We're so confident that you'll love our driving lessons that we're prepared to offer a 100% money back guarantee should you feel that we have not lived up to your expectations with either the service we offer or the quality of the tuition.

You'll find our local customer reviews and test passes on our Facebook page and See exactly why other learner drivers decided to trust Go2 Driving School in Derby as their training provider.
We've built a solid reputation for excellent customer service in conjunction with delivering excellent driving test pass results. All of our driving lessons are structured with a firm objective of what is to be achieved during the session. Once we have established the learning topic(s) we then discuss and set a plan with the pupil to achieve maximum learning during the driving lesson.

Unfortunately the standard of driving tuition and service throughout the industry is not as high as it should be, and for this reason the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency (the body who conduct your driving test and those that are responsible for overseeing the industry) have introduced the "standards check" that all driving instructors must undertake periodically.

This means that driving instructors will have to complete extra training to maintain or improve standards.

At Go2 Driving School we take continued professional development very seriously and keep up to date with all of the latest teaching practices, principles and techniques.

I enjoyed every lesson with Rich, he was very friendly and patient and I would highly recommend him.

I came across Go2 Driving School whilst doing online research and seeking for that progress and information I was not getting from my previous instructor. The fact that their prices are a little higher than other schools, put me off at first, but believe me, you will end up saving in the long term, as their methods are so effective, that you will surely need a lot less time to be test ready! Could not recommend my instructor Michael Excell enough, he is knowledgeable, professional and extremely patient. He helped me overcome my fear for speed and prepared me for possible situations I may encounter on my own. Along with the online resources and support group, I would say Go2 has everything you need in a Driving School and should be considered as the best option there is in the area.
Response : Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Monica. We are very happy that you had a happy experience with Go2 Driving school.

As there are so many driving instructors out there it is hard to choose. However, choosing Go2 Driving School is worth every penny. I was looking for positive reviews and pass rates and I thought that Go2 Driving School was very professionally constructed, by my first lesson I knew that it was just that. Matt made it very easy and simple to book lessons or very quick to let me know with slots that were free. When I first went out to do my lesson I found it quite daunting and that I was nervous about taking control of the car but Matt made it from something so complicated in my mind to something simple and became more relaxed and less stressful throughout my lessons. The teaching methods were clear and easy to understand and if I didn't quite understand something he'd happily go through it with me until I was confident about it. This along with Matt's confidence in me made me drive with more confidence and more safely. I would defiantly recommend Go2 Driving School to any new learner as his sessions are always so thorough and always puts safety first. I feel so prepared to go out and start to drive by myself, I couldn't be anymore impressed by Go2 Driving School.Moreexpand_more

I had wasted time with unreliable driving instructors in the past, not getting very far, so the main thing I was looking for in a new instructor was someone with a solid reputation. A read through some of Go2's reviews was enough to reassure me of this. The fact that they are priced slightly above most schools is reassuring because as with most things you get what you pay for and I can honestly say that this is the case with Go2 (buy cheap, pay twice! ) Learning to drive is now progressing much faster for me and I never feel any time is wasted. Matt's teaching methods are that bit different as he teaches you to understand the reasons behind different processes rather than just giving you rules to memorise. Lessons are tailored to suit your needs and Matt will be always be careful to give the right amount of instruction whether it be small prompts, full instruction or a demonstration. It makes such a difference in progressing that bit faster as it all feels much more natural and the lessons are never boring, 2 hours seem to fly by! I'd definitely recommend anyone looking for an instructor in Derby to contact Matt at Go2 as I think the teaching methods and quality of service will be extremely hard to find elsewhere!

I only had 5 weeks to go until my test when I contacted Matt. My previous instructor had destroyed my confidence and I almost gave up wanting to drive. I needed a new driving instructor and I wanted someone that would reinstate my confidence and get me through my test. Well I certainly found this with Matt. From the initial phone call arranging lessons he had already put me at ease. His teaching technique is second to none, he knew how to get the best out of me and explained things clearly and effectively. You do pay a little more for his lessons but he is worth every penny. I definately reccomend go2 driving school, I wouldnt send anyone anywhere else!

When choosing a driving school the most important thing for me was finding an instructor who customised the training to my specific needs, which is exactly what I receive at Go2. Matt has been flexible with lesson times as well which is a real help when my free time is limited. So far the whole process has been made really easy for me, with clear instruction and any questions answered straight away. Nothing seems rushed or like I'm under too much pressure so it's a great learning environment to be in. I think the methods used have helped me make progress quicker than expected and I know at the end of each lesson what I need to work on next lesson. I would definitely recommend Go2 to everyone :).

When looking for driving lessons I was looking for a school that looked the most professional, had a high pass rate and good customer reviews for proof of reliability. Go2 Driving school ticked all of those boxes. Before I came to Go2 I was at a previous driving school that I wasn't happy with due to the service I was receiving. I only had about 5 weeks to go until my test date so I was under pressure, after a short easy phone call to Matt he had me set up for lessons within a couple of days to begin my final lessons. Even after 40+ hours with other driving instructors I found that I was still learning with Matt, he was covering things previous instructors hadn't actually covered with me. It has given me more confidence and made me feel even safer on the roads. He won't ever just tell you something, he will always explain why or give you a reason so that you completely understand the reasons for certain things. You do pay a little bit extra than most other driving schools, but what you pay for is what you get. The quality of service I have received has been great and I'd much rather pay that tiny bit extra for much better quality teaching with a really high pass rate, than pay less to receive satisfactory lessons and less understandings of the car and the roads. I'd highly recommend Go2 as the driving school to go to.Moreexpand_more

Matt is a great driving instructor with the ability to focus on problem areas and inprove them; inproving my skills beyond just passing my test and good, easy to understand, communication. He gives lots of feed back, has extensive experience and is a good teacher who will work well with anyone.
Clinton Pickering

When choosing a driving school I was looking for a high pass rate, positive customer reviews and a overall professionally constructed driving school. Go2 Driving proved to be just that and after a short phone call to Matt I was very pleased to hear that he was very flexible with booking times which was a massive help as I was working a lot of hours at the time. I thought learning to drive would be a challenge, but with Go2 driving it was a breeze. The teaching methods were very easy to understand and remember. This along with Matt's patience and confidence in me meant I was driving confidently and safely in no time! The tuition vehicle was always kept clean and the heated seats made lessons very comfortable during the cold evenings. I couldn't be any more impressed with my time at Go2 Driving School and would definitely encourage anyone looking to start their lessons to contact Go2 Driving School.

Great driving instructor! When looking for a Driving Instructor/School the most important aspect for me first was credibility. Also I was looking for someone who was a great teacher, positive reviews, availability and reasonable prices. I expected learning to drive to be a lot harder than I thought, daunting and tiring. After searching online for weeks to find one of them cheapest so-called quick pass driving schools/crash courses I noticed lots of poors reviews and was warned to stay clear. I made the best choice! I gave up then instead I decided to start looking for a real driving school that had consistent positive reviews, a great teacher/instructor and prices that reflected that, which led me here to Matt at Go2 Driving School and I'm honestly glad it did. I've found Matt at Go2 Driving School to be a really great teacher, easy to get along with, knowledgeable and an instructor who takes pride in doing his best to teach. He makes sure you've understood what your learning till your confident and explains in depth how to correct your mistakes but doesn't make you feel stupid for doing so. He allows you to learn at your own pace. The lessons are enjoyable, great atmosphere and no pressure which is great because I'm not in a rush to be a rubbish driver!I definitely recommend!If you want to learn to drive and are looking for a great teacher contact (Matt) Go2 Driving School Rich from Derbyshire.Moreexpand_more

Just passed my test first time yesterday with go2 driving school. I'm not surprised. Matt, my instructor is really friendly and encourages you to get on and make some real progress. With lessons at £28 per hour with two hour slots the price is a little more then other companies or instructors but I believe in this case you get what you pay for. With Matt not only steering you to pass your test but teaching you all the techniques to drive safely which can't be said with companies by the name of fast-pass which implies unsafe perilous teaching to get you to pass as fast as possible with no real safety involved.

When looking for a new driving school, one of the main factors was finding a driving instructor that didn’t shout over every little mistake. One of the things that Matt said was, “don’t ever feel that a question is too stupid”. This was a relief for me because previous instructors appeared to get annoyed if I asked them the same question more than once. I needed a driving instructor that I could feel comfortable with and at Go2 Driving School Matt was very calm and relaxed. Even if you find yourself panicking, he always remains calm and you don’t need to worry about making big mistakes because even before you realized you was about to make the mistake Matt has already picked it up which is good because you will never be in any danger. I thought that I was unteachable as I had, had so many driving lessons with so many driving instructors (six to be exact). I thought that it would take me ages to adapt to another driving instructor, but this wasn’t the case, Matt adapts lessons to suit you. Matt also lets you use your initiative, which is a really good because I found myself becoming very reliant on other driving instructors and when it came to my test I felt lost because I wasn’t allowed to use my own instincts and became very comfortable with being told what to do. Sometimes with other instructors I found myself getting really confused when I was bombarded with loads of information, but when Matt needs to tell you something he will tell you one thing at a time or wait until you have stopped in a safe and convenient place and then he will explain what you have done wrong. First Matt diagnosis the problem, then he tells you how to fix the problem; during this process Matt will include lots of knowledgeable information, then he will show you how to fix the problem using a variety of different techniques such as demonstrations, diagrams, instructions and explanations. Matt uses a wide range of teaching methods to suit you and if you are not comfortable with one method he will try another until you fully understand what to do. I would Definitely recommend Go2 driving school to others! Matt is very professional and pays a lot of attention to detail, the atmosphere is relaxed, which is crucial for a successful learning process. Matt tailors his service to you as an individual giving you many options to choose from, creating a bespoke service. At the beginning of every lesson you will have a recap on what you did in the previous lesson and on what you will be doing in your current lesson. At the end of the lesson you will have a plan of action, this includes a discussion of your strengths, the things that you need to improve on and targets for the next lesson. Matt is the best out of all six driving instructors, I have had! This is what I call a real driving school, it’s not just any old driving school, but it’s a school that teaches you how to drive safely, it’s a school that gives you up to date knowledge and it’s a driving school you can trust. I hope that Go2 Driving School becomes very successful as Matt puts in a lot of effort! I would definitely nominate Go2 Driving School as the best driving school in Derby.Moreexpand_more

I have currently had 6 hours of lessons with Matthew of go2 driving school, after having 34 hours with a different instructor whom I found to be unprofessional I made contact with matt and arranged a time for a lesson where we could see what I needed to do as my test was already booked, so far I have found him to be extremely friendly whilst being professional at the same time, he is clearly experienced and definitely knows his stuff! He is extremely patient and knowledgeable, he is so helpful and has many diagrams, handouts and other visual aids to help with the understanding, he is also more than happy to do demonstrations (as many as you want), he never shouts or loses his patients which is what I needed! Also, he has just had a new car which is lovely to drive :) overall a 10/10 instructor and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Since moving to Go2 driving school I feel so much more confident about my upcoming test!

I have just passed my driving test, first time and with only 2 minors. This is entirely down to the excellent tuition I received from Matthew. I have had three other instructors in the past, which were all bad experiences and meant I made very little progress and lost confidence as a result. The service I received from Go2 Driving School was completely different. From the outset all lessons were well structured and had a clear focus. I was given clear feedback on how to improve my driving and my confidence returned. I was well prepared for my practical test, through mock tests and lots of experience of driving along different tests routes, which both helped me to feel more comfortable on the day, as there were no surprises. I cannot recommend Go2 Driving school enough, you will not be disappointed!

If your reading this please go for this driving school has a brilliant reputation. From my experience personally I failed my test twice before deciding I needed to switch and I never looked back since my instructor was fantastic he was patient and made all the tricky parts I thought about driving seem so easy. Just to give you an idea of how good he is I failed my second test with 10 minors and 4 major faults I have now today passed my driving test with 3 minor driving faults. He is always on time to lessons and gives fantastic and constructive feedback on what parts of your driving to include. He also gives you the choice of what you would want to do on your lessons especially giving you full demonstrations on manovers that you might struggle with for example he spent a lot of time going over the parraell park and bay park with me. This really really helped me as the bay park came up on my test and I nailed it. Thank you again matt I can now drive on my own and be a safe but confident driver.

"A driving school that had a good reputation and customer feedback was important for me when choosing. My driving instructor was very good and made me feel safe. He had very good teaching methods and most importantly was patient with me! I was very satisfied with my experience and found everything to be really good and would recommend G2 Driving School to others due to the service I received".
