Highly recommended!

Oh my god! What a great company! Communication from the start was excellent. Booked a week of intensive driving lessons! Nervous driver but Alan put me at ease straight away! There should be more Alan's out there! First test, made a silly mistake at the end and failed! Managed to get a cancellation quite quickly, Alan to the rescue and passed! The biggest thanks to Alan, not only is he a great instructor he's a great guy, thank you so much ! High recommended!

Thank you so much, Carole, for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It really does mean a great deal to us.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Edward had such a positive experience with Alan. Learning to drive can be a daunting experience, especially in the lead-up to a driving test, so it’s fantastic to know that Alan helped him feel relaxed and confident from the very beginning. He has a brilliant way of putting pupils at ease while giving them the skills and confidence they need to succeed, and we’re incredibly proud to have him on our team.

Although it was understandably disappointing for Edward to miss out on his first test because of one small mistake right at the end, we’re so pleased he didn’t let it knock his confidence. Credit to him for staying positive, getting back behind the wheel, and making the most of the cancellation when it became available. Passing on the second attempt is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to his determination and the hard work he put in.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Alan. We know he’ll be genuinely touched by your comments, especially hearing that he made such a difference to Edward’s experience.

Congratulations to Edward on a very well-deserved pass. We wish him many years of safe, confident and enjoyable driving, and thank you again for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses. Your recommendation means so much to the whole team.

This company is awful you do not get what you pay for and when you try and make complaints you get ignored or given false promises. I’d be very wary of letting your teenage daughters anywhere near these bullying unprofessional instructors.

Do not use ever

After nearly a year of getting a driving test, I gave up hoping for anything. They have no driving instructors. They contract it out. The numbers they state to call are not owned by Bristol and Bath driving course. They are owned by Gamma Holdings Telecom Limited. Probably explains why they don't return phone calls. Only email. Paid alot of money, only just over £200 refunded.

Do not use this company.

Do not use this company.

I paid in full for a 5day course in February to start in April. I have only completed 6hrs in total of this course due to them cancelling and then there communication and rebooking for sessions being inadequate. I eventually gained some ground with trying to sort things out after I had mentioned I would be moving forward with trying to get a refund.
They then decided to tell me that I could only complete the rest of my hours after I had completed my theory test which was still another 3 weeks away. Once this had been discussed I decided to move forward with the refund as this was not adequate and prevented me from driving even longer.
However after this the communication has only gotten worse there has been a total of over 120 emails mostly from my end trying to get this sorted and get my money back and only 2 months later after being told countless times it was in the last stages and was about to be processed have they told me that it will be processed tomorrow. I still did not know how much they were going to refund me so I asked and the decided it was only £480 out of the £1100 I paid upfront. I have since decided to contact the relevant people to sort this and have sent them an email/letter stating that they are in breach of contract and have 14 days to give me a full refund or it will be taken further.

Truthfully where do I start

Truthfully where do I start. Alan was quite literally a god send he took my basic driving ability and in a matter of days refined my skills earning me a first time pass with 3 minors. I cannot thank him enough for teaching me but also more importantly he was a genuine guy who you could tell truly cared for the trade he has taught me things about the road that will keep me safe for a lifetime (hopefully) and moreover Alan Truthfully went above and beyond for me as he has for others in the past and I can guarantee it will continue in the future because that is just the type of man he his.
Genuine guy brilliant teacher. I Truthfully hope everyone can get a instructor like Alan
Once again thank you soo much for your time

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an incredible review.

Reading comments like this genuinely means a lot to us. Alan is an outstanding instructor, and we’re delighted to hear that his patience, knowledge and dedication helped you refine your driving skills and achieve such a fantastic result – a first-time pass with just 3 minors is something to be very proud of!

What really stands out from your review is your recognition of Alan’s commitment, not just to helping pupils pass their test, but to teaching safe driving skills that will stay with them for life. That’s exactly the standard we strive for, and we’re thrilled that your experience reflected that.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Alan – we know he’ll be incredibly grateful to hear them.

Congratulations once again on passing your test, and thank you for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses. We wish you many years of safe, confident and enjoyable driving.

Best wishes,

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! We paid £1500 for a 7 day intensive driving course for April. We were told 2 days before the start that the driver was no longer available but they had found another instructor. He gave one lesson for an hour. 2 days later another 1 hour and a half. It was rubbish.
Over the course of 3 weeks he had a total of 10 hours and was cancelled twice. I think this company is a scam it just takes your money as an introduction to a driving instructor. We have been trying to get our money back for weeks and today he’s trying to say we’ve had more lessons than we had!. I am now going to contact the DVSA and trading standards this man needs to be stopped!!!

We are aware of the concerns raised regarding the instructor involved in your course and understand your frustration.

As previously explained, before we can fully resolve this matter, we need to verify the course hours delivered directly with the instructor. There is currently a discrepancy between the hours you believe were completed and the hours recorded by the instructor, and it is important that we establish the correct position before reaching a final outcome.

We are actively investigating this and have requested confirmation from the instructor. As soon as this process is complete, we will be able to provide a full response and bring this matter to a resolution.

We appreciate your patience while we complete these checks and will update you as soon as we have the necessary information.

I passed my driving test first time with Alan

I passed my driving test first time with Alan. I can’t recommend Alan enough as he is the kindest and best driving instructor of the ones I had. He teaches in a way that makes you feel not only like you are improving but you feel like you are safe and deserve to pass you test at the end. Not only this but it is blindingly obvious when driving with Alan that he cares while heartedly about you and getting you the point where you feel safe and can pass you test. Thank you Alan for making the process so easy and making learning to drive enjoyable.

Hi Archie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you passed your driving test first time — a fantastic achievement and one you should be very proud of.

Your comments about Alan are greatly appreciated. He is an instructor who genuinely cares about his pupils and works hard to create a supportive, positive learning environment, so it’s fantastic to hear that this came across throughout your training. Helping pupils build confidence, feel safe behind the wheel, and enjoy the learning process is exactly what we aim for.

Passing a driving test is about much more than simply meeting the required standard on the day. It’s about developing the skills, confidence, and judgement needed to drive safely for life, and we’re pleased that Alan was able to help you reach that point.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Alan, who I’m sure will be delighted to hear how much you valued his support and guidance.

Congratulations again on passing first time, and we wish you many years of safe and enjoyable driving ahead.

Kind regards,

We are sorry to hear that your daughter was unhappy with her experience.

At the time the course was discontinued, the office had not been made aware of any concerns regarding the instructor or the lessons being delivered. We only became aware of these allegations after the course had been stopped and the formal complaint was received.

The instructor involved is highly experienced and has worked with many pupils over a number of years. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not believe there was any intention to act unprofessionally. However, we take all complaints seriously and are carrying out a full review of the circumstances, including speaking with all parties involved.

As this matter is currently under investigation, it would not be appropriate for us to comment further on the specific allegations in a public forum. We will contact you directly once our review has been completed.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Congratulations on passing your driving test first time — a fantastic achievement and one you should be incredibly proud of.

We are delighted to hear that Tim was able to help make your learning experience such a positive one. We know that learning to drive can feel particularly daunting when you're naturally anxious, so it is great to hear that Tim's calm, patient and supportive approach helped you feel comfortable behind the wheel. Building confidence is such an important part of learning to drive, and it's fantastic that he was able to help you relax, enjoy your lessons and develop the skills needed to pass your test successfully.

At Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses, we believe that every pupil learns differently, and instructors like Tim work hard to adapt their coaching style to suit each individual's needs. Your comments about feeling relaxed, confident and supported perfectly reflect the kind of learning experience we aim to provide.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to Tim, who will be thrilled to hear how much his support meant to you.

Bristol and bath intensive course as a…

Bristol and bath intensive course as a whole was ok. Booking my course was easy but if you had any queries or questions they were fairly slow at replying via email and if you tried to phone them you could never get through. I tried to communicate with them via the online chat on their website and they always replied within minutes. My instructor I was allocated, Kerry Trotman, has been amazing from the first day I started. She is very friendly, approachable and funny and immediately made me feel at ease. This made me feel more relaxed and comfortable which helped me a lot. She has provided me with good ways to remember the different manuvers and sent me videos of these so I can watch them at home to remember. Kerry has made me confident in learning to drive and she is happy to answer any questions I have and to calm me when she has noticed me feeling nervous. I think Kerry has provided me with a high and outstanding service throughout my course. She is hardworking and dedicated to helping the people she teaches and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a driving instructor. My 5 star rating is for my instructor. I'd give 2 for the booking course its self, trying to communicate is very difficult and trying to get a response.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

Firstly, we are delighted to hear about your positive experience with Kerry. We will make sure your comments are passed on to her, as we know she will be extremely pleased to hear how much her support, guidance and encouragement have helped you throughout your course.

Learning to drive can be a daunting experience, particularly in the early stages, so it is fantastic to hear that Kerry was able to help you feel relaxed, comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her friendly and approachable manner, combined with her commitment to helping pupils understand and remember key skills and manoeuvres, is exactly the type of service we aim to provide. We are particularly pleased that the additional resources, videos and explanations helped reinforce your learning outside of lessons and contributed to building your confidence.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding communication from our office. While we are pleased that our live chat service was able to provide prompt responses, we fully acknowledge that our email and telephone response times have not always been where we would like them to be. Over recent months we have been working hard to improve our systems, staffing and communication processes to ensure customers can reach us more easily and receive quicker updates when they need assistance.

Thank you for recognising both the positives and the areas where we can improve. Honest feedback like yours helps us continue developing our service and provides valuable insight for future pupils considering an intensive driving course.

We are grateful that you chose Bristol and Bath Intensive Courses and are especially pleased that Kerry was able to make such a positive impact on your learning journey. We wish you every success with your driving going forward and thank you again for your recommendation.

Kind regards,

The 5 stars I have awarded are…

The 5 stars I have awarded are specifically for the instructor Timothy Fletcher. I have had 4 different instructors in my journey to learn and he is by far the best. He is assertive and strict whilst being clear, calm and polite. Ultimately tho Tims encouragement and positivity are what he is all about. I felt like he was 100% in my corner and attribute my pass largely to his expertise and friendly encouragement. I'd recommend him anytime and have already linked him up with a friend who wants to learn.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

Firstly, congratulations on passing your driving test! We know just how much hard work, commitment and determination goes into learning to drive, and reaching that final goal is a fantastic achievement that nobody can ever take away from you.

We’re especially pleased to hear your comments about Timothy Fletcher. Tim is a highly respected member of our instructor team, and your description of him perfectly captures the qualities that make him such an effective driving instructor. Learning to drive isn’t just about understanding the controls of a vehicle or memorising road signs—it’s about developing confidence, good judgement, safe habits and belief in your own ability. Having an instructor who can guide that process in the right way makes a huge difference.

As you mentioned, Tim has a great ability to strike the balance between being firm and maintaining high standards whilst also remaining calm, patient and approachable. The best instructors understand when to challenge a pupil and when to encourage them, and Tim consistently demonstrates that skill. His goal is always to help learners become safe, confident and independent drivers rather than simply teaching them how to pass a test.

What stands out most from your review is your comment that you felt he was “100% in your corner.” We believe that is one of the most important qualities any driving instructor can have. Learning to drive can be stressful at times and there will inevitably be moments where learners doubt themselves. Having someone beside you who genuinely believes in your ability and supports your progress can make all the difference.

It’s also incredibly rewarding to hear that, having experienced several instructors during your learning journey, Tim stood out so positively. Feedback like this reinforces the value of having instructors who not only possess excellent technical knowledge but who also genuinely care about the success of their pupils.

The fact that you’ve already recommended Tim to a friend is perhaps the greatest compliment an instructor can receive. Personal recommendations are built on trust, and we’re grateful both for your confidence in Tim and for taking the time to share your experience publicly.

Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses. We will make sure Tim sees your review, as we know it will mean a great deal to him.

We wish you many years of safe, enjoyable and confident driving ahead. Enjoy the freedom that comes with having your licence, and thank you once again for your recommendation and support.

Best wishes,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We really appreciate your honest feedback and we are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Kerry.

Kerry is a fantastic instructor and reviews like this truly mean a lot. Her calm, patient and supportive approach is exactly what we aim to provide for every pupil, so it’s wonderful to hear that she helped you feel comfortable, relaxed and confident throughout your lessons. Learning to drive can be a very nerve-racking experience for many people, so knowing that you never felt on edge and always felt supported is brilliant feedback for both Kerry and our team.

We also really appreciate your honesty regarding the waiting time before starting your course. We completely understand that waiting can sometimes feel frustrating, especially with the ongoing nationwide instructor and driving test availability challenges we’ve faced across the UK over the last couple of years. While availability can occasionally impact start times, we are constantly working hard behind the scenes to improve scheduling, recruit more quality instructors and reduce delays wherever possible.

Most importantly though — congratulations on passing and gaining your licence! That is the part that truly matters and we’re so pleased we could help you reach that milestone. Passing your driving test is such a huge achievement and opens up so much freedom and independence moving forward.

Thank you again for your kind words, recommendation and support.

We will make sure Kerry sees your review as we know it will mean a great deal to her personally. We wish you many years of safe, happy and confident driving ahead and thank you once again for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Alan and that you passed first time — huge congratulations from all of us at Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses! 🚗🎉

Alan consistently receives fantastic feedback for his calm, patient and supportive teaching style, and it’s brilliant to hear that he helped you feel comfortable and confident throughout your course. Intensive courses can feel quite full-on at times, so having an instructor who is patient, encouraging and able to adapt the training to the individual pupil really does make all the difference. We’ll make sure your kind comments are passed directly on to him, as feedback like this genuinely means a lot to our instructors.

Passing first time is a fantastic achievement and is always the result of a combination of hard work, commitment and good teamwork between pupil and instructor. Alan will no doubt be really proud of what you achieved during the course.

Thank you as well for taking the time to leave such a positive review and recommendation. Word of mouth and honest feedback are incredibly important to a small independent business like ours, and reviews like this really help reassure future pupils who may be nervous about learning to drive or considering an intensive course for the first time.

We hope you enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with passing your test, and we wish you many years of safe and confident driving ahead.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. We genuinely appreciate your kind words and are absolutely delighted to hear about your experience with Alan and the course overall.

Firstly, huge congratulations on passing your driving test — and doing so just 6 weeks after turning 17 is an incredible achievement. That’s a massive milestone and something you should be really proud of. Passing so quickly takes a combination of commitment from the pupil, quality instruction, and a structured course plan, so it’s brilliant to hear everything came together so successfully for you.

Alan will be especially pleased to read your feedback. He is a highly valued member of our team and consistently goes above and beyond to support pupils not only with the technical side of driving, but also with building confidence, staying calm under pressure, and helping learners feel comfortable behind the wheel. Comments like yours are exactly why instructors like Alan are such an important part of what we do.

We’re also really pleased to hear that you found the course well organised and useful not only for passing the test itself, but for driving independently afterwards. One of our main goals is to help pupils become safe, confident drivers for life — not just prepare them to pass an exam. Intensive courses can be challenging and fast-paced, so ensuring lessons are structured properly and tailored to the individual pupil is incredibly important to us.

It’s especially rewarding to hear that the availability of the course helped you get on the road quickly after turning 17. We know how exciting and important that stage is, whether it’s for independence, work, college, or simply the freedom that comes with driving, so hearing that we helped make that happen for you means a great deal.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses. We truly appreciate your support and wish you many years of safe, enjoyable driving ahead.

Congratulations once again from all the team — and especially Alan! 🚗🎉

Alan was really wonderful

Alan was really wonderful. He built up my confidence nicely early in the week and continued to offer calm and concise advice when I could drive a little more independently as the course went on.

The booking process could use some refinement and communication in advance of the course was sparse. I was panicking the night before starting as I had no confirmed timetable, but I lucked out having Alan assigned as my instructor and I thoroughly appreciate him stepping in last minute to get me test ready.

Would recommend Alan to anyone.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and balanced review.

We are genuinely delighted to hear how positive your experience was with Alan. He is an incredibly calm, patient and dedicated instructor, and it is fantastic to hear that he was able to build your confidence gradually throughout the week whilst adapting his teaching style as you became more independent behind the wheel. Helping pupils go from nervous beginnings to feeling capable and test-ready is exactly what intensive courses are supposed to achieve, so your comments will mean a great deal to him personally.

We also really appreciate your honesty regarding the booking process and communication leading up to the course. We completely understand how stressful it must have felt not having a confirmed timetable until close to the start date, particularly when beginning an intensive course can already feel quite daunting. Although we are pleased we were able to step in and ensure Alan got everything organised and delivered successfully, we absolutely recognise that the lead-up experience should have been smoother and more reassuring for you.

Over the last year we have been making significant improvements to our systems, instructor allocation processes and customer communication procedures specifically to reduce situations like this. Intensive driving courses involve a large amount of coordination between instructors, test availability, pupil schedules and last-minute DVSA changes, but that does not change the importance of keeping customers informed properly throughout the process. Reviews like yours are genuinely valuable because they help highlight where improvements are still needed.

What we are especially pleased about is that, despite the stressful start, Alan was able to turn the experience around for you and help you feel supported, calm and prepared by the end of the course. That says a lot about his professionalism and commitment to his pupils. We are very lucky to have him on the team.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for recognising Alan’s efforts. We will make sure your feedback is passed directly on to him, and we wish you all the very best with your driving going forward and many years of safe and confident driving ahead.

Paid in December for a crash course

Paid in December for a crash course. They cancelled the first course due to unforeseen circumstances, okay things happen, rebooked. They then cancelled 1 day prior to the second course saying the driving instructor couldn't do those dates now. Me and my partner both lost annual leave due to this but we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. They then rebooked me another date with the promise of extra help and that My theory would be done. They then have just left me dry no contact. Again me and my partner have had to take annual leave and unpaid leave. Even the woman on the chat has said it's not acceptable but it's like talking to a wall trying to get any sort of real answers.

Avoid if you don't want to waste your time and money.

Tim really is a fantastic instructor and reviews like this perfectly reflect the kind of support, patience and encouragement he gives to his pupils. Learning to drive can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for many people, especially when trying to do it in a shorter time frame, so hearing that you felt comfortable, supported and able to progress so quickly is brilliant feedback.

Passing within just 3 weeks is an incredible achievement and that comes down not only to Tim’s guidance and teaching style, but also to the hard work and commitment you clearly put in yourself throughout the process. Intensive courses can be demanding, but when the right instructor and pupil come together with the right attitude and structure, they can work extremely well — and it sounds like that was exactly the case here.

We’ll make sure your comments are passed directly on to Tim because instructors genuinely appreciate hearing when they’ve made a positive difference to someone’s confidence and success. It’s easy for instructors to only hear from pupils when something goes wrong, so positive reviews like this really do matter and help recognise the effort they put into supporting learners every day.

Thank you as well for recommending us. Word of mouth and genuine customer feedback are incredibly important to a local business like ours and we truly appreciate it.

We wish you all the very best with your driving going forward and hope you enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with passing your test. Stay safe on the roads and enjoy every moment of it!

Hi Dan,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. We really do appreciate it, and it’s brilliant to hear that you had such a positive experience with Alan throughout your course and training.

Alan will be genuinely pleased to read your comments. He works incredibly hard to make sure pupils feel comfortable, supported, and confident behind the wheel from day one, so hearing that he helped you build the confidence to pass first time means a lot. One of the biggest parts of learning to drive is not just developing the practical skills, but also overcoming nerves and believing in yourself, and it sounds like Alan was able to help you achieve both.

Passing first time is a huge achievement and something you should be really proud of. We know how much time, effort, concentration, and commitment goes into preparing for a driving test, especially on an intensive course, so it’s always rewarding to see that hard work pay off with a successful result.

TERRIBLE AVOID

It is difficult to put into words how bad this company is. PLEASE do not trust them with your booking or your money. I prebooked a week of intensive lessons, paid on booking, was promised an instructor. As time went on it became clear that the company had taken my money (over £1000!) and there was no instructor available! As soon as this was apparent, I requested a refund so that I could book alternate lessons. Subsequently, an email chain of over 20 messages, in which I am promised a refund time again - which still has NOT arrived.

The company are now ignoring my emails and phone calls.

If I could give 0 stars I would

Edit after their response: still unhappy, they sent me a draft email they said they would send to instructors. No proof they sent it to them. And told them not to be racist in front of customers, not asking them not to be racist. Told me my review would harm their instructors who are people of colour and to take it down while they dealt with my complaint, working with a racist will harm them, and once I took it down they ignored me again. They have been ignoring my messages asking for a refund based on not giving me the service I paid for. Don't ever waste your time or money. Fed up of the incompetence

Do not book with this disgusting company. I have been forced to report them and my instructor to the DVSA for inadequate service and extreme racist political views. They are incapable of running a business. I booked my course 2 months in advance. They didn't confirm anything about it until 9pm the night before despite repeated emails requesting information. They did not turn up for my lessons one day of my intensive course, despite my instructor telling me the manager would come instead. This wasted a day of annual leave I had booked for the course. There was no attempt from them to reorganise the hours they didn't provide and I had to email more than 10 times to get this sorted. My instructor promised free hours to make up for this- something that never materialised. Four months after my course after endless emails I finally had those 4 hours I had missed. This meant all my confidence in driving was gone. They didn't sort my theory test out without prompting multiple times. And I have an email thread of 18 emails where I have requested them to sort my practical test, something they said they would do, but eventually have come out and said no they can't. What on earth have I been paying them for???? I asked multiple times and was promised a reply the next day, something that has never happend. They now blame the DVSA and say they can't book tests. They said they would refund me the £62 test fee two weeks ago, this has never materialised despite the manager promising me he would look at that. I have had multiple emails and calls with the manager who has done nothing with my complaints. He says he will call and then never does,he promised me a call Monday evening, then text that actually he was busy.
My next issue is my instructor. I was able to drive after this course, but my knowledge of maneuvers was non existent as he did not teach me this properly, we drove on straight roads and only learnt reverse into a bay. This has absolutely not prepared me for my test, which is what this intensive course is supposed to do. I have had to have multiple other private lessons. My instructor told me he was available for lessons but does not respond to messages. My biggest issue with this company though is that my instructor voiced some very extreme political views that made me feel very uncomfortable. He suggested all deliveroo drivers are brown and so should be knocked off their motorbikes, said "those people should be taken out the gene pool" and multiple times expressed a hatred and wish for injury to cyclists. This is completely inappropriate and I felt very uncomfortable. If you are a person of colour AVOID this company. He also was on his phone whilst I was driving, something that instructors cannot do. This was during a road rage incident where he asked me to chase down cyclists and taxis who had gone past us so he could photograph them.
Overall this company should not be used. They cannot organise a business and protect a racist. Do not give them your money!!!!!!!!!!! You won't get it back even with a serious complaint and promise of a refund.
I have reported them and my instructor to the DVSA
