Acclaim Driving Avis 1 304

While generally the teaching was effective throughout my driving lessons, I found the instructor to be unprofessional at times, encouraging political and religious conversations which made me uncomfortable. For example, complaining about immigrants in the city etc and expecting me to agree.
While I felt he was patient when I was learning a new skill, I found that mistakes on things I previously had achieved were met with frustration which only increased my nervousness.

I began taking lessons with Tony Sykes through Acclaim Driving early last year, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. The quality of teaching was fantastic — Tony pushes you just the right amount to help you build confidence while making sure you become a safe and capable driver.
I recently passed my test with only one minor fault, and I genuinely credit Tony for that achievement. His guidance, patience, and structured approach made all the difference.
Although I didn’t need to contact the Acclaim office very often, whenever I did — whether for booking or rearranging lessons — everything was handled smoothly and efficiently.
I would highly recommend Tony to any new learners looking for a supportive and professional instructor.

I had Graeme for my driving intense course and I can’t recommend him enough, he is the most patient driving instructor I’ve ever had and was really flexible when working around my schedule even if I booked a driving test for a week after I failed one😂, Graeme is extremely encouraging but also realistic when teaching

Rich Cotter transformed me and got me test ready with a short deadline. His style is very calm and methodical. A pleasure to learn with and had helpful online resource suggestions which helped me continue the process between lessons. A++

Amazing experience and lucky to have a brilliant instructor who gave me all the skills and confidence to pass my test first time

Acclaim Driving were very easy to book with and very helpful, would definitely recommend!

It was easy to communicate with the company and I enjoyed my lessons with my driving instructor- Steven

My driving instructor Ben was great, made the lessons really enjoyable and I feel like I learnt a lot and improve quickly. He supported me every step of the way!

I had Tony Sykes as my driving instructor, and I cannot recommend him enough!
I struggle with severe anxiety, so driving was initially a very scary experience for me! But Tony gave me all the knowledge and confidence to be able to become a good driver, and I passed my test first time!
He was always calm and patient with me, and always believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.
I couldn't have done it without Tony, so I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to start learning to drive or to have refresher lessons etc!
Thank you Tony and Acclaim!

My instructor has been incredibly patient and constructive throughout my driving journey and even when I made stupid mistakes.

Really helpful booking my test and lessons and happily answer any questions I had

Dave was a brilliant instructor, very funny, down to earth guy but also knows how to teach you what you’re supposed to be doing and knows when to be serious in teaching! Would recommend to anyone looking to go with Acclaim. Thank you Dave, was a pleasure!

I passed first time with Shiv and he is a great instructor who is calm and patient, which is just what you need when you’re learning something new! I would really recommend him and I am really grateful for everything he did for me, even helping me with references for work etc. He goes above and beyond and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Brian Torbitt was my instructor from acclaim. A great instructor with a pre planned teaching method. Moves you forwards each lesson and I passed on my first test.

Darshan was my driving instructor and I passed first time with him. I honestly cannot recommend him and Acclaim highly enough. To say my learning experience was exceptional would be an understatement.

From the very start, I felt truly supported, believed in and encouraged throughout every stage of my driving journey. Darshan created a safe and empowering environment where even when I made many mistakes, he remained kind, calm and patient and I could improve. He remained positive every single lesson, even when I doubted myself. He truly cares about you becoming a safe, responsible driver for the rest of your life, and he works with you as a team.

Darshan’s knowledge, skill and commitment to high standards shone through in every lesson. He is an expert instructor who adapts to your learning style, explains things clearly and genuinely cares about helping you improve and become the driver you want to be.

I came an incredibly long way from when I first started learning to drive, including in how nervous I was, and this progress is all due to Darshan’s incredible teaching and character.

Communication with both my instructor and Acclaim was always excellent, and the Acclaim dashboard made arranging lessons easy and stress-free, too.

Darshan is truly an outstanding instructor, I would recommend him and Acclaim to anyone seeking a professional, supportive and successful learning experience, no matter how nervous you are.

I was learning to drive through travis who made learning fun with great conversation in a chilled back manor and a good sense of humour, which helped me feel confident and I passed 1st time with only 5 minors

I did the 10 day intensive course in December and acclaim was great in helping me every step of the way. Great communication from the company in finding the right instructor for me and also a great price for the amount of hours of practice and getting tests included.

My driving instructor Chris made learning to drive a comfortable experience and was great in teaching me how to drive! Recommend hugely!!

My instructor Anselm couldn't be a nicer bloke, has the patience of a saint getting me on the road, would recommend to anybody :)
