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.
I had a fantastic experience with Doug. Passed my practical test first time. He was very friendly, professional and made me feel at ease and safe at all times during the course of my driving journey. Would recommend him 100 times over.

I’ve been learning automatic with Jonny after a bad experience with my old instructor I enquired with Geoff Capes. It’s been a great experience from the very start. Jonny is very friendly & approachable, but aside from that, he is an outstanding teacher; he explains everything in detail. He helps you correct any mistakes yourself. I’ve enjoyed my lessons, I feel confident in my driving, and can’t wait to pass and get on the road. I would highly recommend this school if you’re looking to start your lessons.

I passed my driving test first time with Amanda, without having any previous experience behind the wheel. Through out she made me feel comfortable which helped me to build my confidence. I couldn’t recommend her anymore to anyone looking for a driving instructor!!

I passed my test first time with Doug with 3 minors, I wouldn’t recommend a driving instructor enough! He made me feel so comfortable & helped me believe in myself. He is very professional and always gave clear explanations, just a genuine person who wants to help you pass!! My sister is now doing her lessons with Doug & she is really enjoying them😌

Fantastic instructor Simon
I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Simon. From the outset, Simon demonstrated a high level of professionalism, patience and pedagogical clarity. Concepts were explained methodically and in a way that was both accessible and logically structured, which made it easy to pick up and build confidence.
Each lesson was purposefully structured and tailored to address specific areas for improvement. Feedback was consistently constructive, precise and delivered in a calm, supportive manner. This approach not only strengthened my technical skills, but gave me the skills to drive for life. Simon isn’t instructing to just pass the test he is helping you drive safely for the future.
I passed the test first time and I attribute this mainly to Simon’s thoughtful instruction and high standards. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone seeking a rigorous, supportive and genuinely effective driving instructor.

I passed my driving test with Geoff Capes Driving School and had a great experience throughout. My instructor Amanda, was very patient, professional, and supportive, which really helped build my confidence. Her clear explanations and calm approach made learning to drive much easier. I’m very grateful for all her guidance and would happily recommend Geoff Capes Driving School, especially Amanda, to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly instructor.

I've just passed my test (first time!) with Doug, and I really feel like I hit the jackpot having him as my instructor.
I was quite a nervous learner but Doug made me feel very at ease, he was patient and always made me feel like I could do it even when I was doubting myself. His teaching style is very clear and encouraging, and his feedback always felt constructive instead of making me feel bad. I came away from every lesson feeling like I’d learnt so much - he’s very knowledgable and you can really tell he loves to help and really does want the best outcome for you.
He’s truly one of the nicest people you could wish to have teaching you, (I actually looked forward to & enjoyed my lessons), and I know I couldn’t have passed first time if it wasn’t for Doug!
I’d recommend Geoff Capes and in particular Doug Walsh to anyone
