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

Posted on August 8, 2019 by admin

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!”

Emily Morrow from St. Albans has every right to be very happy because she has just passed her driving test at the Borehamwood DTC.

“I’m relieved,” said Emily outside Borehamwood Driving Test Centre. “Now I will be able to travel to work much quicker and be able to be much more independent.”

Emily passed her driving test with Alec and Driving Memories on her second attempt. She completed a 20 hour intensive course of driving lessons with a driving test immediately following, however unfortunately she wasn’t successful on that first attempt.

So Emily took a further 7 hours of driving lessons with us and passed her driving today with only 3 driver faults.

“My biggest challenge was changing gear,” said Emily. “Alec helped me by teaching me the palming technique and knowing when to change gear – all through practise.”

Emily came to Driving Memories after her experience with a previous driving instructor.

“Compared with my previous driving instructor, Alec explained things in a way which I found much easier to understand and put into practise,” said Emily.

“Well done, Emily,” said Alec, her driving instructor. “Safe driving.”

Cameron’s nerves got the better of him in his first two driving tests, but this time he was cool and calm, securing an impressive pass with very few faults.

“My biggest challenge was feeling confident,” said Cameron, “but Alec, my driving instructor, believed in me and now he’s got me through it!”

“I’ve only been with Alec for driving lessons and I wouldn’t have changed it at all. He’s great!”

“Cameron worked hard to build up his confidence and his driving skills, and today all that effort paid off,” said Alec.
