Practical Driving Test Centre and Theory Test Centre Reviews
Although driving examiner get a bad press , I had my driving test a year ago, with a very experienced and professional examiner called Paul, although approaching retirement, remained very professional, and put me at ease with very clear instructions, his calm and professional approach allow me to concentrate on the test, thanks to Paul's dedication to professionalism i passed 1st time.
I've had my exam yesterday, my examiner was Ms. Hazel , I've had no prior information about the driving centre nor did i read any reviews about it or it's examiners before hand, but from my experience taking my test with Ms Hazel i can say that i personally felt that she was fair in her judgement , i did not find her to be anything but professional, she wasn't intimidating or unclear in her directions, if anything whenever i was feeling very nervous she would engage in conversation with me and tried to make me feel comfortable, evan offered advice, due to that fact i managed to pass on my first try.
All in all i had a great experience and would like to give a special thanks to Ms Hazel and Colwick test centre
Thank you.
My son recently failed his test at TW test centre. He believes he drove well (and I know, as we have many hours together – he's self-assured and highly competent, a natural if you like). He felt coerced to access a roundabout when cars were moving around it already by an examiner who was obviously just in a filthy mood. He was given a 'serious' for hesitation after executing a perfect drive. I know my son would have explained (likely to have annoyed an already irksome individual) that there was obvious risk in pulling out like one of those boy racer types (exactly what should be discouraged). It really is a case of whom you get as much as how well you can drive. Some of these examiners are simply unpleasant people.
A massive thank you to Road Train for helping me pass today! Special thanks to my instructor Michael for building my confidence, and to Caroline and Chris for helping with my reversing and to the office team for their support. As a nervous learner, the instructors were fantastic at putting me at ease. They taught me not just to pass, but to be a safe, skilled driver. Office communication was spot on. A training provider that genuinely cares about your success.
