I took lessons with Alam (automatic driving instructor at ABC Driving School) and passed first time! I had 6 months before my theory was to expire and Alam was nothing short of the best instructor I have ever worked with. He was reassuring, trust worthy and went above and beyond to ensure I passed. I would recommend him to all my friends and family, he is extremely skilled at his profession and second to none!

I passed my driving test today thanks to my instructor, Mr M.S Alam, one of the best and finest instructors I could have asked for. He is calm, patient, and very clear in his teaching, which helped me gain confidence and improve my driving skills. He always explained things thoroughly, corrected mistakes with kindness, and motivated me to do my best throughout the learning process. I am truly grateful for his guidance and support. Jazak Allah Khair.

I had an excellent experience with Bilal Ali as my driving instructor. He helped me with everything I needed to pass my UK driving test, from basic skills to test-specific preparation. He is very patient, professional and explains things clearly, which really boosted my confidence. Each lesson was well structured and focused on improving my weak areas. I highly recommend Bilal Ali to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor

I PASSED!!!

I took manual driving lessons with Mr. Chowdhry, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He is truly exceptional, calm, patient, and incredibly supportive throughout every lesson. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions without hesitation, and made sure I had plenty of practice until I felt confident.

His teaching style is structured, which really helped reduce my anxiety as a new driver in the UK. He always maintained a positive attitude, gave constructive feedback.

I booked him quite last minute before my driving test, but he took extra time out of his working hours to accommodate me. I’m really grateful for his support and flexibility.

I would highly recommend Mr. Chowdhry to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and encouraging driving instructor!

After having passed my driving test today on my first attempt, all I can say is that it is thanks to this instructor here. He is very understanding and patient and makes sure to properly teach everything you need to learn in your own time. He doesn't shout when you make a mistake, instead he explains properly why it was a mistake and how to correct it and then ensures the mistake was fixed by testing you against it. Overall too the instructor Joglul is a very nice person to be in the car with and throughout a few months of training under him, I am happy to say he delivered flawlessly. If I ever had someone looking for a driving instructor, the first person I would go to is Joglul. Alhamdullilah for everything.
Response from the owner 09:54 27 Sep 25
Alhamdulillah, Rids – huge congratulations on passing your driving test first time! 🎉 It was a real pleasure supporting you on your journey, and I’m so glad you felt comfortable and confident throughout your lessons. Mistakes are part of learning, and I’m happy my approach helped you turn them into strengths. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation — it truly means a lot. Wishing you safe and enjoyable driving always.– Mohammed Joglul Amin, DVSA Approved Driving Instructor

Response from the owner 11:19 15 May 25
Dear Saeed,We're sorry to hear about your experience, but we take these matters very seriously. Please could you confirm that your booking was with ABC Driving School and provide the instructor’s name, date, and time of your scheduled lesson? It is extremely unlikely for one of our instructors to miss a session without giving prior notice. We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this and resolve any misunderstanding.

I passed my driving test on the first attempt after just four months of lessons with Mr. Joglul, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. He is a fantastic instructor—patient, friendly, and always encouraging. His teaching style made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and he explained everything clearly, making even the more challenging aspects of driving easy to understand.

Mr. Joglul’s calm and professional approach helped me build my skills at a steady pace, and his constructive feedback ensured I was fully prepared for the test. If you’re looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor, I highly recommend him!

Our 5-Star Student Stories

Finally Conquered My Nerves!

Finally Conquered My Nerves!

I put off learning to drive for over 10 years because I was so terrified. My instructor, David, was a lifesaver. He was unbelievably patient and never made me feel silly or stressed, even when I stalled at a busy roundabout. We started on quiet roads in Sutton Coldfield, and he slowly built my confidence. Last week, I passed my test at the South Yardley centre first time! I genuinely never thought this day would come. Thank you, ABC!

— Chloe G., Sutton Coldfield

Passed in 2 Weeks with the Intensive Course

I needed my licence for a new job, and I needed it fast. I booked a 30-hour intensive course, and it was the best decision I made. My instructor, Maria, was brilliant. She knew the Small Heath and South Yardley test routes inside out. It was hard work, but she drilled everything I needed to know without wasting a minute. Passed with only two minors. I can’t recommend this course enough if you’re in a hurry! “

— Aman S., Small Heath

Automatic Lessons Made Driving So Easy

I tried manual years ago and hated it. The gears and clutch just stressed me out. I decided to try automatic lessons with ABC, and it was a completely different experience. The car was modern, and driving without gears made me so much less anxious, especially around the city centre. My instructor was fantastic, so calm and clear. I passed my test in Acocks Green and feel so ready to drive on my own. If you’re struggling with manual, just switch
