We understand this, which is why we employ different methods tailored to each learner – all tried and tested to ensure that they make learning to drive simpler and more enjoyable.
We appreciate that patience, clarity and a personable demeanour are incredibly important whilst learning to drive – so each and every one of our instructors possess these natural qualities and plenty of up to date qualifications to enable them to support you fully at every step of the way – guaranteeing customer success every time.
Below you can see some examples of our customer success – testimonials from satisfied learners who we are proud to say passed their tests with flying colours.
My instructor, Doug, really helped me to pass my test as he was extremely patient with me and helped me every week with what I needed to pass. He made sure that we was on the same page about what we was doing and what we have left to focus on. I passed my test first time and don’t think I would’ve passed if it wasn’t for my choice in instructor, so I heavily recommend.

Absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Geoff Capes Driving School. Thanks to the incredible guidance and support from my instructor Doug who helped me pass my driving test on my first attempt! From the very beginning, my instructor made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Their teaching style is patient and encouraging, which really helped ease my nerves. Each lesson was well-structured, focusing on essential skills. Thank you again to Doug and Geoff Capes Driving School which i would highly recommend!

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
The main reason I chose Geoff Capes Driving School was the amazing reviews they’ve have received, everyone seemed very happy with their service.
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
The school was close and seemed trustworthy- well-known and recommended.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
It was a lot simpler than I expected, though that was good as Amanda my driving instructor taught in very logical small steps that built up to a wider picture.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Amanda’s methods were brilliant, she stayed calm and talked through each mistake or question, helping you to pinpoint areas to improve rather than just telling you. She focused on moving forward despite mistakes and she’s just a nice person to spend two hours of your week with.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
Honestly, we saw his automatic car parked up where our lad takes his karate lessons. Also, because I’d finally know if he was the same Geoff Capes from telly in the 1980’s. Spoiler alert: he’s not.
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
That they had an automatic car and good customer reviews. I’d seen some of Geoff’s cars around town elsewhere and they were always driving impeccably.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
It was a LOT more pleasant than the last time I tried (and failed) some fifteen years prior. Much less nerve-wracking.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
I really enjoyed my lessons with Geoff. We always had fun and I always felt the lessons were done with the end goal of allowing me to drive safely anywhere, rather than the end goal of just getting through the test.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
Absolutely! I’d have no hesitation in doing so.
What could we have done better to improve our customer service or enhance your learning experience with us?
Nothing comes to mind.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
A friend recommended Geoff Capes Driving School, the driving lessons were a competitive price and the instructors available had good reviews on the website.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
I was quite nervous about learning to drive initially, but the calm and patient nature of my driving lessons with Milan put my mind at ease. As my lessons progressed, I felt more confident and happier to be on the road.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Milan made use of teaching resources effectively, especially when it came to the often-dreaded parallel parking!
At the beginning of each lesson, we recapped what we had done the previous lesson and Milan allowed me to lead on what I wanted to learn next.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
My lessons were informative and thorough and took away my nervousness whilst driving, ultimately, making me a better driver!
I passed on my first attempt, which I attribute to Milan’s instruction- Thanks Milan!

I had read so many good reviews on the website and on google
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Having a instructor to put me at ease and give me confidence and Steve did just that.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
Learning to drive in my opinion was quite fun experience as it was the next step for me in gaining independence and not having to rely on others and Steve made it a blast.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Steve’s methods were really useful as we spent a few of those early driving lessons on the basics and repetition of those so that when I came onto the main roads I was a lot more confident and it helped me in the long run with a first time pass.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
I would highly recommended Steve to any learner out there as he was so calm and nice to from the minute I stepped in the car and that gave me a lot of reassurance and confidence in me being able to pass my driving. He’s methods are also very useful as well as it resulted in me getting a pass first time.
What could we have done better to improve our customer service or enhance your learning experience with us?
Nothing everything was great
