Aneesh Sivasamy2024-09-06Khalid was my instructor and he teach really good and I recommend this driving academy and it’s so easy to learn they teach every lessons so easy and to learn quickB Arya2024-09-05Ellie is the best driving instructor there is! Preparing for a driving test can be stressful, but doing it with Ellie made it easier. She was patient and encouraging during the lessons. She gradually shared her knowledge of the road, rules, and driving in a way that built confidence rather than undermined it. After a few lessons, she told me I was ready, though I still chose to take two additional lessons for practice. The driving lessons made me comfortable with the possible test routes and aware of some quirky roads. The YouTube videos on the CDA channel helped me review mistakes when I wasn't driving. During the test, I felt more confident knowing I had driven those roads before. I passed the test, but more importantly, I gained the confidence to drive safely.Mohammed Montasser2024-09-05Very good experience with CDA, I have been instructed by Noor, which is very good and helpful and friendly, he was professional in showing the faults. Also got a session with Sadi which also was very friendly and professional with clear instructions. I recommend CDA for any beginner or even experienced driver (like me) to pass the test.Bella Pellegrini2024-09-05I did a 26 hour intensive course (spread over 6 days) with Ahmad and passed on my first attempt. I couldn’t recommend CDA enough, specifically Ahmad. I had previously taken lessons before embarking on the intensive course, which had left me a slightly nervous driver, but as soon as I got behind the wheel in Ahmad’s car, he reassured me, and was extremely encouraging, instructive and positive! His clear and composed teaching method led me to take the test feeling confident in my abilities and capacity to drive safely. Thanks CDA, and Ahmad!Jeffrey Nwobodo2024-09-05Khaled is an amazing instructor, patient and kind. He helped me through my struggles until I finally improved and passed.
