Liam is a great individual, with a huge sense of humour and a very jolly character! He has the perfect balance between professionalism and chilled posture. Always has a way to teach that suits everyone and makes each lesson be not only fun and relaxed, but also very productive! Each lesson we feel that we gained lots of new knowledge and skill sets that will for sure help when driving withou Liam! His teachings, tips and advice are inspirational and easy to remember, giving everyone the enough confidence to drive like a pro!
Would recommend 100%! Driving-pro, the name says it all!

Jo was an amazing instructor, I couldn’t have asked for better. I was extremely nervous to start and during my first few lessons, but Jo put me at ease and made me gain confidence a lot faster than I would have expected. It made such a difference to have someone who I felt comfortable with and was not afraid to make mistakes in front of. I’m so happy to have passed and would recommend Jo to anyone thinking about starting lessons in Gosport!

I signed up for refresher lessons with Liam after a long time away from driving. He was very helpful and always started lessons by asking what I wanted to get out of the lesson. Really helped with gaining confidence on the roads. Would recommend this driving school.

I passed recently with Nigel as my instructor. I cannot recommend driving-pro and Nigel enough. A very patient style of teaching with very clear and thorough instructions. The conversations were always good too and many laughs and discussions were had in the car. Driving never felt like a daunting task when I was doing my lessons.

I started lessons with Mark after previously having a different instructor who made me extremely anxious about driving. Mark was super calm and encouraging and built my confidence back up quickly. He is a great instructor and really makes sure you get the most out of lessons. He also helped me to prepare for my test last-minute due to the lockdown and I ended up passing first time because of all the extra hours he put in for me. Would definitely recommend!

Passed recently with one minor after having lessons with Nigel. Really good teaching and help with my driving with everything from manoeuvres to confusing roads and roundabouts. Enjoyed every lesson with Nigel and think it would have been impossible to drive without him! Now I’m on my own I feel confident and safe driving and know that I can use the tips and advice I was given during my lessons. Would really recommend.

As much as I didn't hire them for my Test due to lack of availability in my day, I highly recommend the company due to the professionalism with which they attended me, answering all my questions and giving me lots of precious information for my test day. It shows that they love what they do. And who love what does, does it very well. Congratulations on the efficiency and professionalism.

I did my instructor training with Glen Robbins ,he was professional ,friendly and did it all with good humour he made everything clear and easy to understand and made the whole process a pleasure , everything was pitched at my level and ability The support I got from the rest of the driving pro team was excellent . One of the things that was really good was that my training was all done in the area I was going to be working in , so at the end of each day I was able to go back to my own home and prepare for the next day . I would definitely recommend Glen to anybody thinking of training to become a driving instructor . Thanks a million Glen .

I am one of the key workers who joined NHS during peak pandemic last year and was driving on my international driving license that was valid for a year. Covid has changed lives of us all and key workers are no exception, but to make things grave ... I struggled to arrange and appear for my theory test . It was rescheduled 8 times till I was lucky to get past it. My Trust was kind enough to manage a practical test for me before my international driving license became invalid.
Here was the catch!!!
Had 2 weeks and I was hunting for a driving instructor to polish me and get me rid off bad habits we all have.
I was seriously worried about my commuting and more so on calls ( off hours work). I called many driving schools just to hear a blatant “NO” that they aren’t taking classes despite confirming that I am a key worker , my test is booked in 2 weeks and I have relevant documentation to prove that they would not land in trouble giving me lessons!!
I had lost hope and honestly was feeling bad that do we as key workers just deserve claps and not support when we need. I was left with one last number and I called hopelessly anticipating another “NO”. But to my surprise it was a “Yessss”.
My driving classes were timed and scheduled and with my work pattern I managed to take about 7 lessons from Daniel Farr , my amazing driving instructor. First lesson he observed and made notes of what he had to work on and how we can achieve considering time restraints and short notice of test. I have no words to describe his patience , composure and guidance to refine me with mnemonics , signposting, prompts and by 4th or 5 th lesson I was feeling I have shed off quite a bit of my mistakes that I wondered would take months to lay off. Covid was a blessing and since driving instructors aren’t allowed with pupils during exam. He took me all over to make me know the roads and learning points pertaining to the vantage with assumption that Should I be taken anywhere I should be confident and ready. Fine tuning and ways to avoid scoring minors was another cherry on cake that was a part of lessons and practice so that I should be doing things in one go.
This day as we drive to the centre
One final lesson.. Be natural and think today Danny is off and it’s his colleague (examiner) sitting next to you.. just drive thinking it’s Danny (Daniel) and you will be comfortable and won’t have a Formula 1 race in your chest and your head would be cool .
I imbibed all what I was guided knowing this was my only chance and if I lose , not only I won’t get a close by date and will have problems doing my job.
Sometimes it’s good to make your mind as a blank canvas and just follow the directions to paint.
I did what Daniel guided and I passed my Practical test in 1st go and became among 47% who pass the test first time. All Thanks to Daniel Farr my Driving instructor or excellence and team Driving pro who nodded “YES” when everyone else declined.
I recommend Daniel Farr completely and I would give 5 * to Driving-pro.com

Passed first time with Jo with only 3 minors. I traveled all the way from Chichester to learn in Gosport as Jo was worth every penny and second travelling. I had previously had bad experiences with a previous instructor who had put me off of driving a lot. Jo was so supportive and gave me confidence back making me enjoy driving lessons rather than dreading the thought of them. I am so thankful for meeting Jo and shall be recommending her to everyone I know.

Working with Danny Farr I passed first time and with only a handful of lessons. Danny made me feel like I was learning with a life long friend, very relaxed, patient and could make a hour fly past making the lesson fun.
From the minute I’d get in the car to the minute I’d get out Danny was very professional in the way he teaches but also had a way of making the lesson calm.
I would highly recommend using Danny as your driving instructor.

Passed first time, with only 4 minors today after having lessons with Greg for quite some time now! Started last year, had a break and came back to it just after lockdown restrictions were lifted. He's been so good with me, patient and calm. He helped me calm my nerves when I was just starting out, and always gave me time to fixy mistake before having to step in if he needed too. He truly is an amazing instructor and although I'm very happy to have passed my test, I will miss my weekly lessons! Thank you so much Greg!

I took a few refresher driving lessons as I haven't been driving for over 4 years. Within a week I went from being scared to drive in the car park to driving on the motorway and all different types of the most uncomfortable roads. Liam is a great instructor, very patient, helpful and definitely pays a lot of attention to safety. This time I was taught how to drive, not only how to pass the exam.

Mark.... what can I say other than I can’t recommend him enough!
Personally there was a lot of aspects which I felt would hinder my ability to learn how to drive and I was very nervous before my first lesson.
I didn't think that I would be able to learn to drive , let alone a manual but he's such a brilliant teacher.
He adapted the lessons to best suit my needs as well as helped to build my confidence in my abilities, all whilst being very friendly, professional and a great person to be around!
I will continue to recommend him to anyone that I know, that wants to learn to drive.
Take just one lesson and see how it goes.. I passed my test first time and I was so happy but honestly can say that I will miss our lessons ????

Greg is a Great Instructor, always calm & patient, you can easily tell how expert he is as it's always difficult to train an old driver, he was able to pick up all the things I don't do right, and gave always a full analytic feedback which didn't help me to pass from the first time but more confident on the road too.

I read a lot of reviews online when I decided to learn to drive in my 50s. I chose Liam and Driving Pro based on the reviews that others had written. I feel I made a good choice.
Liam is a great instructor and I feel I am progressing well. He is happy for me to learn at my own pace and is very patient.
I am happy to recommend him to others.

I have had Doug patiently and safely mentor me through the journey that is learning to drive. I couldn't have asked for a kinder more understanding teacher. He hasn't just passed on the skill of driving he has passed on his attitude and values with regards to driving, which is humbling and has set me up for my driving life. I highly recommend Doug and the company to anyone wishing to obtain thorough authentic driving skill! Thank you sir!

I just passed today with 5 minors and I owe it all to Greg. Greg has been the best driving instructor I could have possibly wished for. I started off very afraid and nervous but Greg always made me feel safe and his teaching style and calm demeanour really helped build my confidence up. I feel like I'm a completely new driver and I'm so grateful to Greg for never giving up on me. Thanks so much again Greg for your patience and amazing teaching!
