I have had the pleasure of training with Smart Drive for a career change. They have been very supportive from start to finish. I have been qualified almost a year now and they are still there should I need any support. I did additional training with Mike Fowler, so now I not only teach pupils to drive but also train a trainer too. I would definitely recommend Smart Drive to anyone that is looking at becoming a driving instructor

Mike the main man!

I had the pleasure of being mentored by Mike Fowler- Mike was amazing, full of energy, passion, knowledge and always there to support me via calls or emails- Mike is a true inspiration who always knew what to say and how to motivate you through the highs and lows of becoming an ADI.

Thanks again Mike

Successful outcomes

I had the pleasure of training with Smart driving for a career change. The entire training took about 18 months which I believe is average. The support that I received during those months was excellent, questions were always answered quickly and professionally and if I needed extra support it was always there, including working closely with Mike Fowler who is the head trainer at Smart Driving. I’ve now gone onto my trainer courses which means I’m now ready to start training prospective driving instructors.

I re-trained with SmartDriving over the last 2-years. The online training for Parts 1, 2 and 3 is simplistic and very easy to follow.

I was given the opportunity to work with Mike Fowler for my Part 2 and 3 training; which was individually personalised for my success.

Smartdrive and Mike give fantastic assurances and guarantees for your success.

I am now fully qualified again and was offered additional training by Mike Fowler to become a PDI trainer. This has led to further success for me!

Big shoutout to SmartDrive and Mike Fowler. Great company!

I joined Drive around 2 years ago

I joined Drive around 2 years ago , needed a career change and wasn't sure which way to turn and here I am loving the role of teaching the youngsters to drive , most parents want the job done quickly to pass the test but I explain I'm teaching them a life long serious subject DRIVING and they get it . Drive have supported me from day 1 , they really do like to guide you through and give you the relevant help you need with online training and zoom meetings training sessions one on one with Mike is a winner , and you get all the relevant books you need . It tool me 4 months to do my part 1 a further 5 months to do part 2 and now I'm a fully qualified ADI best job ever . Be patient in waiting times for tests and study hard, skip nothing . I know 100% DRIVE have THE MOST UP TO DATE training you can get out there and have been questioned by other driving instructors on my knowledge and they very often say ' wow that's spot on ' . I now train PDIs for their part2 and part3 .

I have been with SmartDriving since 10/2019. I have always found the team supportive & encouraging from the beginning of my journey with them, through my training and since I qualified as an ADI in 03/2022. Various staff have been there for me, and I am grateful to the team for all they do.

Great experience

In my quest for a career change, the idea of becoming a Driving Instructor appealed to me because of the flexibility and the opportunity to work freelance. After researching, comparing, and consulting with various driving school companies, I chose Smart Driving for its value for money.
They offer exceptional training with high-quality Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs), and their staff are supportive and accessible.
Although I am now an independent ADI, they have trained me to the best of my ability.
My experience with Smart Driving/Drive Driving School has been delightful. I highly recommend Smart Driving/Drive Company's training program to anyone aspiring to become a Driving Instructor.

Quality training, value for money, immense support and fabulous career development

I wanted to write and thank Drive for their continued support throughout my journey to becoming a driving instructor and continued professional development after. The training was fantastic; it included clear, very extensive online training, face to face in car training and online group workshops. I felt confident and well prepared for all 3 parts of my ADI training and was rewarded with first time passes in all 3 areas. I was very excited to become a fully qualified ADI and my diary has been consistently full with quality pupils. Mike Fowler - Senior Trainer for Drive, has been exceptionally supportive regarding further career development and put me forward for Train the Trainer training which has then seen me become an in car
instructor for PDIs as well as delivering online training and supporting as a mentor, and for that I am very grateful. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't all been easy, but if you are prepared to put in the hard graft, the rewards are immense. I love my job, thank you Team Drive

After a long career in the police and…

I had a long career in the police and after retiring I was looking for something different. A friend suggested that they felt my voice and personality lent itself to education. I did look at schools however Isaw an ad for driver training and decided to look into it. There were a number of "schools" of which I researched I chose Smartdriving and am so glad I did. The training was comprehensive and any problems I had either of a technical or learnig material I was given full support. Support which continues to this day as a qualified ADI. I cannot praise them high enough.

Great training and support

I chose smartdriving to help me qualify to become a driving instructor because there advert stood out to me. I didn't want to go with the AA, Red or more established companies. I wanted value for money and quality in the training. I found the course content very good and easy to follow. Becoming a driving instructor is very hard work but having the backing and support on hand all the time is very reassuring. Although I have now gone independent I wouldn't have made it to this point without smartdriving. Would 100% recommend them through my experience.

This is one of the biggest scam driving…

This is one of the biggest scam driving school on the planet, they are ripping people off, they are based on lies, they talk to you and nice to you until they scam you and take your money then they ignore you and don’t even bother to answer your call. Please please don’t ever think about to give your money to these scammers Go and do your driving lessons with other driving school not theses scammers, they have provide false information on the phone to me when I spoke to them back in February this year but when I joined and made the deposit it was completely different from what they are offering. I know so many people that have been scammed by this company including myself, please please don’t make a same mistake as we did. If there was 0 stars I would have giving it to them because they deserve it 😡😡😡

Hello Ashkan,

I am sorry to read you are unhappy with the service you have received thus far; however, I'd like to take this opportunity to address the points raised in this review to prevent our company from being represented unfairly.

"This is one of the biggest scam driving school on the planet." We are a VAT and ORDIT (DVSA) registered training provider. We treat all trainees with respect and offer extremely high standards of support. I am unsure how you have reached the conclusion that we are a scam company.

"and don't even bother to answer your call." We have a dedicated support team that is available Monday through Friday, 9–5. If a call is missed, we will contact you back as soon as possible.

In reference to what you were "promised," as we have discussed with you, the course you paid for was what has been provided to you. The things you requested would have been offered at a higher price than what you paid.

We have been flexible with our approach to your timescales on the course, offering 2 extensions to ensure you had enough time to complete your studies. I would also like to highlight, regarding your training, that the terms and conditions you signed and agreed to clearly explain how it is delivered.

We also have a policy, which we are clear about, that if you are unable to attend a training session, you must provide us with 48 hours notice, and if you don't, the session will be deemed taken.

Despite you needing to cancel your training session on short notice, we requested evidence of your reasons and offered to reschedule the session, even though, due to the short notice we received from yourself, we were financially responsible for the missed session.

You accepted recently that you had agreed to the terms and had access to all of this information.

Since our conversation, where we reached an agreement on steps to help you move forward with our support, you have submitted a fraudulent chargeback against our company and have made unfounded claims on this and other platforms.

Kind Regards,
SmartDriving

5 Star Company

Found the training programme extremely beneficial with great support from the staff throughout. About to start my trainee licence and have received all the info necessary including how they’re marketing for me.

Five stars couldn’t recommend the company enough!

Amazing instructor

Had a 10 hour intensive course with Mike Noakes as my instructor and cannot recommend highly enough. Passed first time and this is mainly due to him; Very professional, calm and reassuring, Mike prioritised areas for improvement quickly and had me test ready in no time.

It is all fraud . one star is too many for their service ! If you want to become an instructor driver please think it over, they are not a good company . Drive and smart Driving they both are same company so don’t put yourself in fraud

I have just qualified as an ADI and it was a fantastic experienced indeed. Lessons were very straightforward and easily accessible. Group sessions were very informative and conducted in a highly professional manner. Support was excellent and not a single moment I felt that I was on my own all throughout the course.
Thank you Smartdriving.
