All of our driving lessons are based on customer success. As you browse our site you’ll see how our flexible and comprehensive approach enables you to learn to drive in the best possible way for you. We believe it’s this that’s the key to our success – and yours! If you want a male instructor – no problem! Do you feel more comfortable with a female instructor? Again, it’s not a problem. Would you prefer to take your lessons in a manual or automatic? You choose. We can cover any requirement you may have without issue. We work around you for a strategy that best fits your lifestyle and preferences – not the other way around. This is one of the reasons why we have such a high pass rate – happy learners make confident drivers. If you’re uncomfortable with the way you’re learning to drive or find it inconvenient in any way, it’s unlikely you’ll pass. That’s why we focus on positive customer experience and work with you to help you to fully benefit from and enjoy your driving lessons.

What our clients have to say….
PASSED FIRST TIME! I’m a 31 year old lad who hasn’t had any lessons in 10 years prior to this (despite selling cars for the last 5 years) I found Amanda who’s teaching style was perfect for me. I would describe Amanda as Militant which for me was perfect it helped me become disciplined which ultimately allowed me to pass first time. Amanda had very good bedside manor and we got along as well as you could hope in these situations. Amanda s ability to teach and her knowledge are second to none, and I’m really lucky I was able to have her as my instructor. Wish you all the best!
Oliver, November 2025I am thrilled to share my experience with my driving instructor, Amanda, who has truly been a star in helping me become a confident driver. After a challenging experience with a previous instructor, I was apprehensive about learning to drive again. However, my instructor’s calm and supportive attitude made all the difference. From our very first lesson, I felt valued and understood. Amanda took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored each session to my needs, which significantly boosted my confidence. Their patience was remarkable; they always encouraged me to take my time and ask questions, which made the learning process so much easier and enjoyable. Thanks to Amanda I finally believe in my driving abilities, I not only passed my driving test but gained the self-assurance I needed to drive confidently. I highly recommend this driving instructor to anyone, especially those who may feel anxious about driving. Amanda’s expertise, patience, and positive approach! Thank you for helping me Amanda!
I passed my driving test first time with my instructor Amanda from Geoff Capes Driving school!!Amanda was an amazing instructor really supportive throughout my lessons. She helped me build my confidence and made learning to drive enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend Amanda and Geoff capes to anyone waiting to pass their test and become a safe driver.
Chitira from Macclesfield, October 2025I had been driving with my parents to prepare for my test for around 3 months. I then decided to book a single lesson to practice good test techniques.I was connected with Doug, and after that first lesson I decided that I wanted to have more lessons with him. He is extremely calm and knowledgeable and really helped prepare me for my test. Thanks to his excellent teaching methods I managed to pass with only 1 minor driving fault.
I would 100% recommend Geoff Capes driving school and especially Douglas Walsh!
I previously had a bad experience with another instructor, in a manual car, at a different school, so decided to go with automatic this time round and so glad I got Doug to help me with it!
Absolutely amazing! Had a great instructor who supported me into passing first time! My instructor, Doug, is amazing and helped me get to where I am with my driving today!
