I had v bad experience . Although i didn’t pass from here but the instructor forced me to gave good review. V unprofessional and unfriendly behaviour. He was saying you need to get 5 to 6 more lessons but i passed the test in next attempt from another school.

Mr Shoaib Gul is an excellent driving instructor, consistently demonstrating patience, clear explanations, and a positive attitude that made learning to drive feel comfortable and manageable. He tailored lessons to my specific needs, focusing on areas where I needed improvement, and helped me build confidence behind the wheel, ultimately leading to a successful test pass. However if anyone can’t able to speak english he helps some different languages as well for example Punjabi and Urdu..I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor for better driving..

Munir Abro is the best instructor I’ve ever had and IPS is the best driving school. Thank you for everything!
My instructor was Mr Munir Abro and he guided me so much professionally so that i passed my test in my first attempt. Thanks.
I recently passed with Umer Sheikh, I had two previous instructors prior to him which I had quite negative experiences with and never seemed to be getting anywhere. But Umer boosted my confidence highly, kept good communication and made me feel more relaxed behind the wheel. Couldn’t recommend IPS enough!

Ive recently just passed and been with Umer Sheikh through the entirety of my learner driving experience. Can’t speak highly enough of the lessons I’ve had with him.

Suddenly, my daughter wasn't able to get in contact with the driving instructor. She tried to book another session and got no response for weeks. She tried to contact the driving school itself a couple of times to find out what's happening and there was only an answering machine.
The number you posted 0300 2004 576 is invalid (BTW this was a typo on your end)
Last update :
My daughter tried to contact her instructor a couple of times and then the office, but the answering machine was on. Then I tried to contact you and I got through.
It's not true that the lessons are a couple of months ago either, her last lesson was in October and since then my daughter tried to contact the driving instructor and driving school.
You wanted to look into the issue why the instructor is not contacting my daughter anymore, and you wanted to call me back.
You didn't call back, instead you sent my daughter a text message, that the number is wrong and you couldn't find the name either and her mum should remove the review.
So I started to be very worried that here is a fraud happening and god knows who my daughter had driving lessons with, as you couldn't find the instructor.
After our phone call, by the way, the instructor removed her from WhatsApp and all conversation was gone!!
So even more worried.
But we have bank account details and so I tried to contact you again to find out what's happening. Now the answering machine also turned on when I tried to call!
My husband called you today and indeed the bank details are from your company and you also knew the instructor! And then phone call got disconnected.....
Luckily no fraud happening here as you know the instructor and we also know that we paid to your company.
However we still don't understand why the instructor didn't come back, and why you try to make it hard to get in touch with you, and why you have no answers.
Very mysterious.....

Ahmar taught my daughter having had a bad experience with a previous instructor. She said he was a patient and understanding instructor who made her feel very comfortable and was never intimidating. He is flexible and would accommodate lessons for her at short notice. Ahmar had a genuine interest in seeing my daughter pass and would always communicate with myself to keep me updated on her progress. I would highly recommend Ahmar and will
use him for my other 2 children when the time comes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
