"Enjoyable 'learn to drive' journey "

I would highly recommend A1 driving academy to anyone wanting to learn how to drive safe and quickly. Very professional approach from the day one. I was so lucky to be assigned to Atif who was very patient and made my 'learn to drive' experience beyond enjoyable and easy. On every lesson Atif was very professional,always on time and always planned ahead which meant I waisted no time. Very thankful to A1 academy and my instructor Atif for helping me get my UK licence.

"First-time PASS with Manny Usman!"

I still can't believe it I passed my driving test this morning! What's amazing is Manny had another learner before my test today and he passed too! This clearly shows how good of an instructor Manny is! 💯🔥⭐
Can't recommend him enough, I would also recommend his driving lesson videos. It was so much helpful, I watched them again and again till the day before my test. When the driving examiner gave me instructions to go to A6 bridge at the roundabout..I did it so confidently..the whole time I had Manny's video and lessons on my mind! I was also asked to do reverse on the right manuvour, it was perfect.. without Manny's calm guidance it wouldn't have been possible!
I am excited to being able to drive to my work! 😇🚗 -Sumiya

"Brilliant instructor."

I can't thank A1 and Harbir enough for helping me to get my licence. Harbir was very patient, always calm, and helped me so much that when I did take my test, I passed with 0 faults. Which was something I never could imagine doing when I first started my lessons. For anyone looking for a driving instructor I highly recommend A1 and their instructor Harbir.

"Can't thank Kam enough for getting me…"

Can't thank Kam enough for getting me through my driving test, passed first time with one minor thanks to his teaching. Highly recommended and thanks again Kam.

"First-Time Pass with Rav"

If you are looking for a driving school, A1 Driving Academy is the one to choose. If you want an instructor, I can't recommend Rav highly enough! Thanks to his expert guidance and patience, I passed my driving test on the first attempt — something I never thought possible when I started lessons.

From day one, Rav created a calm and supportive learning environment, explaining everything in simple, easy-to-understand terms. When I made mistakes, Rav remained patient and encouraging.

If you're looking for a driving instructor in Derby who can turn a nervous beginner into a confident driver, look no further than Rav. I’m incredibly grateful for his expertise and can't thank him enough for helping me achieve my goal of passing on the first try. Five stars all the way!

""Outstanding Driving Instructor: Muazzam Tariq Helped Me Pass on My First Attempt!""

When I first started, I had absolutely zero knowledge of driving and was extremely nervous about getting behind the wheel. However, from the very first lesson, Muazzam’s calm and patient demeanor put me at ease. He has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps, and his teaching method was tailored perfectly to my needs.

Muazzam’s dedication to my success was evident in every lesson. He not only taught me how to drive but also helped build my confidence, ensuring I was fully prepared for every aspect of the driving test. His focus on safety, attention to detail, and expert knowledge meant I felt more than ready when the day of the test arrived.

Thanks to his exceptional teaching, I passed my driving test on the first attempt, which felt like a massive accomplishment given where I started. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is not only professional but also incredibly supportive and skilled, I highly recommend Muazzam Tariq. You won’t find anyone better to help you become a confident, capable driver!

"Thank you Muazzam"

Muazzam was a great instructor, helped me pass 1st time with 2 minors. Went to him after not feeling supported by previous instructors and he has always been supportive from the beginning. Always been very encouraging and explains faults well and been so reassuring during lessons when I struggle. Could not recommend him enough. Thank you Muazzam!!
