The Driving Genie Team Testimonials

Doug

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"After spending 28.5 years as a Police Officer, I decided that on my retirement, I would like to become a driving instructor so that I can pass on to new drivers, the experience and skills that I have obtained during my career.

On doing some research, I contacted the Driving Genie after seeing one of their cars and on meeting Vikki I was confident that I had made the right choice.

My 40 hours of required training after I have passed my theory and practical test was all on 1 on 1 basis, which a lot of other companies don't do.

Vikki provides a very comprehensive and detailed training in a very relaxed learning environment and passing on her vast experience and explains things very well and has supported me during my journey.

I would highly recommend completing your driver training with The Driving Genie Ltd."

"I always wanted to become a Driving Instructor, but was not sure where to go and find the best training locally to myself. I met Jonny and Ross when Jonny was looking to purchase a new vehicle as Jonny had just qualified as and ADI instructor. I was then put in touch with Vikki from The Driving Genie. Ross and Vikki both coached myself for the Part 2 and 3 parts to become an ADI.

The training was Fantastic and Fun and I would walk away after each lesson feeling awesome and confident, but I was also having a good time doing so. They are all friendly and supportive team at the Driving Genie and they take your teaching at a pace that you feel confident and comfortable with. All my training was done 1 on 1 in my vehicle and I have always had the safety net of not only Vikki, but also the whole Driving Genie team. I am now a fully qualified ADI and would highly recommend The Driving Genie team to begin your journey on becoming a Driving instructor. That is a 5 Star review all the way through the process from Myself.⭐"

“I started my Driving Instructor training journey with another Driving School, who are Nationwide. I found there to be very little in the way of support. I’d heard that The Driving Genie were doing great things, so I spoke to their trainer, Jamie, at great lengths about my training. After that, I decided to make the switch and I couldn’t be happier! Vikki and the team are always happy to help and advise, they are very personable. With the great reputation The Driving Genie has, I feel privileged to be a part of this high performing school.”

Ross

“I decided to join The Driving Genie for my Instructor training, as they were the most upfront and transparent company. I’ve completed my training at a really fast pace, as I wanted to qualify asap. My trainer Jamie always took it at a pace that worked for me, without me feeling under any added pressure. Vikki occasionally sat in on my training sessions, to ensure everything was running to plan. Both her and Jamie are always available to answer any questions about my training, or when I started teaching, to give extra support. I’ve been given all the right tools to be a great Instructor, but always been encouraged to develop my own teaching style. My diary is always full and I’ve always felt encouraged and supported throughout.”

Jamie

“I’ve been a Driving Instructor for over 9 years, and ran as an independent school for most of those. I wanted to become part of a team and I knew of The Driving Genie and had heard great things about them. I was travelling quite long distances for many of my lessons and also wanted to stay more local. The Driving Genie have kept my diary full and all within my local area. The team are great and we quite often meet up, swap ideas and generally have some fun! I get much more instructor training work now too, and I love the mix of learners and PDI’s (Potential Driving Instructors) as it gives me variation and sense of satisfaction. I definitely made the right decision and would recommend The Driving Genie to anyone wanting to join a supportive forward-thinking school.”

Jay

“Massive thanks to The Driving Genie (to the whole team) for helping me pass my ADI part three test. Initially, I was thinking of joining one of the big national companies to do my part three training but looking back I am very glad that I decided to join a local one – The Driving Genie.

It has been a brilliant experience for me. One of the benefits of choosing The Driving Genie was that I had a great chance of passing my ADI part three test first time (which I did with an excellent mark). This is because the school offers 100% practical one-to-one in car training.

Furthermore, the school functions as a team. Other friendly and more experienced driving instructors are there to provide help and support. I benefited massively from this because having a few different perspectives on the same subject have enriched my knowledge and understanding of that topic.

I would absolutely and highly recommend The Driving Genie for anyone learning to drive, as well as to those who want to become a driving instructor.”

Abdin

“My journey to be a driving instructor started with The Driving Genie, even before the Part 1 and all the way to the Part 3. I think every one knows that ADI tests are not that easy, but I passed them all on my first attempt. This wouldn’t have happened without the support from the wonderful team Vikki, Jamie, Ross and Jay. Vikki was always ready to sit in my lessons and give the feedback I need and her door was always open for me. I’m so lucky to be with the Driving Genie.

From the day I got my pink licence I am always being asked the question: “Do you need more students?” So my diary is always full.

My decision to be with the Driving Genie was one the best, so thank you for accepting me as part of your team.”

Jonny

“I wanted to become a Driving Instructor and wasn’t sure where to turn to find the best training local to me, then I was put in touch with The Driving Genie. Vikki and Ross coached me through my part 2 and 3. 

The training was fantastic and I would walk away after every lesson feeling not only had I learnt a lot, but also had a good time doing so. They are a friendly team and take the teaching at whatever pace you are comfortable with. 

All my training was 1 to 1 in car, and being added to the team I immediately had the safety net of not only Vikki, but all of the other instructors in the team to fall back on, if I had any questions or anything I wasn’t sure about. 

I’d like to thank the team for the 5* experience.”

Marcelo

“I’m more than happy to recommend The Driving Genie if you are thinking of becoming a Driving Instructor. I’ve been on this journey since 2021, as I started my training with a different Instructor school. I then decided to change my training company, so I moved across to The Driving Genie to get through the process and was the best decision I made, everyone in the group are friendly and helpful. I can’t thank Vikki and Ross enough for all the training and support they have given me. Now I’m a fully qualified instructor thanks to them and enjoying being part of the team!”

Amna

“I started my journey to becoming a Driving Instructor not knowing very much about the industry and being overwhelmed with so many training options to choose from. I then came across The Driving Genie and contacted Vikki to talk about starting my journey. As soon as I met Vikki, I knew I had made the right choice! She immediately makes you feel at ease and ensures that she is there throughout every part of your journey. Whether through one to one lessons or by being at the other end of the phone. I also had the pleasure of receiving some of my training from Ross. Both Vikki and Ross have a wealth of experience and knowledge and make training an enjoyable experience. Training with The Driving Genie also brings the benefit of a wide support community. With both fully qualified Instructors and other trainees, who gladly share their knowledge, tips and tales, which has helped me on my way. I am so pleased to be part of the team. If you’re thinking of training as a Driving Instructor, I would strongly recommend Vikki at The Driving Genie Ltd."

“After over 20 years in the construction industry, I wanted a complete change of career. Having had my teenage daughter go through the driving lesson process (and struggle with her learning.) I decided I wanted to help other learner drivers to pass their test. I contacted Vikki at The Driving Genie after seeing them around the local area and adverts on their Facebook page. From our initial meeting, to completing my part 1 Theory, Part 2 practical and purchasing my car, I received excellent guidance and advice throughout the whole process. Thanks to the excellent practical tuition from Vikki and Ross, I have now passed my final Part 3 Driver Instructor practical with The Driving Genie. The level of help, support and encouragement has been fantastic! With group chats, team building meet ups and always having the other instructors to discuss any queries with, I could not have asked for more. I am so glad I chose The Driving Genie to start my Instructor career and highly recommend this company.”

Tony

I had previously spent 29 years in the Catering Industry. During that time I worked with many people from different backgrounds and got a taste for the passing of knowledge and enjoyed it.

When a family member went through the experience and journey of passing her driving test it appealed to me straight away.

I contacted Vikki and after meeting up with her, I felt that The Driving Genie would be the best company for me to receive Driving Instructor Training.

All of my 40hrs of training were one to one in the car and both Vikki and Ross were fantastic and patient with me, especially when I struggled to grasp certain aspects.

Other members of The Driving Genie family were incredibly supportive too, with the exchange of experiences and knowledge.

I am now a fully qualified Driving Instructor and I would highly recommend The Driving Genie to begin your career as a Driving Instructor.

I truly feel that if I can achieve this, then so can you!

5 star recommendation from me!
