I had automatic driving lessons with Al. He was a super instructor and I passed first time. More importantly than just passing the test I feel safe driving independently on the road and this is down to Al. He used every opportunity to improve my decision making on the road and make me the safest driver I can be. Would 100% recommend.

Absolutely, I wholeheartedly endorse licence2drive. My time learning to drive with Al was truly enjoyable. He consistently showed patience and thoroughness in his teaching approach. Despite my initial nervousness, I realized it was unwarranted. Passing my test has left me immensely pleased.

I had Al as my instructor, he was really good, always really patient with me and made sure I always understood what we were going through. Only had 7 months of lessons and then passed my test with only 3 minors. He even changed our lesson days when I had change of timetable at college, and barely ever cancelled on me. Super reliable instructor made things like reverse bay parks seem super easy. Would definitely recommend. Super easy to get along with aswell, it was never awkward.

Highly recommend. Mike (my instructor) was brilliant from start to finish. After 6 weeks of lessons (semi-intensive) I passed 1st time today with 1 minor and I could not be happier with the quality of the lessons I received. Mike is honestly an amazing teacher and you couldn't be in safer hands. Additionally, Gareth - who initially dealt with my booking etc. was great; responsive, polite and incredibly accommodating. 5 stars all round.

I've put off getting a license for a long time and i'm really pleased with my experience learning to drive with Al. He was very calm and reassuring throughout and helped me to pass the test with confidence. I'd definitely recommend to others.

As an extremely nervous driver which was only made worse being pregnant, learning to drive was always going to be a challenge for me. Gareth was unbelievably good at not only growing my confidence but also helping me realise I can do it! He adapted the lessons to suit my needs and always knew how to provide feedback that would empower me to do better. I honestly cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Gareth!

I recently passed my test first time after learning with Gareth from Licence2Drive. Gareth is a great instructor who tailors each lesson to you personal needs and therefore makes sure you are in the best position possible to pass both your theory and practical driving tests. Gareth is always professional and ensures you are confident by explaining things in a way that makes sense (he compared some situations to football for me so that I fully understand what I needed to do). If starting to learn in Norwich, don't hesitate to get in touch with Gareth and Licence2Drive, I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Licence2Drive are really good. I can highly recommend Rob. His lesson were engaging and covered every aspect of driving for test standard. This lead to me passing first time with few minors! The cost of lessons and 'test day package'' is very reasonable! Would highly recommend!

So glad I got passed today. Al, my instructor, is very well experienced. He had several ways to explain until I fully understood. He taught me lots of techniques and safety. I havent just passed the test but become a confident driver. Highly recommended Instructor Al.

Would really recommend Licence2Drive! Arranging lessons was really quick and easy. Al was a great instructor - he explained things really clearly, gave lots of advice and answered my many questions. I really struggled with parking but Al was super patient and kept trying different strategies before we found one which clicked (my parallel park on my test was perfect!). Thanks so much for putting up with my drama and making me a driver :)

Gareth was fantastic to learn with. His teaching made driving enjoyable and helped me to become a confident and safe driver. I struggled with test day nerves and Gareth was excellent at preparing me for test day by looking at routes, plus the trickier roads in Norwich so I felt I was learning to drive well and not just to pass the test. He knew as soon as I was ready for the practical test and I believe would never let a student go to test who was under (or over) prepared. I really cannot recommend Licence2Drive and Gareth enough!

Could not fault Licence2Drive in any way! I had Jaclyn as my instructor, and she was absolutely lovely! She really made me feel at ease and built up my confidence! Her communication was faultless and she made driving seem easy. I really enjoyed my lessons and I'm going to miss driving with Jaclyn :) Thank you so much, would recommend to everyone!!

Faultless test thanks to a faultless instructor, can't say I ever had the opportunity to get frustrated whilst learning to drive because Rob made it so easy and painless. A real concise and simple learning experience that I would recommend to anyone, best of luck if you do choose License2Drive.

I would highly recommend learning to drive with Licence2Drive after carrying out a semi intensive course over the summer holidays and passing first time. Gareth made me feel at ease throughout all of my lessons and helped me to build confidence within my own decisions and throughout driving. He was very flexible with lesson times so that the lessons would fit around me. Gareth was also very friendly, patient and an easy person to get along with, so I found the whole experience (pretty much!) stress free.

After a couple of weeks looking around at different instructors/driving schools I decided to go with License2Drive and I'm so glad i did. Robs teaching style and relaxed lessons really helped me improve quickly and achieve what felt impossible just a few months ago, passing my driving test with 0 minors!! I couldn't recommend these guys enough.

Licence2Drive are a fantastic company to go for when learning to drive. The instructors at Licensce2Drive are incredibly patient, hardworking and really care about your needs as a learner. I would strongly recommend Licence2Drive as a company to learn to drive with!

I had a really good experience of learning to drive with Al. I came to driving very late at 45 with virtually no previous driving experience. Al was patient and clear with his instruction and has guided me through from no knowledge or skill at all to passing yesterday with only three minor faults. Would definitely recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed my driving experience with Licence2Drive. Every lesson was perfectly planned and executed, with a lovely instructor who was well informed, trained and disciplined. Thanks to Jackie, my instructor, I managed to pass first time with only two minors, feeling confident with my driving ability. Youd do well to find better instructors in the Norwich area, with such competitive prices too.

Had a few intensive lessons with another company but never clicked with the instructor. Gareth was awesome though, pushed me when I needed it and made things that were difficult before so easy to understand. Just gotta remember not to let my brain get in the way.

Definitely recommend learning to drive with License2drive! Rob was a fantastic instructor; very organised with timing plus always makes the driving lessons a fun and calm experience while ensuring you are at the top of your game and fully aware of the do's and dont's of driving. Massive thank you to Rob, I will miss our singing/humming along to rock music...
