Mike Joannou

I highly recommend BDS. The communication was clear throughout to let me know how my course would take place. My instructor, Mike, was experienced, patient and friendly. Mike encouraged me during my 20-hour course and gave me the confidence to pass first time with zero minors.

Thank you so much to my instructor Mike. Mike was so patient and calming, yet very informative and helped me so much. Now I've passed my test I'll miss our lessons! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BDS driving school and Mike.

Absolutely amazing..... After having trouble with another company.... BDS managed to fit me in last minute My instructor was Mike he was very patient very supportive very clear with instructions..... Its amazing how much I learnt from him in such a short space of time.... Its a shame I didn't have my full journey with him... And today I passed my test first time... I couldn't have done it without Mike.... Thank you so much xx

I would highly recommend using B.D.S driving school. they are a very welcoming and friendly team and allowed me to work at my own pace. would like to say a big thank you to mike for all your patience and guidance. will be in touch soon as its now the wife's turn.

I passed my driving test first time with Mike, he was brilliant, so understanding and patient, explained everything in full detail and always encouraged me every step of the way. definitely give 5 stars . Would highly recommend Mike and BDS to anyone. Thank-you again to Mike for everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a great time learning to drive with my instructor Mike who took the time to teach me with the time I had and I passed my test after trying for so long definitely would recommend Blackpool Driving School

Passed my test today after a 20hour automatic crash course with Mike highly recommend 👌 I had previously done 2 tests prior and just didn't feel ready or confident. Mike was so calm and understanding he went through everything in such fine detail and went through things I just didn't understand. I 100% recommend Mike. I'm so excited to finally be able to get a car and enjoy family days out. Once again thankyou very much Mike 🥰 =

Well what can I say apart from the fact that BDS smashed it out the park on helping me pass my driving test ..my instructor mike was the driving force behind it all ..taught me everything i needed to know and was so helpful and guided me in the most professional way possible with a calm a relaxed atmosphere ..loved his little Hyundi i20 car so comfortable and easy to drive ..but yeah massive thanks to Mike for everything as without him a don't think I would have passed my test the guy is amazing and a credit to BDS ..thank you to everyone behind the scenes also as you all made this happen and help me pass my test ..thanks a lot guys ..kind regards Derek

My intensive course was with Mike Joannou, what an unbelievable man assisted me with what I needed, listened to where I felt I needed help and ensured I persevered with it. Kept me on course all week, any hiccups I had he made me repeat until it stuck. I passed with no minors and I couldn’t be happier. Mike also took time with me on a personal level and built a rapport with me regarding anything and everything really. Great experience, perfect result.

I highly recommend BDS. Mike my instructor was on top of everything and with very high standards for lessons. Mike is going to hand over to you 30+ years of driving and teaching experience, couldn't have asked for more. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Mike Joannou is by far the best driving instructor in Blackpool I seriously recommend this guy on behalf of BDS. I passed first time 11.11am on Friday thanks to Mark, he really is a delight to learn from and such a peoples person and a lovely man.

Mike Joannou has been a fantastic instructor, taught me driving skills for life and very patient. I couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend anyone enough in Blackpool than himself. A really nice car and always clean and tidy. His professionalism is great and he definitely knows his stuff.

Passed first time with instructor Mike. Thanks so much BDS 👍

Mike was an absolute star! Every weakness we found in my driving, he highlighted gently and with a great deal of empathy. Thanks to Mike's excellent teaching I passed my test first time. If you listen to a BDS instructor and give them your all you will pass, FACT.

I recently completed my driving lessons at BDS, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. My driving tutor, Mike Joannu, was outstanding—without a doubt one of the best in Blackpool. He not only maintained a calm demeanour and showcased extensive experience but also skilfully worked around my weaknesses in driving. His tailored approach ensured that I was thoroughly prepared to pass my driving test on the first attempt. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking for top-notch instruction and support. Thank you, Mike, for helping me achieve my driving goals! 😊

Thank you to Donna and Mike I passed me my driving test very easily and quickly! It was a very positive experience and I enjoyed every minute. He was very very helpful and supported me all the way through. I couldn’t recommend this place anymore if I tried! Amazing time

I had Mike as an instructor he advised me on the the hours that I would need this was more than enough and was able to pass first time with his help and support. Excellent company to learn with

Passed first try on an intense course with the Lovely Mike. I chose BDS as they had the shortest waiting list over any school around Blackpool and I am so happy I was given Mike. He is genuinely the nicest guy I have ever met. He is so calm and patient and chill. He explains things so well, in good detail. And when I had to cancel a lesson on the day due to sickness he was so lovely about it. Didn't make me feel bad about it at all. Just wished me to get better soon. He's just a big cuddly teddy bear and I've loved getting to know him over the week course. The company is very professional and helps as much as possible and finds ways around any issues that arise. Highly recommend.
