Driving School Borehamwood – “Perfect Balance Between Quick and Ready” Says Craig

Driving School in Borehamwood

You can’t blame Craig Bolden for looking happy here – after all, he’d just passed his first practical driving test at Borehamwood DTC on Tuesday with just four driver faults. Well done Craig!

“It feels amazing!” said Craig outside the driving test centre after passing his test. “I normally suffer with nerves, but Alec ensured I was focused and calm before starting my driving test.

“When I was told I’ve passed, it was such a release of emotion!”

Craig is a teacher at Hertswood Academy in Borehamwood, however his family lives mainly in Kent.

Giving His Wife A Well Deserved Break!

“Now that I have passed my driving test, I can go and visit them much more frequently, as well as give my wife a well deserved break on the long journey!”

Smart thinking, Craig!

Craig passed his test after just 14 hours of driving lessons with Driving Memories, however it wasn’t all plain sailing for him: Craig’s wife and father-in-law also gave him some informal lessons.

“That was actually my biggest challenge,” said Craig. “Whilst I of course appreciate their help, it added barriers of learning through conflicting messages. Alec was brilliant in breaking down those barriers with clarity and simplicity.”

Craig enjoyed his time learning to drive with Alec, his driving instructor at Driving Memories.

“Alec loves to build personalised engaging relationships,” said Craig, “He gets to know his students and then adapts the training accordingly. Also his use of repetition to ensure learning is retained is exemplary.”

And as a teacher himself, Craig knows what he’s talking about!

As with all of the pupils who learn with Driving Memories, Craig will have some great, lasting memories of his experience learning to drive. We think you should really enjoy that time in your life – and not just think about it as a test you need to pass.

Happy Driving Memories

“I will always remember my time learning to drive with Alec and Driving Memories,” said Craig. “He’s been a lot of fun, but also every single minute is dedicated to intense learning in his lessons.”

It comes as no surprise, then, that Craig highly recommends Driving Memories and Alec to anybody who wants to learn to drive in Borehamwood.

Recommendation

“Alec will not waste a single lesson and strikes the perfect balance between ensuring you take your test as quickly as possible, but not until you are ready.

“From what I’ve heard of other driving instructors, this is not always the case!”

“Thank you Craig,” said Alec. “I wish you many years of happy and safe motoring. Congratulations once again!”

“Well done, Amy!” said Alec, her driving instructor.

So why does Amy think her friends should choose Alec as their driving instructor in Borehamwood? The answer is simple:

Driving School Borehamwood – “Fantastic!” says Aaron O’Hagan

Well done to Aaron O’Hagan from Borehamwood, who passed his driving test yesterday, Tuesday October 9th 2018.

Aaron did really well, with only 1 driver fault on his first test attempt at Borehamwood Driving Test Centre (DTC).

“My driving licence will enable me to get to work much easier,” said Aaron.

Aaron’s biggest challenge was going slowly and taking his time, which his driving instructor, Alec, helped him overcome.

“He came to me as his local instructor,” said Alec. “After assessing his needs, I devised a programme for him and worked strictly to it”

Aaron recommends that his friends should also choose Alec and Driving Memories to help them pass the test. Why? “Alec is a nice guy,” said Aaron.

Congratulations Aaron! Safe and happy driving.

Driving Instructor Borehamwood – “Passing my test with Alec was absolutely brilliant!” says Taz

Congratulations to Taz Peltz from Borehamwood, who passed his driving test today at the Borehamwood Driving Test Centre (DTC) with only 8 driver faults.

Taz passed with a lot help from his instructor, Alec, who went the extra mile to help him because of one fundamental problem: Taz is too short to reach the pedals! Alec solved this by building a false floor for the driver’s side of the car.

“My biggest challenge was my height,” says Taz. “False floors really helped, although arm length is still a slight issue!”

“It feels absolutely brilliant to have passed my test,” explains Taz. “Passing my driving test has opened up my social life and I will be able to help my parents with school runs.”

Taz is happy to recommend friends to choose Alec and Driving Memories to get their driving licenses. “He stays calm and collected, even in the worst situations.”
