What our learners say about learning with us
EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Chris MalburnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent 6 months learning with Dave last year, and passed my test a few weeks ago, and I was pleasantly surprised to pass first time! I was quite nervous when I started, but Dave is very calm and friendly, and his concise way of explaining things really helped me to keep focussed while driving, especially in the first few lessons. From our conversations during lessons, it's clear that Dave is one of the most experienced and qualified driving instructors in Merseyside. As well as instructing for many years, he's also been an examiner for the DVSA, worked for the police, and has spent lots of time on bikes and motorcycles too, so he has the depth and breadth of knowledge to get you through the test AND to become a safe driver after your test. Dave ensured that I had an opportunity to learn skills which are important for safe driving but not tested for - have gave me lots of opportunities to navigate for myself during driving lessons and drive on the motorway. Many driving instructors for larger driving schools are PDIs, but as a higher-qualified ADI Dave was able to take me onto the motorways and through the Mersey tunnels. This experience has already come in very useful, as I have felt confident enough to do the 2.5 hour drive from Liverpool to visit family in the midlands only a month after passing my test. I'm a bit older than the average learner at 30+, so it was important to me that I could hit the ground running and share the driving equally with my partner on longer trips, and learning with Dave really helped me to do that. I did some lessons with other instructors when I was 17, and didn't have a very good experience, but having an instructor who really knows their stuff and can communicate it well makes all the difference! Dave prepared me so well that even though I was sick on the day of my test and felt awful I still made it through! If you've tried other instructors and something isn't quite clicking, I'd recommend giving Dave and his colleagues a try! I had a few "Aha!" moments, and you might too...Posted on Joe EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always progressing each lesson getting better and better. Helped me to pass in just over 18 hours of learning, couldn’t have wished for a better instructor. Worth every penny!

Susie is an incredible driving instructor and incredible person person She is the best out there, has so much knowledge she is also an amazing person and very easy to get on with I will miss out lessons together wish you all the best 😁Posted on Eve DowdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend Dave to anyone! He is the best instructor and is really understanding and patient especially considering i’m currently on the ASD pathway. He made me feel comfortable within the first lesson and gave me the confidence to drive and as a result i passed my test first time with two minors. Thanks so much Dave, couldn’t have asked for a better instructorPosted on Ethan MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passed my test first time with Dave Really good and good teacher would highly recommendPosted on willTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Hey guy if you need that candid feedback that will make you pass your driving test at the first trial, then reach out to Dave from Ready to Pass Driver Training. I had a one time mock session with him, he pointed out what I needed to work on especially the roundabouts with give way signs and the test was a walk in the park. Thanks Dave.

Driving Fault Workshops
Supporting Driving Instructors Across the Region
We don’t just train learners — we also support driving instructors who want to sharpen their fault awareness, improve pupil outcomes, and reduce avoidable test faults.
In February 2026, we’re running a five-week Driving Fault Workshop series for instructors from the Wirral, Chester, and North Wales. Hosted locally in Wallasey, these workshops bring together instructors who are serious about improving standards, consistency, and pass rates.
Rather than lectures, the sessions are collaborative and practical, encouraging instructors to work through real-world driving faults and assessment challenges together. Throughout the workshops, discussion is guided by Susie and Dave — both former DVSA driving test examiners — using our structured Driving Fault Guide as a professional framework.
With instructors already attending from across the region, the workshops reflect a shared commitment to:
Better understanding how faults develop
Reducing unnecessary driving faults on test
Improving consistency between lesson and test performance
Developing confidence in fault identification and coaching
We believe instructors learn best when they think, question, and problem-solve together — supported by clear examiner insight and DVSA-aligned standards.
📌 Future workshops will be planned, and interest from local instructors is always welcome.
This same fault-awareness approach is used in all of our learner driving lessons.
