countless opportunities to fix my mistakes. He really helped me ease my nerves right before the test as well by reassuring my driving skills and capabilites. He would always review my driving at the end of each lesson and ask me plenty of questions to test my knowledge which helped me to reflect on my mistakes. I strongly recommend the AA driving school and especially Rajkumar.”

“Regardless of the quality of the instructors, the school itself is extremely unreliable. They took my instructor's car just before my test, haven't provided a replacement car, and refused to issue a refund. Safe yourself a trouble, stay away from them.”

“I have been learning from an instructor of AA. He was refused to put the unscheduled time to the system. I could not get my unused lessons for refund. And AA is not helping me with this under the circumstance i have the messages as evidences. The instructor also shouting at me when I was driving. I have to hire a instructor from another company to continue my study. What a shame.”
