Customer Testimonial

Since the very beginning BDS have been great to work with, prompt in helping with queries and getting things arranged. I did a 30-hour intensive course with Liz and passed first time with 7 minors. While the title of the course ‘intensive’ does give away the fact it’s intense, I still underestimated how intense and tiring it would be - however, very much worth it. The progress I made just on the first day alone outweighed any of the previous experience I had through other instructors when doing weekly lessons. I think you rebound so much faster when making mistakes on this course as opposed to just doing weekly courses, and for this reason think it makes it a much more effective way to learn - given that you’re prepared for the intensity. Liz was wonderful throughout! She always arrived on time each morning and was chatty and friendly through all the sessions. I found the app she used on her iPad to explain certain roads and roundabouts helpful as I was able to visualise certain things before attempting them. I felt very comfortable with Liz and would definitely recommend her! Thanks so much to Liz & BDS!

I would 110% recommend BDS Driving School. my instructor Liz Mckenzie was by far the best. Me and my fiancée have passed first time, within a month of each other. I booked in for a 20 hour intense week course and passed first time. Liz made me feel so confident from the moment I sat behind the wheel and she really helped me find my confidence ( something I’ve always struggled with) Also felt like I’ve known her for years and felt more like a friend was teaching me. Thank you so so so much , I couldn’t have done it without you. Best money I’ve ever spent ☺️

I would definitely recommend BDS to anybody who is looking to learn to drive. Thanks to the team who have sorted everything out from the start to finish. Liz is a fantastic instructor who has got me to a first time pass on a 15 hour course. Thanks again to you all.

I did 20 hour manual course with Liz Mckenzie, would recommend to anyone who is in need of passing quickly and also wants to learn properly, I passed first attempt. So the proof is in the pudding!

Over the moon to have passed my test earlier in the week. I’d like to thank BDS Driving school and in particular my excellent instructor liz who I now regard as my friend. Liz is fantastic very patient, and her experience and knowledge and calming influence were major factors in getting me to pass. Once again heartfelt thanks to BDS and the wonderful liz, I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor she is amazing. 😀

BDS were really fabulous, I should of had my course at the start of lockdown, throughout the whole time they kept me informed of everything that they could. My instructor Liz was really patient with me, I don’t always follow the normal way of thinking and Liz adapted to my way of thinking which made my experience so much better, Liz always stayed calm during each session. Liz made the experience very pleasant and enjoyable I am very much looking forward to getting myself a car. Thanks you BDS and thank you so much Liz

Would 100% recommend BDS for anyone wanting to learn to drive. Had Liz as my instructor and can honestly say I don’t think I would’ve passed without her. Massive thank you to all of the members at BDS especially Donna for arranging the course and test which fit around me.

Would highly recommend BDS, I done a 25 hour course in 5 days and Liz my instructor was really good, I did start with another driving school but after so many lessons I wasn’t getting anywhere, so it’s definitely worth it thank you Liz and everyone at BDS

I would like to say a huge thank you to Liz, she has been absolutely brilliant with me, I would definitely 100% recommend BDS to anybody, Thank you again Liz see you around

I had Liz as a driving instructor and found that she is really good with everything, made me feel comfortable from the second I got into her car and thought me some new skills for driving and good tips. I managed to pass my driving test on my first attempt thanks to Liz and I appreciate everything she has done for me, I wish Liz all the best in the future and hope to see her again sometime.

Liz was amazing she was so patient and help me so much with my nervous and anxiety and help me stay calm and relax and she really made me feel like I could pass and told me what I was good at and gave me confidence she’s amazing Instructor definitely recommend

My driving instructor Liz was absolutely amazing, helped me fix every single bad habit i had effectively, highly recommend

I started driving lessons with BDS back in August 2020 but due to the pandemic it made it take longer for me to be ready for a test. Liz taught me the whole way through and I couldn’t thank her enough for all of the support she offered throughout! I definitely wouldn’t have passed or gained the confidence I did without Liz! Also a massive thank you to Donna for constantly trying to find a cancellation for me! Amazing customer service! Would 10000% recommend.

I highly recommend the instructor Liz Holding for any intensive courses!! I've LOVED learning in her brand new Mazda 3 too with all the cool features😍 (auto handbrake, windscreen HUD, parking camera, etc) I had a 20hr intensive course over one week, and Liz gave me the confidence, skills, and knowledge to pass first time, having only ridden motorbikes before. If anyone is thinking about an intensive course, look no further. Get yourself booked in with Liz ASAP!!

Did a ten hour driving course with Liz and passed after having licence revoked very friendly and useful tips couldn’t rate her enough

Liz was a great driving instructor. Made the process enjoyable and provided great insight and advice to help me progress my skills ready for the test. B.D.S. made the process prior to starting lessons really easy. Great experience!

I passed first time with BDS with 0 faults after a 25 hour course. Thoroughly enjoyed the lessons; massive thanks to Liz and the rest of the team at BDS for their hard work!

Couldn’t fault Liz at all, she kept me calm, had me laughing and was a really good teacher. I passed first time today after a 20 hour course and owe it all to Liz! Thank you so much! Xx

I passed my test with BDS, my instructor was Liz and she was fantastic from the second I sat in the drivers seat, although I had plenty of past experience I was no where near the standard required and thanks to Liz’s knowledge and patience I was ready in time for my test and I successfully passed. For anyone that is nearly test ready I highly recommend an intense course with Liz

Really good driving school! I had a 15 hour intensive course with Liz, who is one of the instructors. She was a great teacher from start to finish and helped me achieve a first time pass. I would recommend BDS to anyone really good driving school!

BDS were great for fitting me in with last minute courses and tests. Very efficient and helpful the whole way along and quick to respond to any messages. I was lucky to get a cancellation for an intensive course and a test date booked in a week before, which was amazing! I took lessons with Liz, who created a calm and relaxed space and taught me how to drive properly, not just how to pass the test. She is honest and friendly and I am very grateful for her patience with me, especially at the beginning as it took me some time to get the hang of it of the basics. Highly recommended and couldn't thank her and Donna at BDS for helping me achieve the freedom that driving brings.

I passed today after completing the 25 hour fast pass driving course with Liz my instructor. It was my 3rd test, after a year of driving lessons with a different driving school and a years break. I started out with little confidence but Liz believed in me from the start. I felt instantly at ease with Liz and had learnt so much within even the first hour, thanks to her wealth of knowledge and experience. She taught and communicated to me in a way that helped me remember the things I needed to improve on, which I really valued. My confidence quickly grew and I felt prepared for my test. I still had test day nerves but Liz calmed me down and reassured me every step of the way. I can’t thank Liz and BDS enough. Thank you!

I had such a great experience with Blackpool driving school, I passed first time with my brilliant instructor, Liz. She is a great instructor I learnt so much from her in such a short time! I took a 30 hour course and felt super confident by the time my test came. Thank you!

Excellent driving school, great communication from Donna, Liz was always on time and an excellent teacher, highly recommend, thank you!

I had liz for my driving course and she helped me pass first time, liz is the best driving instructor I’ve had and has helped me massively to pass

I struggled quite a bit to get confident with driving, and with finding an instructor that I felt comfortable with. Liz was just who I needed. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

I had Liz as my driving instructor, she was very patient with me and all my faults during but we got them straightened out and I managed to pass my test!

I have spent 15 hours with Liz and what can I say she has been a rock of support for me she has given me the kick up the back side that was needed to get me passed first time and also thank you to Donna for the smooth and efficient way in which you dealt with our booking
