Great western driving academy  Anmeldelser 

I can’t recommend Simon enough- from the very first lesson he was patient, supportive and boosted my confidence.

Thank you to Roque for helping me pass first time. He is a very good instructor as he was able to teach me in an easy-to-learn manner and was also understanding when I would make a mistake or take a wrong turn/exit. I would recommend him as he is also good at giving easy-to-follow instructions when it comes to parking or difficult manoeuvres

Thank you!!
waheed is a brilliant driving instructor!! he is so patient and talks through every single step of you aren’t sure of anything and is so helpful. he helped me pass first time and is just brilliant at teaching everything you need to be ready and prepared for driving. Thank you so much!!

Had a great experience learning to drive with Simon, he was patient, encouraging and didn't let me give up.

I would 100% recommend Waheed. He has been a great driving instructor, very patient, calm and positive.

He took time at the end of each lesson to give constructive feedback in a friendly way and I always looked forward to my lessons.

Thank you Waheed - without you I wouldn’t have passed (1st time!).

I learnt so much from the start and kept learning each time I got in the car, I always left my lessons being better and more confident than before and had really fun and interactive experiences. Definitely recommend Simon!

After a year of not driving and my test in two weeks James took on the challenge and helped me prepare for my test. Not only was James very understanding to my circumstances his approachable nature made lessons enjoyable and grew my confidence drastically. With the help from James I was able to pass my test with no faults!

Thank you so much to Simon, he has been an amazing instructor, very patient, calm and always had a positive attitude! Would definitely recommend! He helped me to pass first time and, having been quite anxious initially, has made the experience of driving something I now really enjoy!

Even I have experience as a driver I learned a lot from my instructor Marcio, he was straight on point about the things I should be aware of, well explained with patience, easy to understand, always on time.
Overall great experience! I'd definitely recommend Marcio and Great Western driving academy.

Perfect helping me overcome my fears and nerves. Would recommend to others
Helped with my mistakes on roundabouts, and everything else I was struggling on

Roque is a Really calm and such a nice person to teach me to drive and help me on the way to passing my driving test first time, couldn’t of done it with out all his help pushing me to do better each time and to always stay calm and slow down when learning! I would highly recommend going to him and to great western academy if you are looking for driving lessons, they are very flexible with times

Thank you so much to Wahid for teaching me how to drive and helping me pass my test! 🚗🥹 I genuinely couldn’t have done it without your patience, encouragement and belief in me.

A huge thank you also to Steve, who stepped in and helped me for the last two weeks while Wahid was on holiday. You both played such a big part in getting me test-ready! ❤️

I would highly recommend Great Western Academy — absolutely brilliant driving instructors and a 5⭐️ experience from start to finish! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awful customer service and poor communication
I had a few driving lessons with a lovely instructor, Cruz, who I was very happy with. Unfortunately, I understand Cruz has since left the company. When Cruz left, my details were apparently passed over to Steve to arrange the remaining lessons I needed before my test.

After waiting a week with no communication, I contacted Steve myself and was told he would check the diary and get back to me. Despite my driving test being the following Monday, I received no further response.

The lack of communication and organisation was extremely disappointing, especially when I was so close to my test. In the end, I had to take my test in a car I had never learnt in and without an instructor. Thankfully, I still managed to pass, but this was certainly not thanks to Great Western Academy.

A driving school should provide reliable communication and support, particularly when a learner has a test approaching. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company and would strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you want a driving school that actually communicates with its customers.

Amazing instructor, Steve was very patient, calming and friendly . Would highly recommend. Thank you

Did my lessons with Vlad, and he was brilliant. He helped me to build my confidence after taking an extended break from lessons. He explained things so well and clearly that I was able to pass first time with no minors. Would recommend 100%

Vlad was a great driving instructor and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn in the Swindon area.

Vladimir is a fantastic instructor who taught me everything I needed to pass with 0 minors in less than a month! He is very patient with mistakes and talks you through it properly to insure that you master it.

Wanted to have some refresher lessons. I’m really happy with the experience.
The instructor Rock was patient, supportive and explained everything clearly, making sure I felt comfortable and confident on the road. I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive or looking for some refresher lessons. 🚗👏

Provided great support inside and out of my lessons, included constructive feedback and positive affirmations and encouragement. Simon was a great instructor who was very chatty friendly and always super helpful outside of lessons if there were any worries or questions.

Simon is an absolutely great driving instructor. I always looked forward to my lessons as he made me feel safe, supported and he was always very friendly. After every lesson i always felt i had made good progress and was becoming more confident with my driving and road rules. I would thoroughly recommend!!!
