Testimonials From KISS Drive Pupils

My wife hired KISS instructor Cindy from Southwark and passed her driving test 1st time yesterday. We would like to recommend Cindy to anyone looking for an instructor. My wife was a very anxious student as she has severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following a recent incident. English is also her 2nd language which adds to the challenge. Cindy is fantastic in building up her students confidence. Cindy was always punctual, she got straight down to teaching, not wasting unnecessary time going through theory or talking too much. Most importantly Cindy is a nice friendly person, who's positivity was infectious. Thanks for recommending a genuinely brilliant teacher everyone - and good luck to anyone going for their license!

Huge thanks to my KISS driving instructor John Horner in Aldershot whom without his support and encouragement given during my lessons, I would have never got my level of confidence up. He is a very patient and understanding individual and i would recommend him to anyone. THANKING YOU again John!! ALL THE BEST :)

I started learning to drive four years ago and gave up after I didnt feel my instructor was helping me. I then found KISS driving school online and saw their gallery of how many pupils had passed with them so I decided to get into contact with Martin from Farnborough. He made me feel very comfortable and let me take things at my own pace. If I needed advise, he was there and everything he said made sense - I even passed it onto my partner who now uses some of Martin's techniques! I had 10 lessons with Martin and he got me to pass my test with zero faults which I didnt think was ever possible. Thank you so much to Martin - you helped me get my confidence back and got me to achieve what I had wanted for a long time and we definitely had some laughs along the way. I would recommend Martin to anyone and everyone looking to learn to drive or get back into driving! Thank you again Martin, if only I had you as an instructor 4 years ago! X.

The way that KISS has several methods of learning really helped me, whether that be the amazing one on one sessions with KISS instructor Tony in Bishops Stortford, the brilliant training days with several other instructors in different towns and cities or the simple and easily understandable paper work and the email refreshers. The whole experience was enjoyable and worked around me in terms of times, the length of lessons and what I personally needed to focus on. I honestly do not think that I could have passed as quickly or felt as comfortable with any other driving firm or instructor. After my upcoming exams I am going to take the Pass Plus course with KISS to help improve my driving skills so I can drive to my best ability. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me, you've allowed me to stop getting wet while get several methods of transport to sixth form, and look for jobs further afield. I recommend KISS and especially Tony to everyone, I could not have asked for a more positive experience! Thanks again.

Its always hard to know which driving instructor to use. All I can say is "Gary Foster is the special one" as Jose Mourinho is to football. Top draw.
Luke Barker
The best teacher, companion, friendly, opened and very professional instructor who is passionate about his job is KISS driving instructor Rodney Fyfe from Beckenham. Thanks to him and the driving school KISS for teaching so fast and so good. Best Wishes.
Sindijs
KISS driving instructor Antony is a great teacher, skilful and caring, and is also a cool guy...would highly recommend him.
Nader
I very much enjoyed my lessons with KISS driving instructor Uthayan. I felt quite scared and anxious at first, but I soon became more confident. He was a great instructor and was always patient and understanding.I don't think I would have felt as prepared without his help. It has been a great experience, and I will definitely recommend Uthayan to others. Thank you very much for all the help.
Mathivathany
I really enjoyed my lessons with KISS instructor Michal Nocun from Catford as he really got my confidence up before my test and kept everything very simple and clear for me to remember. As a dyslexic individual I did struggle and had 4 previous instructors none of which compared to Michal! He really prepared me and took his time. He always made me feel positive about driving and made a difference to my life. I recommend him 100% and passed with flying colours yesterday.
Fiona Kane
I had lessons with KISS driving instructor Uthayan, which is best thing I have ever done. He made me feel at ease as i do get very nervous. He also made me feel more confident with my driving and i booked my first driving test yesterday and past with just 2 minors. I was told it was a nice drive .. thank you so much , brilliant driving instructor and I highly recommend him to everyone whom i know and meet . xx
Samantha Ward
I would like to thank my KISS driving instructor Rodney Fyfe from Beckenham and recommend him to anyone who wishes to pass a driving test successfully. I tried different instructors and only when I met Rod did I manage to pass my test. He is fantastic! Very helpful and friendly. Thank you very much for all your help.
Mounir
I'm very happy that I passed my driving test today, because I propably chose the best KISS driving instructor Gary Foster from Cambridge. Gary is a professional, experience and flexible guy. I would recommend Gary to everyone who looking for an GOOD INSTRUCTOR in the Cambridge area. THANK YOU!
Krzysztof Jaworski
I passed my test first time with KISS instructor Tony in Bishops Stortford. Having had a few lessons 4 years prior I knew basics of how to drive. Tony is a great instructor and a great guy. He gave me a lot of confidence when driving and left no stone unturned. He is patient and gave me very helpful feedback during each lesson. Three weeks before my test KISS gave me the chance to be taken out with some other instructors. I think this is a fantastic idea as it gives you experience with a new person in the car to prepare you for your test. I HIGHLY recommend KISS to all and if in the Bishops Stortford area Tony is the instructor you want!
Chris, Stansted Mountfitchet
Thoroughly professional teaching and a calm environment to learn in, I would highly recommend KISS driving instructor Tony to anyone wishing to pass their test in good time and to a very high standard. Thanks.
Ryan Braund
I’m very happy that I passed my driving test today with flying colours on the first attempt! Many thanks to my KISS driving instructor Rodney Fyfe from Beckenham. At first I was going to go for a female instructor but in the end I happened to find Rod in my area and he was absolutely lovely and made me relax when I was driving by giving me giggles as well as professional instructions. I could completely rely on him and learnt quickly as he explained things in the way I could understand easily even though English isn’t my first language. He was also very patient and gave me space to think things myself. He supported me a lot technically as well as emotionally especially when I was nervous on the test day. It was a pleasure to learn from someone who is proud of their job and loving their job. I was very lucky that I found him at KISS driving school. I highly recommend you to choose Rodney if you want to learn how to drive in a friendly, professional and supportive environment.
Azusa
Intensive course is really intensive!! You need to have fully commitment before even signing up for this as it is sometimes emotionally and physically exhausting. KISS driving instructor Kelvin is a top driving instructor, his standards are very high. His methods very effective. I had 30 hours in total and on my first lesson I didn't even know how to handle gear box! So if you really really want to do this- it's great way to get your driving licence in less than 2 weeks. I'm very grateful to Kelvin, he taught me how to drive up to test standard in such a short period of time, he is very patient and never made me feel stupid or that I can't do this. Kelvin's priority is safe driving, if that is yours as well- I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks again to wonderful driving instructor Kelvin Potter and whole KISS Drive team who helped me make one dream come true!
Anete
I passed my driving test first time with my instructor Cindy at KISS Driving School! After a number of failed tests, I was discouraged and did not get behind a wheel again for 4yrs. Last year, I started taking lessons again but did not feel confident in my driving ability. I decided to change my driving school and randomly found Kiss on the internet, who introduced me to my lovely instructor. I'd like to say thanks to Cindy for really encouraging me and helping me to develop confidence in driving. Thanks also to KISS Driving School for introducing me to a great instructor.

I came to KISS instructor Steve in Sawbridgeworth for driving lessons after a long break from driving due to an accident. I was out of practice and a little cautious but keen to pass my test in a short amount of time. Steve took me on a drive to assess my strengths and weaknesses behind the wheel and encouraged me in the areas I felt least confident. He gave me a fair quote for the hours of lessons I needed and was extremely flexible and helpful when organising lessons around my schedule. During the lessons leading up to my test Steve gave me a number of routines to follow that helped me tackle parts of driving that I struggled with the most such as approaching roundabouts and parallel parking. He helped me cope with my nerves and never once raised his voice when I made mistakes, instead just encouraged me to keep trying. He reassured me continuously of my driving ability and sure enough 24 days after my first lesson I passed my test with only 5 minors. I am so glad I've done it and I now hold a full license. I can't wait to get on the road. I'm hugely grateful to Steve for getting me to test standard, I never could have done it without him. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive, his patience and knowledge is invaluable when it comes to passing the test. Thank you Steve!
Sophie
I passed my driving test today and would like to say a big thank you to my KISS driving instructor Gary Foster from Cambridge! He has been a very patient, supportive and flexible instructor. I was able to arrange lessons at short notice and convenient times and he could pick me up from work or home. His confidence in my driving made me relaxed and get over the nerves. I also had a training day in Bishop Stortford and met the rest of the KISS team which was a really good experience. I am so happy to have passed and looking forward to getting a car. Thank you KISS!
Deniz
KISS instructor Cindy from Southwark is a fantastic teacher. Calm and easy going which makes the whole experience much more enjoyable and stress free! I highly recommend her!
Alex
KISS driving school is the perfect place for anyone learning to drive as not only do they help you to eventually pass your driving test they will also improve your knowledge and skills as a driver that you will need in the future. I found my KISS instructor Tony who is based in Bishops Stortford very helpful as he was very patient and friendly. I will miss our driving lessons greatly! Thanks Tony and KISS driving school :)
Bronte
Many thanks to my KISS driving instructor Sharon for helping me pass my test in extra quick time, despite having had a baby a few weeks earlier and moving house on the day of my test. Sharon was a relaxing presence in the car, making everything seem like common sense. Having been nervous before my first lesson, I enjoyed learning to drive and have been enjoying driving since passing my test.
Anna
I am so happy to tell you that, I have passed my driving test on Thursday. I did training with KISS driving instructor Bob from Fulham. I have found him very patient and he taught me easy to follow and successful techniques. I succeeded to master bay parking and reverse corner with only 3-4 times of practise with him. I made 9 mistakes overall, most of them were because of hesitation and not with driving. So I am very very pleased and the manner I was taught. Thank you very much and respected regards to your team.
Ayisha
A big thank you to Tony Wood my KISS Driving instructor from Bishops Stortford. Tony was very helpful and flexible in accommodating my needs, and helped me to focus on areas which I found more challenging. This is particularly true when fitting me in for intensive sessions just before my test. Your friendliness, patience and experience helped me to pass my test with fewer minors than I had expected.
Tom
I would like to thank my KISS driving instructor Sharon in Carshalton for helping me pass my driving test. After failing twice before I had my baby last year, I was lacking in confidence and loosing hope of ever passing the test. Although I was very nervous on the day of the test, having her in the car during the test helped to remind me that I can do it. She made me regain my confidence in driving through encouragement. She has her way of making me feel at ease during the lesson. I would highly recommend her to be your next driving instructor. Many thanks again Sharon and KISS Driving School.
Ria
I just want to say a massive thank you to KISS driving instructor Alan Pace. I couldn't have passed without his help! I had been with two other driving companies before hand and had failed two tests! But having been with KISS for only a couple of months or less and i pass my third test so quickly! It was such a relief to pass and has a positive impact on everyday life. Advice for anyone wanting to drive definitely choose KISS! They are very good at what they do for a reasonable rate too!
Zoe Wilkins
Thank you so much to KISS drving instructor Mike in Feltham! I passed my test on the first attempt with 4 driving faults and I'm absolutely delighted!! Mike (the mother-in-law from hell :-)) was patient and really knows his stuff. A good instructor makes all the difference and Mike is amazing at this. Thanks again, Mike, and thanks KISS!
Jahmo Cottle
KISS Driving Instructor Rodney Fyfe of Beckenham is a driving instructor of a very high calibre, patient and very detailed. He was a laugh to learn from and ensured that i was not only equiped to pass my test but actually knew how to drive. I am grateful for his patience and deligence in ensuring that i learnt a lifeskill that gives me independence.
Lola
Thank you to KISS Driving Instructor Rodney Fyfe of Beckenham for all your good effort and lots of patience for teaching me on the right to drive despite my bad habits in driving and your still there with a friendly way insisting to do the right thing to drive...my friend reccomended you to me for driving lessons and no doubt that I reccomended KISS to my wife and friends specially to my instructor RODNEY FYFE - your so good as i passed on 19-12-2012 at the first attempt with 5 faults in WEST WICKHAM, wishing you more student to come. Cheeerio and Happy New Year!!!
Sergiy Tishchuk
KISS Driving Instructor Alec Geis was an absolute joy to work with and it was his patience, attention to detail and real passion for driving that helped me pass my test. I feel I can write a decent review of Alec because I had two instructors before him, and failed both tests. I found Alec online, read some of his other reviews and gave him a call; I'm so glad that I rang him--I just passed my driving test today in Borehamwood, and he was the guy that prepared me for it.

Where my other two instructors let me down (one was too relaxed and didn't really teach me, and the other was a grumpy guy that barked orders), Alec excelled. He was incredibly friendly, but when it came to the rules of the road, he was firm--a perfect balance for any instructor I think. He quickly assessed what I needed and told me the number of lessons he thought I should have to get me ready for the test date. After having previously failed twice, I wanted to spend A LOT of time behind the wheel to prepare myself. Alec said "Sean, I don't think you need that many lessons. While I do get paid for every lesson, I don't want to take any money off of you unnecessarily." Alec was the professional, and he told me what I needed. He could have milked me for hundreds of pounds of lessons, but he's a guy of integrity and prepared me to the point where I could safely pass and nothing more. He's been an instructor for years, knows the examiners at the test centre by first name and lives just minutes from the test centre itself so he knows the roads intimately.

The most important thing about Alec, though, was that I felt he really cared that I passed. It's just not a job for him, rather, his teaching and helping people drive safely is a passion. I was jittery and nervous waiting in the test centre for the examiner to arrive and the whole 15 minutes that we waited, Alec quietly talked me through the things that I had learned, like a coach giving a pep talk to his star athlete before the big game. He calmed me down and I couldn't have been any more ready. I was probably a particular challenge for Alec, because I originally learned how to drive in America and had a lot of bad habits that needed correcting. So thank you Alec for all of your patience, professionalism and early morning cheer, I couldn't have done it without you.
Sean Gifford
I'd just exchanged my European license for a UK one and had never driven in this country, so I decided to take a few hours just to get used to being on the other side of the gear shifter. KISS driving instructor Dieter was perfect for the job and generally a very pleasant person to be around. He not only helped me build up confidence but also had coherent and reasonable advice regarding the ideal approach to traffic in general. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor, whether for a refreshers course or first-time driving and preparing the exam. He is professional, experienced and a good laugh. The price was also great. My lessons only cost £20/hour and we went on the A3, motorway and through the winding hills of Dorking, so a large variety of driving environments. Go for KISS, definitely!
Serban Anghene
Thank you soo much to my KISS driving instructor Seema in Greenford for all that you did. Even considering what a short time we had together before my test, I felt very comfortable and confident. I just wish I had found you when I first started driving. I feel that the style of teaching you offer would have done a lot more for me than the other instructors I had spent time with and that your system of using dots for visual references was outstanding. Even though you had many things to say about my driving, I never felt that I was being judged or treated in a way that would make me doubt myself. I will recommend you to a number of my friends who are thinking of becoming drivers and hope that you can help them and make the experience as pleasant for them as you did for me. Thank you so very much.
Inshallah Thuillier
I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to my KISS Driving Instructor Rod from Beckenham. When i was looking to get an instructor, i was so scared, as i have heard my friends complain about instructors, and how they don't get on. In my case, i bless the day i met Rod. Firstly, he took away my doubts and fears of driving, he coached me, and imbibed in me good skills of Driving, I will never forget some of his slogans, such as :- New road, New Mirrors, Less Space, Less Speed etc. He is patient, and will insist on you doing the right thing, no cutting corners with Rod, and that has helped, and still helping me a great deal in my day to day driving. I passed at the first attempt with Four Faults, on the 7th of September 2012, at West Wickham. God Bless You Instructor Rodney Fyfe at Beckenham. Thank you.
Seyi Ogunfuye, Catford
I passed my driving test today thanks to my KISS instructor Alec's teaching ability. He knew exactly what pace I could handle and pick up, he also knew when to pressure me and when to let something go. I found his teaching style relaxed but firm. He got me to my test in roughly three months of doing one lesson a week and I had never been behind the wheel of a car before. Now I feel confident to drive any car. I would definitely recommend Alec and KISS driving school to any of my friends or family.
Chris in Borehamwood, Herfordshire
Right from the start KISS driving school has been a pleasure to work with. My experience with one of the KISS driving instructorsTony Moriera from Hayes, is someone that I would highly recommend to friends and anyone else looking to pass their test. Tony was very flexible, booking my first lesson for the same day. I phoned and he managed to fit in 3 lessons as well as making himself available for my test with only one weeks notice to fit it all in! On top of flexibility, his attention to detail and ability to get a message across clearly, adapting to my learning style and speed, really helped me to learn quickly and pass FIRST TIME with only 12-13 hours of lessons. I was so pleased with my experience that even after passing my test I will be booking a few more lesson with Tony to practice motorway and night driving, potentially completing the Pass Plus scheme.
Saul Parkinson
I would like to say a big 'Thank You' to my KISS driving instructor Tony Wood from Bishops Stortford and the KISS driving school. Tony took me from being a timed inexperienced driver to passing my test in one week. Tony was a calm instructor who gave good driving instruction. He gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test. He also went out of his way to re book another test as soon as possible when my first test was cancelled due to a union strike! It feels great to have passed my test after many years of trying. Again many thanks.
Rowena Cooke
I'd like to say a massive thank you to KISS driving school and my instructor Rod from Beckenham for helping me pass my test first time with zero faults. I genuinely can't speak highly enough of Rod. He struck the perfect balance of bringing me along at my own pace while simultaniously keeping me out of my comfort zone and always moving forward. Each lesson felt like it was structured around my personel requirements rather than going through a routine lesson plan. It took me around 40 hours to pass doing one two hour lesson every fortnight (sometimes less). Had I been doing the lessons more regularly I'm positive Rod could have gotten me through in half this time. He's a great bloke to be stuck in a car with for a couple of hours at a time and I have to say I'll miss our lessons. When I passed my test (again, with zero faults :D) He looked as pleased as I did about it. I'll be recommending Rod and KISS to anyone looking to get through their test quickly and with a firm grasp of the rules of the road.
James Brunskill
I really enjoyed my experience as a learning driver with KISS as I got the chance to progress positively as a qualified young driver and work with a very friendly KISS driving instructor Tony Wood from Bishops Stortford and would definitely recommend KISS to anyone looking to learn how to drive and have fun doing it as well.
Solomon
I just want to say thank you to KISS drving instructor Mike (based in Feltham) for all your help and patience. It's been a long process but I've finally made it and I wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for your thorough, professional lessons and helpful advice. Many thanks.
Elisar Sasso
It was quite late in life i decided i wished to learn drive. Upon recommendation i made enquiries about lessons at KISS driving school who had a special offer on four pre-booked lessons, and i was introduced to my KISS driving instructor instructor Rod based in Bekenham . I had never driven a car before, and i was not surprised by Rod's assesment of my driving ability.

I was warned it was going to take many lessons to enable me to pass a driving test. I decided i wanted to drive and began my lessons. As an experienced instructor Rod is an excellent judge of character. During my lessons, he pushed me to achieve my best, and when he noticed i was struggling he would call for a break. All my lessons were adapted to fit my ability and through Rod's patient instruction i was beginning to improve and gain confidence.

KISS also train driving instructors and i was allowed to attend lectures given by Frances at their training venue in Anerley near Crystal Palace. The lectures were very informative and useful in helping me pass my theory exam. In preparation for the day of my driving test, and to acclimatise me to having different people in the car, i was introduced to the other KISS instructors and beneffited from their advise as well as having the oppertunity to drive four other makes of car. I have now passed my driving test thanks to Rod and his team. I enjoy a sense of personal achievment and freedom that driving a car has given me. Looking back on those early lessons, and the difficulties i experienced, i think many other instructors would have given up on teaching me to drive.

My lessons are now over, but Rod has still continued to help me, giving advice on a suitable car to buy, and also helping me search the internet for the best possible insurance deal for a newly quallified driver.
Fraser Gray
I would just like to express my delight on passing my driving test 1st time with only one minor fault on Saturday 22nd Sep 2012. My KISS driving instructor Cindy Connolly in Southwark was amazing! We had 6 hour intensive course and she was able to explain everything thoroughly, giving me a great way of understanding all the "need to knows". Her friendly and patient approach to teaching made a real impact on me and it showed on the test ... I was relaxed and confident, Ian the instuctor who took me for my test at Hither Green was also very impressed and praised the both of us! I was nervous at the begining of this process but thanks to Cindy the whole exprience was an enjoyable one. I will be definitely recomending Cindy and the kiss driving school in future! I cant thank her enough, im so pleased.
Mariam Ziad
I just wanted to say again a big thank you to KISS driving instructor John Horner in Aldershot for all your support and guidance over the past three months which helped me pass my driving test 1st time (with only 7 faults). Trying to fit in driving lessons into a busy commuter schedule is never easy but your flexibility for evening and weekends lessons really helped. Your teaching style is really positive and encouraging. I feel prepared to drive for life not just to pass a test....and I will always remember my mirrors - promise!
Best wishes from Sam McClelland Hodgson
I recently took lessons with KISS drving instructor Cindy in Southwark and passed my test at Hither Green Test Center with only 2 minors. As you can imagine I was very pleased with the result and extremely happy about my lessons with Cindy and wanted to leave feedback. Before Cindy I had taken lessons with another instructor and had changed because a family member had recommended her as they too passed, Cindy quickly realized how much I was missing from my driving skills and she helped me fix what needed to be fixed, I am very thankful for her as I strongly believe that had I not have taken lessons with Cindy I wouldn't have passed my driving test. She is very patient and teaches brilliantly as she adapted to me and my individual needs, I could not have been more prepared for my test and her constant reassuring, calming and positive attitude towards taking the test was extremely helpful and this helped me get through it as calmly as possible. Cindy's skills as a teacher are fantastic!! I would be more then happy to recommend her to to other leaner drivers. Miss Sihem Choukri.
Miss Sihem Choukri
I would highly recommend going with KISS rather than one of the bigger companies. I did an intensive driving course as I wanted to pass quickly. My instructor was lovely and made me feel very comfortable as I was a nervous learner. I received a very personalised service and we went at my pace which all led to me passing first time- thanks to KISS driving school Instructor Nazia in Upper Norwood, London.
Fiona
Thanks to KISS driving instructor in Greenford, Seema, I passed my test with only 4 minor faults. Previously, I had taken lessons with 3 different instructors and failed twice. Taking lessons with Seema allowed me to build up my confidence while improving my skills steadily. I only took 10 hrs of lessons with her, yet my test score improved from 2 serious faults and 10 minor faults to just 4 minor faults. I am very happy to have had lessons with her and I can recommend her highly.
Rin
Just a quick note to thank all at Kiss driving school and especially Neil Turner from Wimbourne for all your help in achieving a pass for the instructional Exam known as the Part 3 Exam on the 23rd Jan 2012. I did my part 1 (theory) & part 2 (practical driving test) with a very large (colourful) company, I found their training expensive and completely inadequate. I was in a very dark tunnel and didn't know which way to turn , luckily I found the Kiss website while trawling, I rang Neil for a chat and arranged some one to one training, the training fees are very flexible,no contracts like the larger company's,and if need be pay as you go, because every-ones circumstances are different.

If you find yourself in the same situation or are thinking about training to become an ADI take the time for a phone call it will save you time and money,.at Kiss they do exactly what they say 'Keep it Simple systems',which helped me cut through all the nonsense that other larger schools impose on budding PDI's to validate their extortionate course fees,I am now awaiting the arrival of my green badge (yee-ha) & have taken on a Kiss franchise myself (also a fraction of what other 'larger' companies cost). Many many thanks.
Mike Biggs, ADI, Portland, Dorset
To ‘Keep It Simple,’ my driving experience went from one extreme to the other.  After not passing first time due to my sheer lack of confidence, I was advised to change instructors.  It seemed that driving was not meant for me…or so I thought.

After hearing through many friends how AMAZING ‘KISS’ was, I decided to call Alan, who taught my good friend Maria who passed first time with him. From the moment I contacted him, I knew this company was unbelieveably efficient and focused on building their pupils’ confidence.

After the first lesson, I realised how I had made the wrong decisions and should have gone with KISS from the beginning! I had gained so much confidence by talking to Alan about why I feared driving, and he completely changed my perspective on things.

Alan identified my weakness as being the fear of having someone I didnt know sitting next to me while I was driving. So Alan took me along to a couple of KISS ADI training days at Camberley,   This enabled me to experience having another instructor sitting next to me, giving me different routes and challenges – just like a real test – which really helped my confidence.  After a few weeks, it became a routine and it was just as if I was driving with friends.

With the consistent help and support from Alan and KISS, I passed with 6 driving faults which I am very thrilled with! 
THANK YOU!
Lauren Brainch, Camberley, Berkshire
I had put off learning to drive for seven years for loads of reasons but largely due to the fact that I didn’t think I would be any good at it. However, my job suddenly made it a neccessity and through spotting a KISS car on my road I gave them a call. They were really friendly and quickly put me on to Jim Robinson who became my instructor. From our first phonecall Jim seemed flexible and friendly. On my first lesson he made me feel relaxed even though I was convinced I was rubbish, he reassured me all mistakes were part of the process.

Jim filled me with confidence and taught me everything at my own pace and let me ask as many questions as many times as I liked (which was alot!) He seemed to recognise the kind of learner I was and made sure our sessions worked for me. I never thought I would have enjoyed learning to drive but it was great and after only six months of teaching I past my test, first time! This was totally due to Jim and his chilled out approach, feeling like he had faith in me made a huge difference.
Ellie, Aldershot, Hampshire
I had previously began my driving lessons with a different company, my driving instructor was like any other and I took my practical driving test in Farnborough in the March after almost a year of learning at an hour a week. I failed with a serious fault. After this I didn’t want to go back to my old driving instructor and so I tried KISS Driving School. A friend of mine had learnt with them and passed first time. I had driving lessons from James Robinson which went really well, he made me feel more confident behind the wheel and I learnt more control than I had learnt from my previous instructor. Under James’s tutelage I took another practical driving test in February of this year and passed with only a few minors! James and KISS helped me develop my driving better than the average driving school, and I now feel confident driving on a daily basis, thanks James and KISS!!!!
Cormac Hoare, Aldershot, Hampshire
Hi, I’m James Robinson KISS Driving Instructor in Aldershot and I would like to thank everyone at KISS IT Ltd for the quality of training I have received from beginning to end of the Approved Driving Instructor (A.D.I) course. The whole qualifying process was fun and first class all the way through. The whole amosphere is very friendly with everyone helping in whatever way they can.

I managed to pass each of the 3 parts of the course at the first attempt – I put this down to the quality of the training – as well as a lot of effort on my part! I would like to thank all my trainers and an especially BIG thank you to Kaye, who was a great help coming up to my Part III test. I know she will become a fantastic ORDIT trainer.

Anyone looking to become a driving instructor should not even think of training with any other organisation than KISS IT. Thank you all.
James Robinson, Aldershot, Hampshire: James began his training in February 2010 and qualified in November 2010.
WELL DONE JAMES FROM ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AT KISS AND KISS IT LTD
Hello, I am Hamaira and I passed my Part III exam today at Hayes test centre. I am one of the local KISS Driving Instructors in Wembley. I trained with KISS IT Ltd . I’m very happy with KISS driving school, they have the best Driving Instructors, friendly and always welcoming. I had lots of help and support when I needed it! I would recommend any one looking to become a Driving Instructor to train with KISS IT. I would like to thank my ORDIT trainers, Rob, Sharon and Mike. My fellow Instructors and all my friends and colleagues who helped me through my training. I am so HAPPY !!!

Hamaira from Wembly passed Part III in November 2010.

Hamaira, you were a joy to teach. Always well prepared for each training session, you deserve your green badge and the title of Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). From all at KISS Driving School and KISS Instructor Training xxxxx
I have come to Steve after a disastrous experience with BSM. I thought that I wouldn’t need much training since I am a fully qualified driver back in my country but the instructor from BSM decided that I should re-learn how to drive and not only adapt to UK standards. On the other hand, Steve’s approach was exactly the opposite. For starts, he understood what my needs were and instead of treating me as new driver, he worked on my weakness and points that would fail me on the test. The result was very successfully as I passed my first test with only one minor drive fault. Lessons with Steve were a pleasure as he is nice, attentive, patient, friendly and not to mention very experienced instructor. When he is in the car with you, he will dedicate his full attention to you and give you the confidence you will need to pass your test. Meanwhile with those “big names” schools, your instructor is too busy arranging other lessons if not having their lunch while trying to teach you. If you not only want to pass your test but also want to learn how to drive safely and confidently then Steve is your guy. " Thank you once again!

Learning with Kiss really made learning to drive a lot simpler than I'd first thought; I was taught at a pace that suited me and James always explained everything in a way I could understand. I found his teaching style great because it was laid back, whilst still managing to teach me loads every lesson. I only had just over 20 hours of lessons and I passed first time, so it is definitely good value for money! I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Kiss and I'd recommend it to anyone. Thanks again for teaching me, really glad I passed first time!!

Just a quick note to say that I passed my practical test at the Isleworth test centre today with 6 minor faults. It was my first attempt and was after 40 hours of lessons with Daisy who taught me from a beginner with no prior driving experience. She was a very good instructor who taught me everything I needed to know and I felt fully prepared for the test. I would just like to thank Daisy and KISS driving school for helping me pass. Thanks again.
