Acclaim Driving Omdömen 

It was very good Gilbert was my instructor and got me the pass.

Many thanks to Adrian Mckinlay for helping me pass first time. His cheerful positive attitude made lessons enjoyable and gave me the confidence boost I needed to pass.

Would not recommend Elizabeth whiteley (Leicester based) very unprofessional, not trust worthy, paid her directly for 10 hours she kept cancelling my lessons and changing the dates, asked her for a refund for 4 of the 5 lesson I paid for and shes refusing to give me the money back. Acclaim are telling me they are not liable. But this woman is tarnishing their name driving around in a car with their name and number all over it.
Would not recommend acclaim at all. Unreliable company with inconsistent instructors.

My instructor Tanzeem Effendi was incredibly patient and understanding throughout my lessons. He helped build my confidence step by step and always created a relaxed learning environment. I really appreciate his clear explanations and guidance. He is absolutely professional, patient and ensures to fine tune my weaknesses. I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. I have passed my exam in first attempt and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning. Also, he is punctuality, clear explanations, mock tests, motorway, parallel parking, flexibility with lesson times, and helped overcome nervousness.

I would highly recommend them to anyone learning to drive.

My instructor, Chris, helped me so much throughout my experience. I couldn’t have done it without him!

I had an amazing experience with acclaim driving, thanks to my wonderful instructor Rich Cotter.
He was incredibly kind and extremely patient, especially at times when I was most nervous in difficult situations.
Rich’s teaching style made my learning enjoyable, and engaging.
He’s the perfect fit for the job!
I couldn’t recommend Rich and Acclaim Driving highly enough :)

This is the 2nd time with Acclaim Driving. They didn’t disappoint.
Steven Bostock, was our instructor, understanding clear instructions, easy to get on with, accommodating. Passed first time. Easy website

My experience with Acclaim Driving was amazing. My instructor, Pavan, was very patient and gave me helpful tips that made it easier to improve. I struggled most with confidence and nerves, but his calm approach really helped me stay relaxed. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.

My instructor Glen was extremely helpful and a relaxing environment

My driving instructor was brilliant, really grateful to Rich Cotter in Wiltshire for his patience and determination in helping to get me through my test. Rory M.

Cannot recommend Stephen Whinnery as a driving instructor enough! He was the most supportive, patient and professional instructor ever, driving is nerve wrecking as a learning and he made every lesson something to look forward to and enjoy. I passed first time with Stephen as my instructor and had zero doubts that I wouldnt! If you are looking to start your driving lessons Stephen is the instructor that you should choose especially if you want to enjoy driving!!

Amazing experience, passed today as my instructor had prepared me exceptionally well.

Chris was a fantastic instructor and I wouldn’t of passed without him

Very good and helpful.
Sloane (driving instructor) was very good.

Steven Bostock is an amazing driving instructor! He gave my son confidence and passed his driving test today. I highly recommend using acclaim! And thank you Steven for everything. 10/10 😊

Looking for driving lessons I saw Acclaim over everywhere, so I decided to contact them to find an instructor. BIG MISTAKE.

The day of my introduction 2h lesson the instructor arrived on time and looked nice at first. After saying hi he asked to see my provisional licence, to which I handed him my full driving licence (as I passed my full motorbike license) and straight away he was confused. He told me I couldn't learn until I had a provisional and had to request one, and I told him I can't request a provisional licence because that is my license there, and I had no issues when I did my theory test. He googled it twice to check if I was entitled to learn to drive and eventually we checked my licence details with the Gov. Website, and I indeed was entitled to learn. A rocky start but I thought that it was probably because he had never seen anyone with a full motorcycle licence but not a car one.

After this I told him that I've been riding for 4 years daily on a motorcycle and a year ago I passed my motorbike A licence and I've been riding a 600cc since then. I commute a total of 60 miles a day. And I've also had lessons with my partner on his automatic car and I've had no issues with driving so far, I just needed to get used to gears in a car. I did learn to drive a manual car but that was over a year ago. I then told him I had my test date booked in 8 weeks time.

His reaction to all this? He laughed. He laughed on my face and not in a nice way. He asked me multiple times if I was joking. He said there and then that I was going to fail and I would need to move my test forward. This conversation went on for a while. Eventually after telling me that DVSA recomend x hours of learning etc he checks his diary and realised he had a test booked just before mine, and wouldn't leave him enough time in between both tests so he wouldn't be able to take me in as a student. And then HE LAUGHED AGAIN and said that he wouldn't had taken me anyway because DVSA tell instructors not to take in any students who are not test ready because it would be a waste of time (he didn't see how I drive yet and was assuming I was going to fail).

The he said to me he didn't know what to do now. And I said I paid for the 2h so I wanted to drive for what was left of the lesson.

He drove us to the test centre area (which is 5 minutes down the road from me) and then I basically just drove around the block. He was so surprised my driving was smooth. 30 minutes before the end I parked the car and he told me that there is basically nothing else to do today. So I kept asking him questions about the driving test just to drag the time I paid for. At some point he said that I must still remember how it goes because the motorbike test must not be too different for the car one, and I said yes I remember it, and I actually did it fine, I passed both Mods first time with no faults, and he was again very surprised for some reason?

I was home 15 minutes before the end of the lesson and before leaving he told me to not get too excited when I go back home because the lesson went well, there's a lot more that goes into driving than that and I'm probably going to fail. I asked him what he meant by that and he couldn't quite respond.

Spoiler I passed first time.

I'm very disappointed with this being my first experience with a "professional " driving instructor. I found an actual instructor from YM driving who was not only professional, but realistic with my driving. He saw my areas of improvement and worked with me to polish my driving (at this point 6 weeks before my test date).

I passed my test 3 days ago, never changed my test date.

I wouldn't recommend Acclaim to anyone. Horrible experience. No professional instructor should tell their student they're a waste of time who will fail before they even touch the steering wheel.

10/10 highly highly recommend Travis

Very professional and patient when it comes to learning how to drive. Very determined to get me passed, thank you!

I want to say a big thank you to Wakeel Effendi (Wakeelji, the way I call) my driving instructor for all his help and guidance. His patience and calm approach really made a difference in my learning journey. I especially appreciate how he helped me unlearn some of my old driving habits and replace them with, more vehicle friendly and safer techniques.
Although I was confident of my driving skills and my training, Passing my UK driving test on the first attempt after just 12 lessons is something I am extremely happy about and it’s a testament to how effective Wakeelji's teaching style is. He made every lesson feel constructive and encouraging. What really stood out was his calm, supportive, and non-judgemental approach. Every lesson felt stress-free, which made a huge difference in building my confidence behind the wheel.
My test route was also one of those routes he had taken me on and had given clear instructions about what could be the common mistakes people make and fail which indeed was very helpful for me to Pass. I would highly recommend acclaim driving and Wakeel to anyone looking to learn driving the right way and for a calm, supportive and stress free way to learn.
