What learners say.

Passed first time with Sarah in 34 hours. The plan in the app meant I knew exactly what the next lesson was and my dad knew what to practise with me on Sundays. The test car was the car I had learned in, which mattered more than I expected on the morning.

Failed twice with another school and was ready to give up. Dave took me on, found the thing I kept doing at roundabouts in the first lesson, and I passed with two minors four months later. He never once made me feel stupid. Worth every pound of the block.

Automatic with Amara, 26 hours start to pass, as a 31-year-old who had been putting it off for a decade. The theory guide on the website is genuinely how I passed the theory in three weeks. Same price as manual, which another school tried to charge me £4 an hour more for.

Two-week intensive with Raj before a job that needed a licence. Honest on the phone that 30 hours was tight for me and right about it; I added ten and passed on the Friday at Llantrisant Road. The test was booked before I started, which is the whole point.

Passed with Sarah, lovely instructor, honest school. Four stars because my test got moved by the DVSA with a week's notice and the school's text about it went to my old number, so I found out from the DVSA email. They apologised and now confirm contact details every block, but it was a stressful afternoon.

Refresher lessons after fifteen years without driving and a move to Cardiff. Two sessions with Raj on the roads I actually use, the Gabalfa interchange twice, and a motorway hour on the M4. No syllabus, no fuss, £76 a session. I drive to work now.
