I recently took a practical taxi assessment test through this company, and it was a terrible experience. Initially, the examiner (Gary) asked for £210, but the company only charged me £160 when I booked through them. On the test day, the examiner told me I had to remove my dash cam, saying it was illegal to have it on. Trusting him, I took it off, but afterward, he falsely claimed I ran a stop line—something I never did. When I contacted the company, they were completely unhelpful, refusing to take any responsibility for their examiner, even though I booked him through them. As a result, I lost £90 unfairly due to a false statement. While the company did admit the examiner was wrong to ask me to remove the dash cam, they took no accountability for his actions, and I’m left out of pocket. I strongly advise others to avoid this company.
No costumer service at all.
Barefoot in mind that I could pass my test straight away next attempt with another company as I'm driving in these street for years and no way on earth I pass the stop line which I see every day in my life.

I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Diamond Advanced Motorists.

For context, I passed my taxi driving test first time with Priority in Ipswich with no issues. Unfortunately, Priority was later deemed incompatible, so I was required to retake the test again and i choose Diamond.

The examiner from Diamond failed me and listed faults that I genuinely did not commit. The experience was extremely unpleasant. At the end of the test, he refused to tell me whether I had passed or failed, saying it was “company policy,” and spoke to me in a very rude and dismissive manner.

What made the situation worse was his attitude regarding their full training package, which I did not purchase. He implied that I was “trying to be clever” for only booking the test and not the full package, and I strongly felt that I was failed because of this, not because of my driving. The faults written on the assessment sheet did not reflect my actual driving at all.

Today, I retook the test with BLT Driver Training and passed with flying colours, with zero faults. This clearly confirms that the failure with Diamond was unjustified.

I would not recommend Diamond Advanced Motorists based on my experience. In contrast, I had a very good experience with Priority and an excellent, fair, and professional experience with BLT Driver Training

I had paid on the website for a taxi test on July 18th as per their website it's says local examiner will contact within 5 days and I received a call ok wed 31st completely out of their policy statement and the examiner was not local was national distance when I asked for refund they just washed their hand completely no trust on the company and I lost my money

The company had advertised as when we book for the test the examiner will contact locally as I trust them booked for the taxi test unfortunately the examiner was too far away from my location when I called them for the refund they replied only 7 days prior will be refunded I have booked the test on July 18th examiner contacted by July 31st was the first issue as their terms say will contact by 5 days but it did not happen and when I asked for near location did not helped and no refund as they it's says on their 7 days policy and they did not accept their fault.This is agency cannot trust as they created a simple website and cheating people as they don't conduct test they send sub contract to local driving instructor.I totally surprised to see this effect I completely lost the trust on this company as they won't help anything
