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!”

He will teach you exactly how to pass your test.“

Praise From The Driving Examiner

Driving Lessons in Hatfield

After passing his practical driving test today at Borehamwood DTC, Temi Ariyo from Hatfield is now looking forward to a new career as an emergency paramedic ambulance driver – thanks to his driving lessons with Driving Memories.

Moving From Automatic To Manual

Temi already had an automatic-only driving licence, and came to Driving Memories for lessons to re-train on a manual, so that he could get a fully unrestricted driving licence and join the emergency services.

“It feels very amazing to have passed my driving test,” said Temi outside the driving test centre. “As an ambulance driver, I need to drive carefully and safely on the road.”

“Temi was a pleasure to re-train,” said Alec, his driving instructor with Driving Memories. “Temi could not drive an ambulance with a restricted, automatic-only driving licence.

“Temi passed his test on the second attempt with me, getting just 2 driver faults. Well done Temi!”

A big chunk of those 20 hours of driving lessons for Temi focused on getting comfortable with the clutch and gears, after years only driving automatic vehicles.

Losing Bad Driving Habits

“But some of that time,” explained Alec, “was spent teaching Temi new habits, and getting rid of some old ones.”

“My biggest challenge was taking away my had habits when driving, but Alec helped me get there,” said Temi.

Praise & Recommendation

Temi has nothing but praise for Alec’s training during his driving lessons.

“Alec is a very amazing driving instructor,” said Temi. “He’s very chatty but very good at getting you right to where you need to be with good driving on the road.

“I would recommend him to my friends and family. He’s the best driving instructor. Very funny and amazing sense of humour.”

“Thank you, Temi,” said Alec. “I wish you every success in your new career, and many years of safe and happy motoring.”
