I would like to say a massive thank you to Mandy Kerr for helping me pass my driving test today. An outstanding instructor, calm and patient she always made me feel at ease and knew when I was ready to take my test. Anyone looking to learn how to drive in an automatic, I would highly recommend Mandy. I can’t thank her enough.

Russell was a fantastic instructor. I had failed twice before I came to Russell. He got me to test standard in a matter of weeks and feel exceptionally confident on the road. My new driving license will allow me to get a much better job than I have now so my career can go from strength to strength. For that reason I am eternally grateful to Russell for his efforts, and recommend him in the highest possible regard to any future students. Great car to learn in as well. I wish him and his family all the very best for the future. 👍

I passed with Sue two days ago. After 3 different instructors, she finally gave me enough self confidence to pass. Always arrives with a story that relaxes you and is dedicated to her students. Thankyou sue!

I undertook a 25 hour intensive course with Simon Anson of BDS, spread over 5 consecutive days with a practical test at the end, which I passed. I had had previous driving experience many years ago. Confidence issues had stopped me from taking the test back then, but Simon got me back up to speed immediately and by the end he had developed my confidence immeasurably. Simon's teaching style of practice makes perfect, anticipating the road and hazards ahead, and staying cool when things go wrong was the supportive environment I needed to flourish at driving. By the end of the week I was so confident that driving felt like second nature. I could not recommend BDS highly enough if you are looking at an intensive course as my experience was second to none. Huge thanks to Simon, but also to Donna, who took the time to listen to my situation at first point of contact. Pass or fail, BDS will look after you.

Russel at BDS has helped both of my sons pass their driving tests, my first son was let down by his pervious instructor from another company just one month before his test and Russel stepped in and helped him past with just 2 DF’s .. He then went on to teach my second son who had just turned 17 and was desperate to learn, 8 weeks later he passed with just 4 DF’s. Thank you Russel for the extra time and commitment you gave to both my sons you are a brilliant instructor, very calm and gave clear instructions.

Over the moon to have passed my test earlier in the week. I’d like to thank BDS Driving school and in particular my excellent instructor liz who I now regard as my friend. Liz is fantastic very patient and her experience and knowledge and calming influence were major factors in getting me to pass. Once again heartfelt thanks to BDS and the wonderful liz, I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor she is amazing. 😀

Five Star Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Finally passed my driving test today & all thanks to the support and guidance from Mandy who is a fabulous instructor. It had been more than a few years since I’d taken lessons so I decided to book a short intensive course and BDS came highly recommended and they did not disappoint! From my initial enquiry with Donna, to be being put in touch with my instructor Mandy, the communication was great and I had all my queries answered and before I knew it I was booked on the right course for me. As an instructor Mandy was friendly and calm, and had a great way of explaining things to me when I was looking a little confused. Mandy would push me to get the best out of me and ensure that I was driving to the best of my ability which overall has helped me feel more confident on test day! Thanks Mandy for everything, I will miss our lessons. For anyone considering learning to drive, look no further than BDS and I’d 100% recommend Mandy as an instructor!! 🚘

Recently passed my driving test first time thanks to my brilliant instructor Norrie Umpleby. She was incredibly patient and went through all aspects of driving thoroughly to make sure I could be confident on the road. Driving is now very enjoyable thanks to Norrie and I’m looking forward to the rest of my driving career. I highly recommend Norrie and Blackpool Driving School to anyone learning to drive!

Hi. I've been learning to drive with this company for just over a year and found Mandy my instructor was patient, encouraging and fun to learn from. She adapted her teaching style to accomadate my dyslexia and nerves and helped me manage to get over my self esteem struggles. I passed my theory test and driving tests on the second attempts. This has boasted my confidence. Mandy had taught me not just how to drive but how to drive well and be a polite, aware and assured driver. I look forward to the freedom this brings me as well as the opportunities to support friends in this way. It's opened up so many doors and I'm so glad I went through this learning with Mandy and BDS. Thankyou also to the office team who helped with the process of getting tests etc. Best wishes for all future learners.
