Thanks to the professional guidance of Ahsan Lagari at Ahmed Driving School, I was able to pass my UK driving test on the first attempt. Mr. Lagari’s patient and methodical teaching style made each lesson clear and productive. His calm and encouraging approach gave me the confidence I needed behind the wheel. I highly recommend Ahmed Driving School for anyone preparing for their driving test.

I had an amazing experience learning automatic with Zia Ahmed, I had over 50 hours of lessons with him and he was always really reassuring and gives you a scope of absolutely everything you might expect on the practical test and beyond that. Super professional and would reccomend! Zia focused on teaching the fundamentals first and foremost, and then helped me develop a lot with more complex road situations which meant I could tackle new roads really well. Always really clear, great explanations and had multiple hours of motorway experience. Even though that driving is not in the test, he made sure I learned and understood all road situations and I really did have a lot of confidence by the end. I've just passed my test first time with 5 minors and I can easily say its thanks to the skills he taught me!

Amnah Zafar is not just an instructor to me, but I consider her also as a friend, a sister or even a mother. I was a first timer driver with no knowledge at all, but with Amnah, I feel so safe and confident at driving. I can rate her 10/10. She was not just an excellent but a perfect instructor for me. She was very nice, calm, patient, and able to boost my confidence. She knows how to ackowledge my improvements at driving and correct my mistakes in a good manner. I will definitely recommend her with all my friends to be their instructor as I am very proud to be one of her student. I can say that my skills and knowledge of driving improves very well and easily because of Amnah. I am always excited to have my driving lesson with her. Thank you very much Amnah Zafar.Moreexpand_more

I cannot recommend Zia highly enough as a driving instructor. From the very first lesson, he was calm, professional, and incredibly supportive. He always explained everything clearly and made sure I understood not just how to pass the test, but how to be a confident and safe driver in everyday situations. Zia was patient, never made me feel nervous, and gave me the confidence I needed behind the wheel. He knew exactly how to prepare me for the UK driving test, covering all the key skills and helping me correct mistakes without ever making me feel bad about them.

Zia Ahmed is honestly an amazing driving instructor and I can’t recommend him enough. He is always punctual, patient and honest. His ability to explain the driving concepts is so clear and the tips and tricks really helped me to be confident. Thank you Zia Ahmed for all your hard-work, encouraging me when I made mistakes and most of all believing in me. I am going to miss you.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my driving instructor, Shorof. Thanks to his professionalism, patience, and personalized approach, I was finally able to master the technique of driving and feel confident behind the wheel. Just a few weeks before my driving test, he helped me refine my skills and gain the confidence I needed. What I especially appreciate is how supportive and encouraging Sharif was before the exam. He not only provided practical guidance but also helped me stay positive and calm, which made a big difference in passing my test successfully. I’m truly thankful for his dedication and support. I wish him continued success and prosperity in his career. He is a true professional and a great instructor! .

Had Temor as my instructor. Brilliantly knowledgable and really relaxed which helped me as a nervous driver. Having started again after using another company I can’t recommend Ahmed Driving School and Temor enough.

Had Temor as my instructor and just passed my driving test recently at at Maybush. I learnt a lot with Temor as he explained things very clearly and was able to achieve a lot during lessons as they were well structured, meaning I was well prepared for my test. He has a good range of techniques for different manoeuvres making them simple to do, and his knowledge as an instructor was very important in understanding how to navigate the test. He was also very understanding and personable which I found very helpful. Overall, I had an excellent time with him as my instructor and would recommend him to anyone.

Ahsan Laghari from Ahmed Driving was a fantastic instructor and his calm yet efficient teaching was crucial to me being able to pass first time. From my first lesson to the final mock test Ahsan gave very clear instructions and analysis on what was required of me to be a safe driver and pass. I highly recommend Ahsan no matter what stage of learning you are at!

I completed 20 hours of lessons with Ahsan Laghari, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I passed my driving test on the first attempt with only 4 minors. Ahsan's thorough preparation made all the difference; he explained everything in detail about what to expect on the day of the test and the various components involved. We also did multiple mock tests, which were incredibly helpful for building my confidence and removing my faults. Ahsan's patience and clear teaching style made learning to drive enjoyable and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor!

I had a really positive experience with Shrof Ahmed at Ahmed Driving School. He was patient, professional, and made sure to explain everything clearly. Each lesson was well-structured, and he took the time to help me build confidence on the road. He was also very understanding when I needed extra practice in certain areas. I felt well-prepared for my driving test, and I’m really grateful for his support throughout the process. I highly recommend Ahmed Driving School to anyone looking to learn to drive – his teaching style is fantastic and very effective.

? Highly Recommended! I had an amazing experience with Ahsan from Ahmed Driving School! My previous instructor told me I wouldn’t be able to get my license and suggested taking many more classes. Thankfully, I switched to Ahsan, and in just 3 to 4 lessons, I passed my test and got my license! Ahsan was incredibly helpful, patient, and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. His teaching style is clear and effective, and he truly cares about his students' success. I highly recommend Ahsan and Ahmed Driving School to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor. Thank you, Ahsan, for all your help!

I had an absolute blast learning with Darren! He made me feel at ease so I could concentrate on driving! I would recommend for anyone who wants to nail their test! It's been a long old road for me learning to drive and Darren knew how to push me in the best way. A very knowledgeable, kind, funny guy!
