Just passed my driving test first time after completing a 40-hour automatic course with Driver Skills North East 🚗🎉

A massive thank you to Sarah and Dave for being such fantastic instructors throughout. They struck the perfect balance of patience and firmness, which really helped build my confidence and keep me focused on improving every lesson.

I couldn’t have asked for better support — they explained everything clearly, pushed me when I needed it, and made sure I was fully prepared for test day.

Highly recommend Driver Skills North East to anyone looking to learn — especially if you want instructors who genuinely care about helping you succeed!

I’ve been with Driving Skills North east from the first time I sat in a drivers seat to being handed my practical test certificate today. Throughout that time Gareth has been enormously helpful, patient, and insightful. He has both taught me how to become a good driver and how to pass my test. The school itself has been fantastic at moving up test dates when appropriate and making getting an earlier test far simpler and I now feel ready to go out on the road by myself. Thank you to Gareth and Drivers skills North East!

My instructor Simon was great, very patient and friendly and really helped me in passing.

Simon was very patient, amicable and accommodating during the time I had him as an instructor, as well as being very effective and helping me to pass my test.

I recently completed a 20 hour intensive automatic course and passed my practical driving test in Durham. My instructor Marco was amazing and helped me overcome hesitation & confusion at round-a-bouts and duel carriage ways. The whole process of booking the course (as I had pre-booked my practical test) was easy and streamlined thanks to Sarah at the office! Thank you very much!

I passed my test.
Marco was my instructor.
He was very constructive.
Thank you, Marco.
And thank you, Driver Skills North East.

I learned with Marco after failing my first test and to say it helped was an understatement he teaches people amazingly and is patient when teaching you

Marco has been so patient with me as my nerve were off the scale. I passed today after a lot of lessons and more confidence. Couldn't have done it with out Marco. Thank you so much.

Gareth was an excellent driving instructor ! Couldn't have asked for a better, more supportive teacher. Definitely recommend Driving Skills North East !

Gareth is an absolute legend!! He’s so constructive with his observations and so encouraging. I felt completely at ease being in the car with him and he boosted my confidence with driving ten fold. Big up Gareth!!!!!

Gareth is a fantastic instructor. Patient and understanding, he helped me pass my test and gave me tons of insights and awareness which have really stuck with me and continue to influence and improve my driving abilities. Sometimes seemed like too high of a hurdle but his teaching gave me the confidence to break through every time. He always managed to explains things in a way I could understand and apply effectively.

My driving instructor Gareth was very friendly, helped me get through my test as quickly and especially as cheep as possible. He helped me get over my fear of driving and always told me I was capable of passing and never doubted me even when I doubted myself.
