“I'm super proud to have passed and it certainly wouldn't have been possible without the AA driving school and my instructor Mr Andy Carrick. So thank you very much.”

“I feel truly blessed to have had Mr ARSLAN AHMED CHOWDRY as my driving instructor. More than just teaching me how to drive, he gave me confidence when I doubted myself and motivated me whenever I felt nervous. His calm words and constant encouragement made all the difference. Every lesson felt like learning with a friend who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. I will always be grateful for his patience, kindness, and the positive energy he brought to each session. Thanks to him, I now drive with confidence, and I’ll never forget this journey.”

“Aa Driving School the best one . I want to give a huge thank you to JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR ( RAJ ) for stepping in and bringing his car for my driving test today. Even though I hadn’t driven the car before, he made me feel calm, comfortable, and fully supported from start to finish. He showed up on time, was super friendly, and made sure everything was in place for the test. His help honestly made a big difference—and I PASSED! 🎉 If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and helpful, I 100% recommend him. Couldn’t have done it without you—thank you again!”

“Thank you Ahmad Zia Kohistani! Zia is a great instructor. He was very patient with me and taught the skills by breaking them down into components that I can understand and follow. He understood what I needed and adapted the lessons to that and to how I learn best. Zia, I am grateful for your help. Thank you very much!”

“A very poor start. For my daughter’s first lesson the instructor was 25 minutes late. It turns out he was parked down the road a bit. We tried to contact him but chat was the only way to connect so very slow. The driver did not make any attempt to connect with us to say where they were or why they were late.”

“AA driving school made me really happy. I passed at the first time with just a few minors. My instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) taught me well!”

“My driving instructor was Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) - I found him and the driving school from looking at the reviews online. I previously failed my driving tests two times in the past. With Raj we only done 4 weeks / 10 hours. Raj is really good at breaking down and making the hard things simple and easy to understand. Patient very good at boosting your confidence.”

“Blerim Trnava is a brilliant driving instructor! He’s super friendly, patient, and really knows how to explain things clearly. What I appreciated most is how he always pointed out the small details that make a big difference — that’s what helped me feel fully prepared for the test. Even when it was pouring rain on the day of my test, I felt calm and confident thanks to his guidance. Can’t recommend him enough — thank you, Blerim!”

“Amazing driving school! JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR ( RAJ ) was nothing short of brilliant. Very good instructor and very clear with his explanation of things. I've started recommending him to so many others already so he can help them like he helped me! First time driving test pass! Thank you again Raj! See you for Pass Plus 😀!”

“Martin was fantastic, I was so nervous to learn to drive and have had many instructors but he is the one I stuck with due to his patience. He is kind and will not put pressure on you to do anything. Couldn’t recommend enough.”

“Raj was an incredible driving instructor! Patient, clear, and always encouraging, he made every lesson enjoyable and confidence-boosting. Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my test — and feel truly ready to drive on my own. Highly recommend Raj to anyone learning with the AA!”

“My instructor was the best. I live in Oxfordshire and my test was in Banbury. I'd never driven in Banury before and he made efforts to help me feel confident by taking me for mock exams before the test. I've never felt safer, more secure and confident in driving than I did with my instuctor Ed. I highly recommend AA, I have been woth another driving school who have let me down in the past and I've never had issues with AA, I had been woth them for about a year before I passed my test. Thank you Ed!”

“Totally loved my experience with my instructor Zahid! He is by far the best instructor anyone could ask for. He was patient, and reassured me that it would all be alright. I Cannot even imagine learning to drive with someone else. Would greatly recommend. Not only is he an excellent instructor, but a kind hearted and loveable person. He worked incredibly well to melt away all my fears about driving and I cannot thank him enough. It was an absolute please to have been taught by him. THANK YOU ZAHID!!!!!.”

“Arkadiusz Krzysztof Kubicki - AA Driving School -Cardiff Would highly recommend Arkadiusz as a driving instructor- my son passed 1st time with only 2 minors after 6 lessons. Accommodating, calm and good knowledge of the system, highly recommended him.”

“The login portal stopped working after my son had had 2 lessons; to set up an account we needed to put in an email to which a verification code would be sent....except the code never arrived. We tried a couple of email addresses time and time again with no luck. Our driving instructor (lovely) could not do anything about login issues and we were directed to the aa online chatbot. This just said repeatedly that it didn't understand, couldn't help etc but did not transfer us to an actual human. I tried phoning a helpline number I found online but all the telephone services have been withdrawn. It seems the aa is fine if the online stuff is working but if there's a problem you have no support whatsoever.”

“A very big thank you to zahid from the AA driving school. I’d never had a lesson before so was naturally nervous and he understood. Over the course of around 40 lessons I passed with only 3 minors. A patient and knowledgeable instructor and would highly recommended. Cheers zahid 👍🏎️”

“If I could give zero stars, I would. AA Driving School is not fit for purpose—the quality of instructors is poor and unreliable. They pick and choose students and seem to misunderstand the very idea of teaching. I wouldn’t waste my time or money on them. Look elsewhere”
