Thank you BDS for helping me pass my driving examination. It is worth it. My instructor Simon was very patient, always on time, calm and easy to be with. BDS was very helpful in booking my exam dates and very flexible in my practice days. Highly recommended!

A really amazing driving school, that I would recommend to all. A big thank you to my driving instructor Paul Tilling for helping me pass my test, making me comfortable and enjoy every lesson.

Just completed a 30 hour intensive corse with Cindy, the week started as a disaster as I was suffering horrendous ear ache and felt so Ill from the nite I arrived (as I’m not local). my first day I didn’t say anything and went through but in the last hour I did and Cindy showed me to the walk in after our day on the road where I was for 4 hours to No avail….. I was gutted and felt it was a waste off money because off how bad I felt this stayed for 95/ off my time but we dug in and Cindy was 100/ professional she helped me with everything I questioned and Re-covered anything I was not 100/ sure on. Come Friday (test day) and breezed through with 2 minors first time round a massive thank you to Cindy and bds I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Had 30+ hours with David Thorpe as my instructor. He got me through my test(first time) with only 3 minors. I couldn't be more happy with dave and the driving school. Thank you so much!!

Since the very beginning BDS have been great to work with, prompt in helping with queries and getting things arranged. I did a 30-hour intensive course with Liz and passed first time with 7 minors. While the title of the course ‘intensive’ does give away the fact it’s intense, I still underestimated how intense and tiring it would be - however, very much worth it. The progress I made just on the first day alone outweighed any of the previous experience I had through other instructors when doing weekly lessons. I think you rebound so much faster when making mistakes on this course as opposed to just doing weekly courses, and for this reason think it makes it a much more effective way to learn - given that you’re prepared for the intensity. Liz was wonderful throughout! She always arrived on time each morning and was chatty and friendly through all the sessions. I found the app she used on her iPad to explain certain roads and roundabouts helpful as I was able to visualise certain things before attempting them. I felt very comfortable with Liz and would definitely recommend her! Thanks so much to Liz & BDS!

Did a ten hour driving course with Liz and passed after having licence revoked very friendly and useful tips couldn’t rate her enough !

Shane was very friendly and encouraging. I had past my test about 10 years ago and hadn’t driven since passing. He helped me gain confidence in my driving ability and also and got me up to date with currently theory and driving practises. Would 100% recommend him.

BDS were unbelievable from start to finish. I had Shane McKenna as my instructor and cannot recommend him enough. Not only is he a great teacher but also an unbelievably kind and considerate person. He guided me through the whole process without any hiccups and always put my learning first. He goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy and comfortable throughout... including immediate replies to messages regardless of time of day. If you're wondering where to start with your lessons and who to go with... look no further! Shane is your man 100% he makes sacrifices for his students and certainly someone I'll never forget. The only downside is I don't get to enjoy the fun and laughs for 2 hours on a Friday anymore 😥 Cheers again Shane and Donna, much appreciated 😁

Couldn’t possibly speak any higher of Blackpool Driving school! From initial contact, they were polite, friendly, informative & really competitive in price! As someone who has avoided learning for years & made excuses after excuses, both Donna in the office & my amazing instructor Mandy put me completely at ease & filled me with confidence to get it done! Thank you again Blackpool Driving School xxx

Excellent instructor. My Son passed first time with no faults. I would highly recommend this driving school.

Absolutely amazing experience. I’m so grateful for all the support and endless patience of my instructor Emma. I would do it all again, I’m incredibly thankful for such a reliable instructor and car. Couldn’t be a better experience, even with covid in the way, we still managed to get round it in the end. Thanks guys. You got me there :)

Thankyou to BDS and Mandy with whom I booked a 20 hrs driving course and passed first time! Mandy's a pleasure and a top-notch instructor, who I wholeheartedly endorse. The course was easy to book via the friendly Donna. 10/10.
