Pelican
School of Motoring

"By far the best"

"Steve was very patient and encouraging with helping me learn to drive. His teaching was not only excellent but he also nurtured the learner with his very pleasant attitude. I had had two other driving instructors before I came to Pelican School of Motoring, but Pelican were by far the best. Jan was always very helpful on the phone and a pleasure to talk to. I  am delighted to have passed my test. Steve also helped me to pass the Pass Plus. I would definitey recommend Steve and Pelican to anyone. I would like to say a big thank you to both of you for helping me to pass."

"I actually will miss my weekly lessons"

"I would really love to thank Pelican from the bottom of my heart. Jan was so friendly and helpful on the phone. I felt I had known her for ages - like talking to a friend. Steve really is a genius and a truly lovely man - the best instructor. His dedication, determination and patience really helped me. He really concentrated on my problem areas and helped me focus.

Steve was totally reliable and even after a flooding incident he still managed to conduct my lesson. Having lessons with Steve was like having lessons with an old friend who really cared and showed genuine interest.

Although I have been driving for years, and after my unfortunate incident, I really appreciate all Steve has done for me, he really has made me a better driver. I actually will miss my weekly lessons.

I have never felt so comfortable with someone teaching me to do something before, I really thought that I was going to feel patronised and awkward when I learnt that I would have to redo my test, but thanks to my chat with Jan on the phone and Steve's lovely nature I really feel I have learnt to drive 'properly' all over again.

The overall service I received from both Steve and Jan was second to none, and I almost feel like part of the Pelican family.

Again, thank you both so much for giving me my career and freedom back.

As the younger generation say, 'you rock'.

"Good lessons, I recommend Pelican"

"I had heard good things about Pelican, and they met all my expectations. I chose them because learning to drive safely was the most important thing to me. My instructor Steve made sure that I progressed at a good rate, and as soon as I felt comfortable with a particular aspect then we would move on to the next thing. My lessons were good and if you are thinking of learning to drive then I would recommend Pelican."

"I had such a great time learning with Pelican"

"I had such a great time learning with Pelican. The lessons were easy going and my instructor was very patient. I would recommend Pelican to anyone interested in high quality driving instruction.Thank you so much! Passed first time! YAY!"

"I would definitely recommend Pelican to anyone"

"My driving instructor was always very calm and patient with me and made me feel relaxed in the car. My instructor knew my weaknesses and helped me improve so I could pass my test first time. Pelican was very reliable and I felt prepared for my driving test due to the knowledge my instructor had around the test centre and the test itself. Thank you for all your guidance and teaching and I would definitely recommend Pelican to anyone :-)"

"I would not hesitate to recommend Pelican"

"I was very pleased to pass my test on my first attempt after just 18 weeks.  Steve's tuition was always calm and helpful, with a pleasant manner - and completely reliable.  

One of the reasons that led me to choose Pelican was their availability on weekends. Throughout my learning period, Steve seemed to know just how to word things to stress their importance and fix them in memory.  

In the weeks leading up to the test we comprehensively covered the area where the test was due to take place so he could point out any idiosyncrasies in signage and road layout.  I always felt Steve was completely engaged in my learning process and my abilities increased at a good rate throughout - I never felt any frustration with any facet of driving.  

For these reasons I would not hesitate to recommend Pelican to anyone looking to learn to drive."

"Best driving school in the locality"

"Best driving school in locality.  Very reliable, on time and flexible. Pelican was very suitable for my working hours and they made my driving hours easy. They are reliable and worth the money!"

"I wanted someone who would understand my specific needs"

"I was always made to feel comfortable on my driving lessons. As an older driver, I wanted someone who would understand my specific needs. Steve was always prompt and I felt he was genuinely interested in helping me pass my test. He was very knowledgeable, patient, pleasant, and helped instill the confidence in me that I needed to pass the test."

"Professional, always on time"

Professional, always on time, friendly and catered to my driving needs. Having had two different driving instructors prior to using Pelican, they were more helpful, reliable and professional than the others. I successfully passed my driving test with my instructors help, and had plenty of guidance of support."

"The standard of teaching was fantastic"

"Pelican School of Motoring provided a personal feel which many other driving schools did not. Pelican offered me what other schools failed to when enquiring about lessons which was a friendly voice at the end of the phone that obviously cared for my custom. I feel the standard of teaching was fantastic and the preparation  for my test was very good which gave me a very realistic idea of what to expect.

Steve also offered advice for my theory test and I was impressed that the school had materials I could use for preparation. Furthermore I feel that this standard of teaching helped me progress very swiftly  which proved to be cost effective for me. Also the prices were very competitive and I feel that they were very reasonable for the standard of teaching."

"Reliable and good value for money"

"I wanted an instructor who was reliable and gave me good value for money, and I got that with Pelican. My instructor Steve was a genuinely nice guy. He showed interest in me and was eager to see me make progress. In summary, Pelican were reliable, I made great progress, and they showed 100% interest. I would have no hesitation in recommending them; in fact I already have."
