"Andy's a brilliant driving instructor! he always made sure i was comfortable and learning to drive with him was such a fun experience. Today i passed first time with 7 minors, i'd recommend him to anyone because he's brilliant at what he does and if he can get me to pass first time then he's pretty much a miracle worker! :D
Thanks Andy!"

"Before coming to Andy I had taken 2 tests with a previous instructors, failing them both with 2 majors in each and a string of minors. 1 month with Andy and I passed with 0 minors. This pretty much says it all - Andy is not only a great instructor, teaching me not only what I needed for the test but what I needed to be a safe and sensible driver, but also a great guy and a right laugh. He is a top bloke as well as a brilliant teacher, I'd recommend him to anyone!"

"Learning to drive with Andy has been an awesome experience. He made driving really enjoyable whilst at the same time teaching you exactly what you need to know, not just for the test but for when you have passed as well. I have recommended Andy to several friends and they are now enjoying lessons.

"Learning to drive rapidly became the bain of my life! I had three previous instructors, one failed test, a drained bank balance and a hatred of all things to do with driving before I met Andy. He taught me to enjoy learning to drive, how to drive properly and slowly unpicked all the bad habits i'd already acquired, whi...lst being a great laugh in the process! I loved learning with Andy, he was always honest about exactly how many lessons I needed and what I needed to do to improve. Anyway, I PASSED!!!! I never thought i'd pass and i'm soooooo chuffed! I couldn't of done it without Andy and I would definetly, 100% recommend him! Thanks Andy :)"

"I have thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Andy. He is a great laugh but also an awesome teacher; his encouraging yet patient attitude meant I made quick progress and eradicated my mistakes without feeling under pressure. But on the days when things just weren’t going right and it felt impossible, he instilled a confidence which I needed to push on and recover in order to pass my test, and that is what I value most. His pass rate is high for a reason! Cheers Andy!"

" I had the best time ever learning to drive with Andy, he is a fantastic driving instructor who doesn’t just teach you how to pass your test but teaches you how to drive in every day conditions with confidence. I always looked forward to his lessons and now I’ve passed I am really going to miss them. Andy made me feel very calm behind the wheel and was always patent with me even when I kept making stupid mistakes.
I have already recommended Andy to everyone I know and I will definitely be doing my pass plus with him.
Andy rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Would just like to say a big thank you for getting me through my driving test! Your a fantastic instructor who taught me everything I needed to know to pass with just one minor (get in!) and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. Driving lessons were always a great laugh and your a top bloke. I would strongly recommend the Andy Croft driving school!"

"You are a brilliant instructor with a positive attitude. Friendly and encouraging, even when I made the same mistakes over and over again. I really appreciate all the effort that you put in to get me ready for the test. I will always remeber the Maypole roundabout (my enemy) and the no of times you had to reiterate which lane I had to get in etc. I really admire the fact that there was not any time when you cancelled my lesson. Finally I would say if I can pass first time with you, I am sure anyone else can.
Wish you all the best"

"I came back to driving after several years off and felt a bit daunted by the task ahead, but Andy has managed a bit of a miracle: improving my confidence and getting me test-ready after about 20 hours of lessons! I passed my test first time (of this wave anyway, certainly first with him instructing!) and would heartily recommend Andy if you are looking for an instructor who is thorough, honest, with uncomplicated yet effective teaching methods, and always friendly and showing an interest in you as a person. I am very grateful for his help getting me through my test, despite the doubts I was having that I would actually pass and my obvious nerves!"

"Andy croft is a driving instructor in a million. If you want to learn in a completely comfortable and stress free learning environment you can count on andy croft! Even though i may have drove him mad ( and nearly crash) wanting to practise different things over and over again he is completely understanding so never hesistate to ask questions or anything! If you dont learn with andy you are crazy, give him a call and see what a fun/worthwhile driving experience you can have. Andy's character is so cheerful it makes driving lessons fly by and before you know you will be ready for your test! Thanks to andy for everything!"

"Andy is a brilliant driving instructor who quickly improved me from a beginner to a competent driver. After just a few lessons I felt confident with the basics of driving and after every lesson there was a noticeable improvement. His friendly and encouraging character made me feel comfortable and unfazed by new challenges because he was always there to help if there was any difficulty, but at the same time pushed me to succeed in new situations by myself.
I would recommend Andy to anyone who wants to learn to drive with a cheerful and supportive instructor. Seriously, learn with Andy!
Thankyou Andy!"

"I found learning to drive with Andy to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Unlike with a previous instructor I felt under absolutely no pressure to get things right all the time, but his friendly and effective way of teaching ensured that I had no problems with picking anything up.
Thanks to Andy I feel entirely confident behind the wheel. He is a really decent guy,
and it is down to him that I was able to pass first time. I have already recommended
him to several of my friends, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone
else in need of a top class instructor. Cheers Andy!"

"Having lost all my confidence due to a previous instructor, I had 1 lesson booked for me with Andy as a surprise, in hope to restore my self belief. By the time the hour was up I felt completely relaxed and comforotable with driving agian. Andy gave me so much confedience, and made me feel so relaxed while driving. I passed first time, after having my lessons with him. If it wasnt for Andy I would of gave up and never driven again, so a big thanks to Andy"

"Andy has a most fun yet constructive character which shows in his lessons and teaching within driving lessons. Andy adjusts the pace of lessons to suit your needs, quickly identifies areas to work on and his encouragement is superb, and you find yourself soon "flying"! Passing my test first time is something I personally had doubts about achieving, but with Andy's competence as a driving instructor and accommodating nature; I managed to achieve this goal which I had set myself. His lessons hold tools for life, you are taught how to drive and not just how to pass your test!
An excellent person and an excellent instructor. I would definitely recommend him to others!
Cheers Andy!"

"Andy is an excellent driving instructor, plain and simple. From the first lesson, he put me at ease and was very re-assuring- which contrasted somewhat with my previous instructor a few years ago! We quickly sorted out a plan to get me driving and ready for a test, and Andy didn't book any more lessons than he felt I needed- apparently he was spot on! My lessons always seemed to fly by, and were genuinely enjoyable.
Passing first time was something I totally put down to Andy's compentence in teaching me how to drive properly and not just for the test- and because of the confidence this had given me, I was much less nervous than I would have been.
I'd definitely recommend him to anyone, and he's a very nice chap too- cheers Andy!"

Andy didn't just teach me how to pass my test but how to drive in real life, we had a laugh and my lessons were very enjoyable.
I will definitely be doing my pass plus with Andy and recommend him to absolutely everyone!"

"After moving to Birmingham and starting a new job that needed me to drive I started lessons with Andy. He quickly picked up on the areas that I was struggling with and proceeded in ironing them out in good time. I then went on to pass my practical test first time. I sincerely recommend Andy because he is easy to get along with, patient and will teach you how to feel confident behind the wheel."

"Learning to drive with Andy was a great experience. After failing several tests with someone else I thought I would never actually pass. Andy made driving simple and second nature. Not only did he teach me how to pass a driving test but also how to drive on a day to day basis. He allowed me to drive to places that I knew would be useful for me after passing. Andy teaches in a fun but professional way, using easy reminders for the difficult parts of driving and helping you to remember them in a way that suits you. I would and have recommended Andy to anyone as I don't think you will find a driving instructor more commited to helping you pass! Thanks Andy for all the help you gave me and for getting me on the motorway for my pass plus...I will always use the 'Andy Croft shuffle' when parallel parking!"

"I have been driving for over twenty years and needed to take a taxi test, similar to a driving test, but a bit more stringent. With plenty of bad habits learnt over the last couple of decades I managed to fail the test twice. Then I contacted Andy for some professional advice. After just three lessons, I took the taxi test for a third time and passed. Thanks Andy, I would highly recommend your driving expertise."

"I was quite nervous about learning to drive again after a six and a half year gap. Andy was fantastic, he made me feel relaxed and my nerves went after my first lesson. After a very honest evaluation on my first lesson Andy was spot on with the number of lessons I needed and how often I needed them.
Andy is a great driving instructor who is not only honest in his evaluations but his prices are very fair and he never tried to take advantage by making me have more lessons than I needed. I have nothing but thanks and praise for Andy and have been recommending him to everyone I know!
Thanks to Andy’s instruction and very helpful information and study aides for both the theory and practical tests I passed first time which I don’t feel I would have done if I had used a different driving instructor.
I strongly advise anyone looking for an instructor to contact Andy as you cannot find a better driving instructor! Good luck with learning to drive and once again Andy thank you for everything!"

"After about a 3 year gap since my last driving lesson, I felt I had put it off long enough. So with the recommendation of a friend Andy was described to me as a friendly, professional and proficient instructor. My friend was spot on!
Unlike other instructors you may find, Andy won't just teach you how to pass your test but he will teach you how to drive. His lessons on observation and forward planning will stay with me forever, and will make me a safe driver both for myself and other road users.
If you are looking for great value, professional instruction, flexible lesson plans and most importantly someone who truly wants to see you pass then please look no further.
You better book quick as I have recommended Andy to everyone I know!"

"I would just like to thank Andy for all of his expertise and training he provided me. He only needed short notice and could get me lesson times to suit me. I only had 3 lessons and this was sufficient enough for myself to pass my test first time with only 2 minors.
Also thank you for teaching me not just how to pass my test but how to drive safely in every day road conditions.
Thanks again Andy and I will definitely be recommending you to every one I can"

"Learning to drive with Andy was a joy. I got the result I was asking for in less time than I predicted for myself. I needed to pass my test ASAP. I am a single mother and I needed to be mobile to take a little stress off my day to day duties including shopping, getting the kids to school and myself to work. I was spending a fortune on public transport it was really getting me down. I felt very comfortable with Andy, he is very approachable and understanding down to earth and he has lots and lots of patients. His technique is very good. I am considering taking my pass plus and when I do I will be going back with Andy without a doubt."
Thanks again Andy you’re a Star!!

"I put off learning to drive again for a number of years because I had never before felt confident in a car, despite taking lessons and two tests ten years before. I am not exactly a natural driver and needed an instructor who is patient but also willing to push me. To my delight, Andy fitted the bill perfectly as well as teaching to such a high standard, the practical test seemed easy! I needed to drive quickly in a short period of time due to a new job and was delighted to pass first attempt and after about eight weeks!
I have nothing but praise for the way I was taught. So much so I have already recommended a friend who is also delighted with how their lessons are going and the way they are being taught which includes attention to detail - no bad habits here - excellent forward planning assistance and full support throughout the process.
I would recommend this (Andy) driving school to everybody, regardless of current driving ability (or not!!)"
