Avoid the AA/BSM driving instructor franchise - I am an AA driving instructor, but I am only continuing with the AA, given I am under a contract that is very much in the favour of the AA, meaning I can't leave. Although I am a customer of the AA as a franchisee, they do not treat me like a customer, with all policies favouring the AA. Even when a fine is picked up, they charge a signifcant administration fee and take the fine out of your income, giving you no chance to defend yourself. This is just one of so many unfair situations the AA put you in as a driving instructor. My recommendation to anyone looking to be a driving instructor - avoid the AA and BSM, which is one of the same. In hindsight, I should have gone down the private route and avoided the PDI route altogether with a franchise, or get another private ADI to sponsor me so I could earn while I learn. The online and practical training is largely terrible. Please be aware that the pink PDI licence is unlikely to last long enough for you to take your ADI part three, if you take more than one attempt to pass. This is something the AA don't make clear.

I passed my driving test at Morden Test Centre with Atiqa and would definitely recommend her! I had bad experience with a previous driving instructor, so I was quite nervous and lacked confidence when I started lessons with her. She was really patient, supportive, and understanding from day one, which helped me build my confidence back up. She explains things really well and always makes sure you understand what you’re doing and why. I never felt rushed or judged, even when I made mistakes. In the run-up to my test, she was especially encouraging and helped me stay calm and focused. One thing I really appreciated was that she shared helpful resources and materials outside of lessons, so I could keep learning and improving in my own time. Thanks to her, I passed my test at Morden. If you’re looking for a friendly, patient instructor who genuinely wants you to do well, I’d definitely recommend Atiqa.

I’ve went for lessons with other driving schools but my driving instructor (Bruce Izadi) with the aa was one of the best I’ve had often doubted myself but he gave me the confidence to pass first try with 1 driving fault couldn’t of asked for anyone better will for sure recommend him to my friends.

I cannot thank my instructor, Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj), enough! Before starting with Raj, I took lessons with another instructor, but I wasn't making the progress I needed and felt stuck. Everything changed when I came to Raj. He patiently identified and corrected all of my bad habits and mistakes. What sets him apart is that he doesn't just prepare you to pass a test ,he teaches you how to truly understand the road. Thanks to his excellent guidance, I successfully passed my exam at the West Wickham test centre! I can now drive anywhere with absolute confidence and zero hesitation. If you want an instructor who actually helps you become a skilled, independent driver, look no further than Raj!

I highly recommend Morte Safari to anyone looking for a driving instructor. He is extremely patient, explains everything thoroughly, and teaches in a way that is easy to understand. He’s an amazing instructor, and I honestly would not have passed my test without his help, support, and encouragement throughout the process. If you do book with him, please let him know Nicole sent you 😊

A years effort of lessons in between working 40hours but I got there in the end. Thanks to Renato for building my confidence and showing me how to be a safe driver! Passed first time.

I passed first time with 0 minors at Portsmouth test centre yesterday and my instructor Kate Traill was lovely! She was super friendly, professional and helpful! She was really patient and really helped build my confidence on the road. She teaches in a way that’s personalised to you and understands everyone learns in different ways which helped me immensely. Very good at communicating and would always let me know if she was running slightly late and never missed a lesson. She also helped me book lessons at a time that suited me best and if I couldn’t made our usual time slot every week, she would find a work around that suited us both which I appreciated! Would highly recommend if you’re looking to learn in the Portsmouth area!!

I took my driving lessons with Ms. Ziba Alamshahivaighan. She explains every point very calmly and patiently. I owe my success to her, as she teaches driving extremely well. I recommend taking driving lessons with her to everyone.

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Muhammed Riaz. He was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout every lesson. His calm teaching style helped build my confidence on the road, and he explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test on the first attempt! I would highly recommend Muhammed Riaz to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor.

My incredible instructor Atiqa was genuinely the best teacher ever. She was patient, explained things perfectly and gave me confidence behind the wheel. She is the reason I now have my driving license and I couldn’t recommend her as an instructor more.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than NAZ. Thanks to his patience, clear teaching style, and constant encouragement, I passed my driving test first time with only 2 minor mistakes. Honestly he was like a prophet, I was lucky enough to go through the same route we practiced just just before my driving test . He always made me feel calm and confident behind the wheel, especially when practicing difficult manoeuvres and dealing with busy roads. Every lesson was well structured, professional, and focused on helping me improve. NAZ explains everything in a simple and easy to understand way and also use his iPads to make me understand the road properly, which really helped build my confidence and driving skills quickly. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive, and knowledgeable driving instructor. Thank you again, NAZ couldn’t have done it without you.
