Academy Intensive - Kings Lynn

Having done a fair few hours pre-Covid elsewhere but never managed to book a test before my theory expired, I did a 5-day intensive course last month, and passed at the end of the course! He was very professional and approachable throughout the course. He gave clear explanations, allowed ample time for practise and repetition to go over problem areas, and the course was overall very well paced. I'm very pleased with the outcome and unexpectedly the process was fun! I booked the course with accommodation and he took care of arranging the b&b (which was really comfortable), along with booking the driving test, picking up and dropping off at the station etc. He has clearly put a lot of effort to improve and streamline this course and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an efficient and stress-free way to pass.

Quick and easy to book, clear instructions on where to meet for starters!

Instruction was fantastic, I thought my old instructor was good but not a patch on Academy - learning was enjoyable and Kings Lynn is much better to drive around as a result the test was easy! Passed first time!

Don't take 6 months to drive go to this company and you can do it in 6 days (well 8 if you have never driven before)

Thank you academy

I couldn't have been better prepared for my test - and passed first time - thanks to Pete and his team.

Although I was nervous at first - and at 34 not sure how quickly I would learn and how coordinated I could be - Pete made the lessons easy and explained the techniques and skills clearly and patiently. Everything was thoroughly planned and prepared and driving quickly became much more enjoyable than I had expected.

I would thoroughly recommend the intensive course and achieved in a week something that had taken me more than ten years to get around to. Thank you!

My driving licence arrived through the post yesterday - A full pink licence, not the green one I had for nearly 2 years!! I had been learning to drive for nearly 18 months and my lessons were really irregular due to my busy lifestyle. I could see it dragging on for a long time and once I found out I was pregnant I decided that once and for all I needed to pass. I was very dubious of intensive driving courses, seeing many horror stories on the web but they seemed my only hope

After hours of searching I decided on Academy driving school. It had fab reviews, was based in a nice quiet town and was an environment in which I could 100% focus on driving. My instructor was the absolutely lovely Pete and I couldn't have asked for a nicer guy to spend an intense 25 hours with. He was endlessly patient and explained everything in really simple clear terms using lots of examples to solidify the message.

After some horrendous mock tests with Pete and another with Simon as you may have guessed I passed, first time!! But, even if I hadn't passed I would highly recommend this course as I learned so much and really polished up my driving to the extent that just a few days after I passed I drove 150 miles on motorways and country roads. I would recommend this course to those who had already driven a bit as I think when you learn the basics having lots of time for things to sink in is important. But once you can control a car intensive driving can polish you up for your test.

Thank you Pete and I promise I will drive a little bit faster :)

After struggling with learning to drive for nearly three years, I decided that an intensive course would be worth a try. I chose Academy because of the excellent online reviews and its proximity to my university. It was definitely the right one!

My instructor was excellent. Despite me having had quite a break from driving, he was very patient and encouraging, but also very effective at teaching for the driving test - we ran through all possible aspects of the test, the test routes, and I had some mock tests as well. All very useful.

The accommodation was very good, and the whole experience was definitely the best way to learn to drive. I am very satisfied with my pass, and would recommend Academy Driving School to anyone looking for an intensive driving course.

I learnt to drive with Mark Large and found him friendly and patient. He is a great instructor and I found the whole experience very rewarding. I got on really well with Mark, it felt like an old friend sitting next to me. I did an 18 hour intensive over the course of a week as I had previous driving experience. As a resident of King's Lynn I didn't use the accomodation.

I was very worried when I booked the course, not because of this company as booking was easy, but after I had booked I then heard that these courses are not very good!

As soon as I met my instructor it was a different story, I was meet exactly as arranged and was immediately put at ease. We went off to a very quiet area where I was allowed to get used to the car (it was perfect for learning to drive) then I was corrected on the mistakes I was making. With my previous instructor this was destructive but with this company it was always constructive and my confidence just grew and grew!

If I had failed I would still have recommended this company but I passed with ease and cannot understand why I had heard that intensive courses are not very good, I can only assume that they did not go to this company.

My thanks to all connected with Academy and will be sending my friends there very soon.
