Stumbled across First Time after reading reviews on here funnily enough. Went with ADI called PETER COVERLEY, what can I say which hasn't been said about this man, great teaching technique, always on time, great sense of humour and enstilled a great deal of confidence in me which was lacking when I first started out, needless to say I passed 'First Time.' Cool guy all round, be sure to ask for Peter..then again he does have one downside...he's a Man Utd fan!.. |

I learnt with Peter and had a great experience. He is a very knowledgable instructor and I passed with only 1 minor. Would highly recommend... |

My driving instructor was Pete. He was a great teacher - full of patience, always on time, very helpful, and a great sense of humour!
Pete gave me the confidence not only to pass my test, but also to get out on the road by myself. I would highly recommend 1st Time (and especially Pete) to any learner drivers out there... |

After having two bad experiences with other instructors was recommended to go with Rob from 1st time and he was brilliant! The prices were soo good and he was so patient with me. I passed first time and couldn't have been happier!

My driving Instructor was Rob Jary, very reliable, calm, patient and trustworthy. Everything you want in a driving instructor. I was quite an unconfident driver but Rob put me at ease and made me believe that i could do it I have now passed my test and am thrilled. Prices are reasonable too. If you're going to book lessons book through 1st time and ask for Rob Jary. By far the best!!!.. |

I passed my test with peter, my girlfriend suggested I gave him a call after having being messed around by various money grabbing so called instructors. I was quite pleased as it felt like I was learning how to drive properly needless to say I passed first time. I would reccomend if you are going to go with first time ask for peter covely. .. |

My first time instructor has helped me to pass my test first time with a clean sheet. She motivated me and pushed me so I could be a perfect driver and also helped me to become a responsible driver too. Thank you for all your help. I will definitely recommend anyone who wants to drive to learn with first time they are great!.. |

I have just recently passed my driving test and am well chuffed. I was recommended by quite a few of my mates who passed with the company that was taught by Gemma. Id had lessons before but stopped and had a gap as i was put off by another instructor. Gemma was always on time, very professional and always explained things well so it made it easy to pick up. Would definatly recommend her to anyone. Thanks!.. |

After reading the review here, I booked lessons with Vinny. I took my test on the 13th Jan and passed 1st time!
I cannot recommend Vinny enough, he was a really great instructor. Flexible, patient and on time. He is a real people person and humorous. He made me feel at ease and gave me confidence. I could not have done it without him.
I had taken a couple of lessons with another instructor before Vinny. I found this instructor too agressive and critical, he made me loose confidence and feel as if I would not be able to achieve test standard. You will know within 1-2 lessons if you like your instructor - if you don't, change straight away otherwise you will be wasting you money and time.
Always book lessons with somebody who has been recommended. Ask friends, family or neighbours for recommendations or look at reviews online... |

I have found 1st time to be excellent. After having a previous driving instrustor which was charging me £22 for 50 minutes 1st time are so much cheaper...but the service certainly didnt reflect this. My driving instructor John is always reliable, on time and extremly friendly (he doesnt even mind my constant taslking) and always ensures that I have the full one hour lesson.
I completed more in one lesson with him than I did in 6 with my previous instructor. I would recommed to all (and i have too all my friends many of whom are now changing instructors to be with him). .. |

Vinny taught my wife - promt, flexible and REALLY patient. A brilliant tutor for a fair price. HIGHLY recommended.
My wife passed first time and she was a bag of nerves when she started learning. .. |

After having a previous instructor waste my time and money my sister recommended 1st time. She had passed her first driving test after having lessons with them.
Whilst driving with 1st time i began to enjoy my lessons again, my instructor was always on time and seemed eager to teach me rather than waste time. After 20 hours with 1st time i passed my driving test first time.
I would recommend this company... |

After being disappointed with so many other so-called "schools" I very impressed with 1st Time. Had a really good instructor who actually wanted to get me through the test rather than just take my money.
It was cheaper too and you get an hour's lesson - not 50 mins!
Should've gone with them first of all.
