Disgusting Terrible Service
Horrible, disgusting experience! Avoid at all costs! I had 8 lessons left after passing my test. I asked for a refund straight after. My instructor advised me not to get a refund as i could do motorway lessons. He advised me to contact him ‘any time’ to arrange these. He did not honour these, they are misleading and wanted to keep the money. No refund was given by the company either. do not trust this company.

First Time Pass !
I started my lessons with little experience, and within just a few months i was ready for my test and passed first time with only 3 minors! I couldn’t thank him enough for how patient and calm he was while teaching me to drive. He made things very clear and understandable and built my confidence no end! Amazing instructor that i couldn’t recommend more :)

Do Not Book With Acclaim
Was having driving lessons with acclaim for last 18mths, booked in for a 5 day intensive course, mon-Friday with test being on Friday, was doing intensive with same instructor as my lessons, on the 4th day of intensive told me I need more lessons( but have had over 70hrs already) and that HE was cancelling my test, so lost test fees which I wasnt informed off immediately, was mis lead into thinking it could be moved back, (that’s how my instructor said it) had no control over anything even if I wanted to take my test acclaim wouldn’t allow it, bear in mind I was having lessons for 18mth so my instructor knew my ability it’s just a cop out as a way to make you spend more money and keep there books full, don’t book with acclaim, they will keep saying your not ready to keep you paying for more lessons, also was told I had low self confidence time and time again by my instructor even though I’ve never suffered with low confidence, reason being maybe is because he wasn’t building it with my driving, and because it was put into my head over and over I started actually believing it, proper professional driving instructors boost your confidence not put it down

Best Experience
I did my driving with an instructor who was extremely patient and understanding and made me feel extremely comfortable during my lessons. She is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend her to other !!

Do Not Use This Company!
This company is awful. I paid for the 10 hour bundle but did 7 hours or less. The instructor I got put with arrived 10 minutes late for every lesson and was very aggressive and unhelpful every time I made a mistake. On one instance I asked him if I was able to reschedule a lesson, I was told it would be fine and I wouldn't get charged, 3 days later £40 of credit is gone from my account. I tried to appeal to acclaim even presenting evidence (a screenshot of the texts saying I won't be charged) and was told I would not be able to get my money back.
My final lesson with my instructor I hit the curb with his car trying to park and he becomes aggressive again by the end of the ordeal I was told "if I wasn't your instructor I would have put hands on you by now". The lesson ended earlier than the 2 hour session promised (and charged). when I tried appealing for a refund I was told its not possible as the instructor reported the lesson ended due to unsafe driving conditions inside the car.
Overall I am very upset with my experience, and I would not recommend this company to any new or inexperienced drivers.

Worst Experience!!
The instructor was horrible, she would always pick me up late and drop me off early. Always shout at me when I make a mistake, would eat her smelly lunch while I'm driving, play music in the car, use her mobile and answer phone calls.
I do not recommend her at all!! Didn't get anywhere with her.

The Worst Ever
I booked a block of ten, the so called instructor gave me an hour in busy roads with a very negative attitude, I was dropped off early and the instructor said the school will be informed that I still have eight hours and a half. When I asked the school for a refund they claimed that they have no contact with the instructor because she is self employed. I had a long dispute till I agreed to be refunded for 8 hours only, no rights, no commitment not good at all the worst school with the worst instructors.

Safe Driving For Life
I passed my test today 1st time, and its all thanks to my driving instructor, im not the easiest of people some times but the man was always there to calm me down with his great tips and his knowledge of driving , even when I wasn't on my test I was always able to contact him with any questions or advice.iv already had family and friends ask for his number,so all in all a great experience and my little girls are over the moon, and its all thanks to this man, cheers
Seemed Like He Had Other Things On Mind
Always turned up, finished early everytime,seemed preoccupied with other things, asked to do a lot of things on road I did not feel comfortable with and overall not a good teacher, seemed very volatile.
When cancelled my remaining few hours because I did not wish to get back in the car I was charged and did not get a penny back.
