Max Pass Driving School Reviews 

My instructor, Davy, was excellent. Relaxed, friendly, knowledgeable, completely focussed on improving my driving. I didn't mention much of this during the lessons, but I've had a tough time this last year, losing my mum in November, looking after my dad, working full time, studying part time to finish my masters degree (which I passed with a Merit), and on top of that having a driving test booked but no available lessons and not having access to a car for the last two or three months (this I did mention). Fortunately I found the Max Pass Driving School. I live in Edinburgh but had my test in Dunfermline and managed to arrange 5 one hour lessons which I took each day before the test. I didn't pass this time, but it was a huge improvement on my first test. Based on this test result, 2 serious (not seeing a road sign that prevents entry for cars requiring the examiner to tell me to turn right, and not moving back into the space in the left lane after the parked cars before turning right) and 4 minors, I know I can pass. The examiner said, despite the mistakes, it was a good drive. Onward and upward. I'd recommend Davy and the MaxPass Driving School.

I had a really good experience learning to drive with Mark. He was very patient, professional, and explained everything clearly, which helped me build confidence behind the wheel. He made lessons enjoyable and always stayed calm, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to his guidance and support, I felt well prepared for my test and passed!! I would highly recommend.

Mark is an excellent driving instructor. He is patient, professional, and gives clear guidance that helps build confidence on the road. His support and teaching made learning to drive much easier. Highly recommended!

Would highly recommend mark!! Could not have done it without his patience and determination to get me to be the best driver I can!! Thank you mark !!!

Passed my test this morning all thanks to Mike! The best instuctor, kept me calm and focused through all my lessons!! Would recommend Max Pass to anyone!

I passed my test this morning after learning with Mark at Max pass, Mark has been great and had so much patience with me and made things so easy,it was a pleasure to learn with him! Would recommend him 100x over, Great guy!

Really recommend Amie for an instructor, really patient and kind. I felt myself progressing each week and will miss having my lessons with her since I passed.

I can’t recommend Mark Fotheringham highly enough as a driving instructor. From the first lesson to my test he made me feel calm and confident behind the wheel. His teaching style is clear, patient and professional, and he explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re really nervous or completely new to driving. He’s also just a really cool guy and super easy to get along with. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Thanks mark 👍

Mark Fotheringham, is an excellent instructor couldn’t recommend anyone better . he helped me thrive in my driving experience and skills . He is positive in every lesson and helps you learn everything you need to know to be safe on the roads , and help me achieve on passing today .

I was able to pass first time and can’t recommend Fraser enough. Very helpful and knowledgeable, was great at answering any questions I had. Would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a manual instructor to get Fraser!

i had mark as a instructor when i was 17 and passed 2nd time with him i ended up loosing my license and having to resit my test took a few lessons with mark and he was really good and i passed 1 st time would reccomend highly

Couldn’t recommend anyone better than our Mike can’t thank him enough for all his patience and for believing in me thanks for everything

Mike is the most amazing, supportive, encouraging driving instructor you will ever meet. Learning to drive has been one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done, and Mike has been an absolute superstar throughout. Not once in almost two years did he ever make me feel like I wasn’t capable.

He never makes lessons feel pressured or stressful — instead, he takes you on a real journey. He sets strong foundations, then steadily builds your confidence and skills so you can achieve your best. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Highly recommend Mike at Maxpass.

Passed my test today with Mark Fotheringham. Couldnt have asked for a better instructor. He was very knowledgeable, patient and punctual and helped me feel relaxed and confident. Highly recommend

I passed with Andy at Max Pass. Andy is one of the most encouraging, and kind people I’ve ever met. He pushed me to keep fighting through and keep going with my driving journey, and with no surprise - a pass with just 1 minor!!! Thankyou endlessly Andy, I couldn’t have done it without you, you really are the best - lots of laughs too! Highly recommend!!!!!!

My daughter has just passed her automatic test on her first attempt with Mike. She enjoyed every lesson and always came home pleased with her progress. Mike has a friendly, calm and trusting approach. Mike was reliable and always on time with good communication. Mike is a very experienced instructor and always felt that my daughter was in a safe pair of hands. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend Mike at max pass. He helped and guided me with great patience as an older learner who never wanted to drive and not once made me feel like I wasn't able.

Would recommend Mike to anyone learning to drive. He was so patient and explained everything well, would go over things again or explain in a different way if I hadn’t quite got it. Also great chat on the drives, I passed first time and it’s all thanks to Mike.

Huge thank you to Andy at Max Pass for helping me throughout my driving journey and always being patient with me couldn’t have done it without him!

My name is Ffion and I can not recommend max pass enough specifically Amy she is so kind and always stays calm even when i wasnt, she helped me overcome all and any doubts and concerns I had with my driving. We always had good chats during lessons (i will miss) which also helped ease my nerves
