Doug was really nice and calming. He helped me to pass first time after only 6 lessons! Would definitely recommend him
Luke, July 2026The best in the business – thanks Doug!
The best in the business! Thanks to Doug Walsh who helped me to pass! I’m 43 and it’s so hard to learn new things. I spent 2 years with another instructor, but earlier this year decided to try automatic and decided to try Geoff Capes. Through Doug’s patience and understanding and really clear way of communicating, today I passed! He is a huge asset to the business I am so thankful for this instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend! Thank you!
Gemma, July 2026My instructor was Simon. An excellent instructor. He maintains high standards while remaining calm, patient, and supportive throughout the training. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a top-quality instructor.
