More about automatic lessons ↗I had six EDT lessons with Derek Verso and passed the driving test on my first attempt. Derek was very helpful, kind and professional; he was always on time and was very understanding when I had to cancel a lesson in short notice. Derek has given me great tips to avoid the bad driving habits, he is a very positive person and it was very good to have him as my instructor. I recommend his services. Thanks Derek!
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
