If you want to pass your driving test on the first time I highly recommend using using thedrivingskool! I passed in Sidcup my first time with only three minors. Mike was an amazing instructor, very thorough and a great teacher. Having used some of the bigger driving schools in the past I can say these guys go over and beyond, and provide a much better service. Thanks Mike!

Couldn't ask for a better driving experience. Lessons were always full of helpful teaching, whilst in a safe and fun environment. Never dreaded a lesson, and in fact looked froward to them. Highly recommend the company to anyone looking to drive.

Passed with Lee in Essex - Couldn't recommend a better instructor; always on time, knew his stuff and made me feel very comfortable. Would absolutely go with Lee from the Driving Skool if you can, Thank you Lee.

I was lucky enough to discover Mike and the Driving Skool when my wife and I moved to Chislehurst. Mike was incredibly welcoming, personal and honest, helping me to set out a realistic schedule to match my work commitments and upcoming family arrival. He was upfront about his (very reasonable) costs and the requirements for booking both my theory and practical test, recommending West Wickham as the test centre. I'd planned to take an intensive course but, at Mike's suggestion, ended up with a combination of weekly lessons followed by a semi-intensive week just before my test. This worked out perfectly and I was happy to pass my test on the first attempt. During our drives, Mike was great, putting me at ease, offering support (and assertion) when needed, and all whilst being totally aware of our surroundings and in absolute control of the vehicle. He might appear laid back and relaxed but, from experience, he has outstanding reflexes! Over the course Mike provided a number of training materials to help with the theory of driving, especially for some of the manoeuvres, and the Driving Skool have also put together a number of videos on Youtube. About the car: I drove in Mike's Mini diesel, it was very comfortable on the inside with leather seats and A/C for the warmer days. On the road it was smooth to drive and had enough driver assist features to help a new driver without relying on them, though it was still quite a shock taking our basic 0.8l petrol out afterwards. At no point did I ever feel like a 'job', and as my confidence grew it was a pleasure talking to Mike about Chislehurst and the many community events and initiatives he gets involved with. Overall I had a great learning experience and I'd highly recommend Mike and the Driving Skool. Good luck and happy driving!
