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.

Parents regularly tell us they value our professional approach, clear communication, and the reassurance that their child is learning to drive properly — with patience, structure, and safety at the heart of every lesson.

Driving Fault Workshops For Driving Instructors
Supporting Driving Instructors Across the Region
At Ready To Pass Driver Training we don’t just train learners — we also support driving instructors who want to improve fault awareness, strengthen pupil outcomes, and reduce avoidable driving test faults.
In February 2026 we ran a five-week Driving Fault Workshop series for instructors from the Wirral, Chester, and North Wales. Hosted locally in Wallasey, these sessions bring together instructors who are committed to improving teaching standards, lesson consistency, and first-time pass rates.
Rather than lecture-style training, the workshops are practical and collaborative. Instructors work through real-world driving faults and assessment challenges together, guided by Susie and Dave — both former DVSA driving test examiners — using our structured Driving Fault Guide as a professional framework.
Instructors attending the workshops share a common goal of:
- Understanding how driving faults develop
- Reducing unnecessary faults during driving tests
- Improving consistency between lesson performance and test performance
- Building confidence in identifying and coaching driving faults
We believe instructors develop best when they think, question, and problem-solve together, supported by clear examiner insight and DVSA-aligned standards.
Future Workshops
Future workshops are planned, and interest from local driving instructors is always welcome.
The same fault-awareness approach used in these workshops forms a key part of our learner driving lessons.
