Driving School Ilminster | Top Rated Customer Reviews

Kelvin White Driving School is a well-respected name when it comes to driving schools in the Ilminster area. Most of their students come from extremely positive word-of-mouth recommendations, which keeps their driving instructors very busy. They have been established since 2001, and have maintained their stop as the top choice of driving school in Ilminster for quite some time.

You want previous pupils to be commending their driving instructor in their feedback, and identifying specific reasons they found the lessons so beneficial. For instance, one popular aspect of the tuition given with Kelvin White Driving School is that it is client-centred. Progression through the course is based completely on the individual student, and you’ll never find yourself being pressured to perform a maneuver you aren’t comfortable with.

When you’re searching for a driving school, recommendations can’t be ignored. Kelvin White Driving School’s website has reviews for each individual instructor on the ‘Meet the Team’ page, as well as a short biography, so you can see exactly what makes each of them so great. Quality is so important when it comes to driving lessons. Unfortunately, it seems to be underestimated, with trends pointing towards people choosing the closest, most convenient and cheapest driving schools on the market.

Distance isn’t an issue, as long as the driving schools includes coverage of your area. It doesn’t matter if they are 1 mile away or 3 miles away, because the vast majority will offer pick up and drop offs at your home for no additional charge. It may be counterintuitive (surely proximity is desirable?), but forget about how far away they are for now.

Low prices can be seductive, especially when they are too good to be true, but you should carefully consider the standard of tuition you’ll be receiving. This is where the past students’ reviews are crucial. You might think you are saving a pretty penny with the affordable driving school you have found, but the trade-off could be that you need double the amount of lessons to obtain your driving licence when compared to a pricier but more experienced driving school. You may end up spending just as much, if not more!

Luckily, Kelvin White Driving School manages to offer a range of packages, discounts and deals, without sacrificing quality. There are different reasonably-priced manual and automatic lesson packages, deals for beginners, bookings made in blocks, and for foreign customers there are familiarisation programmes on offer. Even licence holders who want to refresh their skills have something to gain.

Where to go from here? The best way to proceed is to shop around, visit lots of different websites, read lots of different reviews. Kelvin White Driving School prides itself on having the top tutors in the area, and the syllabus is led by the student. There is a reason they are so highly recommended, which keeps each of their qualified, CRB-checked and registered instructors busy.

Don’t be discouraged by the amount of variables involved in choosing a driving school. Do your research thoroughly, and whether you pick Kelvin White Driving School or go with a competitor, we wish you all the success for the future.

Just a few examples from over 500 reviews of reasons given by learner students for recommending their instructor:

“The most important criteria for me when choosing a Driving School was the quality of lessons that I would receive. My brother also used Kelvin White Driving School.”

“It was really important that I would have a driving instructor that I felt comfortable with. I received many recommendations from friends about Kelvin White Driving School and also saw their good pass rates!”

“I chose Kelvin White Driving School because I wanted a driving school with a good reputation that also had a high pass rate. I also wanted a school that could accommodate my work commitments which the school could do as they have flexible instructors.”

Kelvin White Driving School have been able to build a very reputable reputation for driving lessons in Ilminster by providing customer centred lessons with a strong mission statement of customer success. They rely enormously on recommendations to keep their team of local instructors busy and are extremely grateful to their customers for the reviews they provide.

I have recently just passed my driving test with Kelvin White school and I would love to thank Des for all his help and support along the way! I honestly believe that I wouldn’t had passed if it weren’t for his consistent support, advice and guidance. The hours that he provided me were flexible and suited me perfect. He was very friendly and will make you feel more than comfortable behind the wheel! If there is any elements you are unsure with, he will ensure that he goes over it with you again and again until you feel comfortable with it. He is patient and welcomes you to make mistakes so you can have the option to learn from them! I will miss my lessons with Des but I am so happy that I have finally passed my driving test within my desired time frame, and from this I can now be on the road alone! As stated wouldn’t had done this without Des and honestly cannot recommend him enough! I’d also like to say that the customer services at Kelvin White school were delightful, there’s not a single bad word I could state on my behalf of them, so once again I’d like to say a massive thank you to Des! And Kelvin white Driving schoool!
