I used the RSA school of motoring to get my pretest done and use the car for the day of the test. The instructor Alan was a great help, very knowledgeable and he offered good insights which made the test overall much easier. I had failed my test 3 times before this and with Alan's guidance I was able to pass this time round! The car was clean, full of fuel and easy to drive. Very glad with the service

After having completed my EDT lessons over an extended period of time I was quite nervous prior to the test but following 3 pre tests with Derek Verso I passed with flying colors. I couldn’t recommend Derek highly enough, an excellent teacher and a nice bloke too.
