"I was really pleased with Accelerate Driver Training. Pete, my instructor, is professional, friendly and truly knowledgeable - I felt totally at ease and overall happy at the quality of the instructing. I would definitely recommend Accelerate to any new drivers; they will aid you with the greatest experience and make you ready for the roads!"

- H Hancock

"I have currently had thirteen driving lessons with my instructor, Peter. After thirteen lessons Peter and I decided I was ready to take my practical driving test. Everything in the test went well until I got back to the test centre where I failed to perform a correct bay park, which gave me a fail although I had only three minor faults up to that point. Hopefully next time I won't make a mistake like this one again. I could not fault my lessons, they were structured and professional and we always had a laugh!"

- Sam Horsley

"Nick is an absolute professional. I was a very nervous learner, he had such a calming and supportive nature that made me feel at ease at all times. Nick boosted my confidence and taught me so well that I passed my first time! I would 100% recommend him!"

"I chose Accelerate from a variety of driving schools I'd found on the Internet and I'm really glad I did. I received great customer service, a fabulous instructor (Neil) and passed first time in January 2011! I have since recommended them to friends and colleagues who are currently taking lessons."

"I'd like recommend Accelerate Driving School to anyone wanting to learn to drive. My instructor Jon Bates has been teaching me for a few months and has really helped improve my confidence around driving. He's been patient, friendly and knowledgeable throughout all my lessons and I would recommend him and the driving school to anyone starting to learn or disappointed with their current instructor."

- Becky 23 Oct 2011

"Accelerate is the only driving school I would recommend, my instructor, Pete, was patient and understanding, and taught me the simplest safest way to do everything so that when it came time for the test I had formed good habits with the confidence and ability needed to succeed, teaching me in a manner even I could understand, look no further, you won’t regret it!"

- John Lewis 31st Oct 2011

"John is my instructor, he is very patient and calm, and funny, he keeps track of my driving progress and records it. I have had numerous lessons along long time ago with a different company and failed tests.. but I feel I have learnt so much more this time round with accelerate. I have now put in for my test in November and feel confident that I can do it this time round."

"Jon Bates is an exceptionally gifted teacher as well as a kind person. I have learning difficulties such as dyslexia. With this in mind my confidence is easily knocked. Jon is an extremely patient light hearted man who I’ve come to know quite well. You are very lucky to have him work for you at Accelerate. I have given his name to other people who would really enjoy being taught by him. Jon does not lose his temper or belittle the person he is teaching. I feel very lucky to have had him as an instructor and I’m very glad that I found Accelerate to teach me to drive as I don’t think I would have been able to succeed without Jon. I believe that he will make a lot of people happy and enjoy driving rather than being scared and nervous. I will go on to give his name to people who want to learn to drive. Thank you."
