Zahir was a top tier instructor who got me test ready in 4 days. He was always on time, provided brilliant value and instruction. One Week Driving Course was easy to book, kept me in the loop and was able to find a driving test at a good time, in roughly the right area. I passed my test in Worcester with 4 minors, all thanks to Zahir and OWDC.
I did the 1 week intensive course, however as my test was on the Thursday the week after, my instructor offered to split the lessons over 2 weeks. This turned out to be much better as it's honestly more intensive than you expect driving hours everyday whilst learning. My instructor, Adam Iles, was great. Extremely professional, gave detailed explanations and structured the lessons so that there was clear and steady progression.
My employer booked this for me as part of our training scheme and the process was very straightforward; email correspondance with both OneWeekDrivingCourse and my instructor from the beginning helped to extablish when my course would start and soon after where and when both my practical and theory tests would be. My Instructor was very knowledgable and patient, allowing me to learn in my own time but well within the constraints of the course, best preparing me for the test. Intensive was definitely the way to go as it allowed a lot of driving experience in a short space of time, I was honestly quite bored of driving by around day 3 as we had pretty much learned everything by then!
Booking my test was very easy and straight forward. My instructor (Alan Melton) got in contact the Wednesday before and a few days later confirmed my test. He was very calm and suited my methods of learning, ensuring I was comfortable and felt relaxed the entirety of the course, resulting in feeling confident for my test. I felt the intensive course was very effective for my style of learning. I have recommended this course to my friends, who are starting to book.
I booked the intensive driving course for my Grandson Adam. The booking and payments were easy and the confirmation of the start date given straight away. Adams test was booked very quickly at the end of his week, so he didn't have long to wait. Unfortunately Adam made a mistake involving a bus lane, so failed the first time. One Week Driving Course managed to get him booked in just a few weeks later for a re-test, which they paid for. He passed this time and was over the moon. The instructor Sayed Chowdhury was very proficient, he had a way of calming Adams nerves and teaching him everything he needed to know in the limited time he had (36 hours then 6 hours of actual driving time) and was extremely good in moving other things around in order he could take Adam for his re-test, despite only having a weeks notice! Both of my daughters have also previously done the intensive courses (but in Blackpool) and I would certainly recommend this way of learning rather than the weekly sessions some people take and then they have to wait for months and months for their test! I also recommend OneWeekDrivingCourse and in particular Mr Sayed Chowdhury if you are anywhere near Letchworth.Moreexpand_more
Genuinely a great course to go on if you're looking to get your license done in a short space of time, but always worth making sure you book the right hours to reflect the amount of experience you already have. I booked onto a 30hr course because I had a good amount of prior experience but needed lessons to tidy up bad habits, maneuvers and to learn the test routes for the area my test was booked, that said, it was a lot to cram in to 30hrs so anyone that doesn't have any/much experience will want to book a course with more hours - that's not reflective of the company, just an easy mistake to make when looking at these courses. The service from the office team was great, given the state of test backlogs at the moment they were still able to get me booked in for a test locally to me but it did at one stage feel up to the wire, that's no fault of the team. Communication throughout was on point and they made sure that both the driving instructor and I were informed of what was happening. The instructor Zahir was honestly fantastic, he's really knowledgeable and knew what needed to be done to get me at the point where I was test ready, all while teaching in a really relaxed way that made sure it didn't feel like there was a lot of pressure or that anything was being rushed. I learned a lot from him in the time we had in our course and can honestly say that anyone who gets booked with him in the future will be getting a good'un! Would absolutely recommend to anyone to book with these guys.
At first, I was sceptical that this process would actually work out (being wary for scams and such), but my experience with this company has been nothing but smooth sailing. All the booking process was catered to my availability. Also, having done 10 lessons about 7 months before this course, I found that I did not enjoy driving that much due to a bad experience with a previous driving instructor. However, my new driving instructor rekindled my lost ambition for driving. He spent every second of my 24 hour course focusing and giving pointers to benefit my driving. Due to this I managed to pass with no faults and during the test I felt fully prepared and confident. I would definitely recommend this to others as my experience has been perfect.
Amazing service, was assigned an instructor straight away, and a test shortly after. My instructor was so calm in his approach which really helped me and put any nerves at ease. He spent a lot of time perfecting my parallel park with me, which I then nailed on test day. I couldn’t recommend Danny, or this service more. Thank you for helping me pass my test!
I had been learning to drive for roughly 6 years prior to doing a course, various things got in the way which prevented me from doing lessons consistently. I was fortunate enough to be able to book a course and learn everything I needed through this course and managed to pass first time with only 2 minors! Keith is a very patient instructor and increased my confidence massively, whilst also testing my knowledge. Keith also pushed me to be able to drive on a motorway which is something that scared me to death with not liking wagons, Keith is an amazing instructor! . I would highly recommend to anyone doing a intensive course rather than a weekly lesson as you learn so much more. Thank you so much for helping me pass first time and for pushing me to achieve it! Outstanding course to use and do!
Booking for the intensive course was easy. I was lucky and pleased to get the week I really needed as I was very restricted about the dates I could do with my job. If you could be more flexible with your dates it would be even easier Iland you do get plenty of warning on the dates you're offered. One week booked my test for me at the end if the same week as the course so I didn't have to do anything further myself. So that was easy too. They found my an instructor so again I didn't have to look for this myself. My instructor Danny was great and got in touch early just to find out what hours I would like to do and to suggest some. This was helpful. Then I got in touch with Danny nearer the time to ask for details as to how to pay the balance. He was happy for me to pay this even up to the day of the course. Danny was a great instructor and was very calm and helpful. Whil he did have a plan as to how we would do the course, he was more than happy for me to suggest what I wanted to focus on or what I felt I needed to revisit and I felt comfortable in making suggestions. Danny's calmness helped me keep calm too. He came up with strategies for things that I struggled most with, which for me was mainly some of the manoeuvres. He was very down to earth. I chose an intensive course as I have found in the past that doing standard lessons I tended to forget some of what I had learnt from lesson to lesson and it also dragged on for so long! It was good to get this all finished off and sorted in one week. It is a lot, driving for so long over just a few days, but if course you can stop and pause here and there, and for me it got the job done. Well done Danny and OWDC, well done me!Moreexpand_more
