Congratulations to Amy Jayne Elliott, from Offerton, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her very FIRST attempt on 14th April 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
Amy, it’s been a pleasure being your driving instructor and watching you learn each week. You had challenges along the way, including not believing in yourself, self-doubt, and uncertainty at times during your drives. Today’s pass proves you can do it. Now you can rest easy, start believing in yourself, and drive confidently.
It’s been an amazing journey watching you become a mum for the first time and listening to your stories about the baby.
Leading up to test day, your nerves were playing a part in your driving lessons, and again, the self-doubt crept in by making errors. You were nervous on the day; however, having a joke with Angela, the examiner, eased these before you got in the car. On the test, you were relaxed and came away with that all-important pass.
All the very best, searching for your first car and driving yourself around, and no doubt being a taxi for family.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor, Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Ella, what a result today. You have come such a long way from our first driving lesson and you should be very proud of yourself. You always turned up with a smile and never gave up, which showed today with that all important pass.
On the day you did have some pre test nerves but you held your own. You can now drive yourself to work instead of taking a taxi. It’s been a pleasure teaching you.

Congratulations to Owen Dobbs of Glossop who passed his driving test on 19th March at the FIRST attempt at Bredbury Test Centre.
A calm and controlled drive from you today Owen. You worked hard to get to test standard and pushing your test back from the original date was definitely the right decision. Having the same examiner who your girlfriend passed with spurred you on as well.
Best wishes for the future from your instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Emma Simpson of Glossop who passed her driving test at the FIRST attempt on 10th March at Buxton Test Centre.
When your examiner gave you the news that you had passed Emma I think your tears said it all. This will make such a difference to you and your son William’s lives. For you driving hasn’t been a problem, you said that passing your Theory Test was the biggest hurdle.
Best wishes for the future from your driving instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Helena Dawson from Wilmslow, on passing her driving test in an automatic car, on her very FIRST attempt at Macclesfield Test Centre on the 28th February 2026.
Helena it’s been a pleasure. Our time together has been short due to coming from another driving instructor, and we were able to work on some issues including roundabouts and your mirrors. During this time your confidence has really grown and you never gave up. You came to every lesson with determination, and this showed today.
Despite some pretest nerves you handled the driving test very well and came away with that important pass you wanted. Make sure to wave at me from your new car when you see me on the roads.
Best wishes from your driving instructor Jonny and all the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School.

Congratulations to Noah Gillott of Hayfield who passed his driving test at the FIRST attempt on 25th February at Buxton Test Centre.

I’m so pleased for you. Best wishes for the future from your driving instructor Steve and all the team at Geoff Capes Driving School.

Congratulations to Imogen Wicks of Reddish, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her FIRST attempt on 25th February 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
What an amazing journey we have been on. We have had lots of laughs and highs, along with some tears and lows in lessons; the biggest thing is that you never gave up.
You had to wait a long time for this moment due to your Theory Test struggles. I’m so proud of you for never quitting. You often doubted yourself and said that I don’t know in certain situations. Today’s pass proves that you did know and that you smashed out of the park, coming away with just 3 faults and Mark, the examiner, gave you excellent feedback with that amazing pass.
I am really going to miss our driving lessons and time spent in the car, although our journey doesn’t fully end, with your sister taking driving lessons with me.
All the best in finding your first car, driving yourself around and all the best with your own business.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Emily Cookson from Cheadle, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on 24th February 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
Emily, you have always shown a passion to learn to drive, and you understood everything I instructed you. You learnt from your mistakes and understood them clearly.
You were really unlucky the first time around, and with excellent feedback, you carried on and didn’t give up. Since then, you purchased your own car and went out for extra practice.
You were a little nervous on the day, but you didn’t let it get to you, and you took the same route as in your first test. You kept composed, avoided the mistakes from last time, and came away with that all-important pass from Angela, the examiner.
All the best driving yourself around to dancing, family and good luck in your new job.
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

You were never afraid to ask questions and always wanted to improve your driving skills. The hard work you put in clearly showed today with a test pass.
You displayed a great drive today despite some pre-test nerves you remained calm under the pressure. I’m sure Mum and Dad will be very proud of you. Make sure to wave when you see me on the roads in your car.

Congratulations to Ana Romanow of Davenport, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her very FIRST attempt on 16th January 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
What an incredible journey we have had. You started your journey with me from scratch after having a couple of driving lessons with another driving instructor who was making you do things you shouldn’t be doing and pressuring you to book your test straight away. This put doubt in your mind, and you were a little apprehensive to start.
You quickly settled down and felt very relaxed and comfortable with me as your instructor, so much so that you instantly recommended me to someone else.
I am going to miss you, and I have loved having you as a pupil; your determination and doing things in your own time have resulted in your test pass. I’m super proud of you.
All the very best in finishing your house project, your Uni work and becoming everything that we have talked about!!
Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor, Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Jade Cooper of Offerton, Stockport, on passing her practical driving test in an automatic car on her FIRST attempt on 15th January 2026, at the Bredbury Test Centre.
You started nervously and were unsure whether you were doing the correct thing; you often questioned yourself, and in your head, you cancelled your test so many times leading up to the test. With some positive feedback from me, you started to see that you were good enough to pass your test.
You were always engaged and asked relevant questions at the correct time, which also boosted your confidence each week.
You were a little nervous leading up to the test time; however, you kept composed and came away with that all-important pass from Phil the examiner.
I will miss our morning driving lessons and chats during the lesson. The very best for your renovation and business, and looking for an automatic car to share. Wishing you all the best from your driving instructor Doug, and the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School

Congratulations to Nisa Johnson from Macclesfield on passing her practical driving test, in an automatic car, on her very FIRST attempt at Macclesfield Test Centre on the 7th January.

On the day of your test you were confident and this clearly showed with a pass. Now you can drive your children to school and also drive yourself to work. I will miss our driving lessons together and wish you all the best for the future.
Best wishes from your driving instructor Jonny and all the customer support team here at Geoff Capes Driving School.
