I recently past my Driving Test first time round after learing to drive with Ian Craigie. I did not take to driving with much grace and it took me a long time to grasp but my pass was definately thanks to the help of Ian. Each lesson is is enjoyable with clear guidance and detailed explainations of all aspects of driving, not just how to pass a driving test. I would definatly recommend Ian Craigie to anyone.

Ian is an excellent instructor: patient but also encouraging you to get out of your comfort zone and make the most of your time during lessons. He takes each pupil individually and is quick to usefully assess your strengths and weaknesses. I would recommend him to anyone.

Ian is a great teacher - he has a thoroughly no-nonsense approach, and will slowly bring you round to the view that manoeuvres, emergency stops and roundabouts are all a piece of cake if you just do as he says.

He is also calm, patient and, crucially, has a wicked sense of humour.

I would highly recommend Ian to anyone who wants driving lessons that they can actually look forward to - he is a gem.

I passed my driving test first time this morning, and think that, had I used a different insructor, this would not have been the case. I had previously had 2 different instructors before Ian, and neither had the patience nor knowledge that Ian has. He really is an excellent instructor, and is very patient, which he had to be with all the moaning I did on my lessons! I am very grateful to Ian for getting me through my test.

Ian was both a great driving instructor but also made lessons fun and enjoyable. I would recomend Ian too any person who wants to pass there test both quickly and with the skills they require to drive safely on the roads. I passed with 3 minors first time and feel Ian (and my skill) played a large part in my passing. I hope him and his dirving the best in the future.
