Hi, just wanted to say a BIG BIG thankyou to yourself, Billy and Colin, for getting Ben through his test. As you know he had only had 2 hours of tuition before coming to you for his intensive course. I am also so grateful that you got him a test date within 10 days of me contacting you (the best the other company's I contacted could do was a month later )... He passed with only 6 minors against him and was so chuffed.
 I have recommended you to all I know ...even if their child is still in nappies !!
 Keep up the fantastic work

STOP PRESS! FANTASTIC RESULT 2 IN 2 DAYS! DRIVING INSTRUCTOR PAMELA KILLEN GETS HER FIRST STUDENT PASS WITH ZERO DRIVING FAULTS AT HAMILTON TEST CENTRE ON SATURDAY 17TH MAY 2008, MAKING IT 4 ZERO FAULT PASSES FOR ON BOARD TRAINING. THIS IS A CREDIT TO PAMELA AND HER STUDENT TO ACHIEVE THIS RESULT. PAMELA IS ANOTHER INSTRUCTOR WHO HAS RECEIVED ALL HER TRAINING FROM ON BOARD TRAINING AND LIKE ALL OUR INSTRUCTORS, IS CONTINUING TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY HER INSTRUCTIONAL ABILITIES BUT ALSO HER OWN DRIVING TO PASS HER SKILLS ON TO HER STUDENTS.   

Driving Instructor Colin Pettigrew makes it a 'hat trick' for on board training! Thursday 15th May 2008 saw Colin get his first student to pass with a ZERO fault test at Shieldhall Test Centre. This is the third time on board training Instructors have had a student pass the learner test with ZERO faults marked on test. The DSA reckon a ZERO fault test may only occur on 1:10,000 tests. The other instructors to achieve this with on board training are Brian Smith co-founder of the driving school and Brian Gray who received all his training from on board training. This is a credit to Colin and his student who have worked hard to achieve this well deserved pass, reflecting the standards expected of on board training students when presented for test.

Extract from email received this month 'Just to say thank you, two of your instructors have been giving my son Stephen Smith driving  lessons. I would just like to thank you on behalf of my wife and myself as to the quality of you instructors and to their credit,  my son at 17 years of age has passed his test at the first attempt after taking one of you intense learning courses. As we are moving abroad it was imperative that Stephen had a full licence before we moved there. I would recommend (onboardtraining) to anyone, and would like to thank Colin Pettigrew and John Jardine for helping my son to pass his test. John and Caroline Smith'

For those who doubt our short waiting times for a test - during the evening of 26th September we get a call from a man in East Kilbride looking for a test date asap. I make a few enquiries and manage to get him an intensive driving course and a driving test for Tuesday 2nd October which is well within our 1 - 2 week waiting time for driving tests. More to the point here is an extract from an email received from this student who passed his test first time '

Hi Angela, Just a quick note to say thanks for all your help in getting me a driving test so quickly. I would also like to take the time to let you know I thought all the instructors were very good and the course structure was great. At the end of every lesson I came away feeling positive and looking forward to going out again. Hope the driving school goes from strength to strength. Regards, Stephen

Due to our excellent reputation we are experiencing a high volume of calls. Please be patient with us and if you get our answer service please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

When you take driving lessons with our instructors, we expect them to complete assessment sheets and a progress report for each of your lessons as recommended by the Driving Standards Agency. Where time permits, several mock tests should also be carried out before you attend for your driving test. This is all valuable to your learning and progress & is a service not given by many other driving schools. In fact a few local schools try to copy what we do! 

Recently we had a 70 year old lady passing her driving test in Hamilton in a manual car. Before starting with on board training her previous driving instructor suggested she should try an automatic car or even give up! 

THANK YOU
