Dave A.

Having been thinking about becoming a driving instructor for a while, I jumped at the chance for a taster session that was being offered with David.
I absolutely loved that session and pretty much made up my mind on the spot that I was going to become a driving instructor.
It was by far the best decision I have made in my working life and the training was better than I could have hoped. David was and still is there whenever I need him. Our in car sessions taught me so much and the private practice, although sometimes challenging was very well structured. In fact the structure of the whole course was fantastic, it was clear and you always knew where you were. The video's were a really big help, and useful that I could go back and watch them again if I ever needed to.
I cannot praise the support I received enough, I have always felt that I can just pick up the phone anytime I needed anything.
The help I got when getting ready for my part 1 test was so much appreciated, I was struggling and David helped explain things in a way that made me understand what was needed better and I passed well.
David put in extra time to help me prepare for my part 2 test, my great result was definitely an outcome of that help.
I have since now been working towards my part 3 and have obtained my trainee licence. David is still on hand, the support offered is second to none and I could not be more grateful to David for my training.
All in all, for anyone thinking of becoming a driving instructor, I would very highly recommend David and Calm driving to them. I have very much enjoyed my training, I am loving working as a driving instructor, and look forward to many years in my new career.

Calm driving was recommended to me by a couple of instructors up at the Poole test centre, so I gave them a call to see if they could help me prepare for my pt3 which I failed 1st attempt with a different trainer.

David was so helpful and got me booked in very soon after my call.
I went to meet him to talk about what I wanted from the training.
This was all about me and what I wanted to learn more about.

What I need was for it all to be broken down to make sure I understood everything and David was brilliant at doing this.

David met my pupil I was planning to take and he agreed she was the right person.

I had a bit of a wobble a few days before my pt3 and David put my mind at rest out on the road that day.
I went away feeling a lot better.

The day of my pt3 David met me up at the test centre to give me support and this was brilliant as it helped me relax a bit more.

When I returned from my test David was there ready to come listen to the debrief
To make sure I understood everything the examiner said.

The training and support I had from calm I recommend 100% and is definitely worth the money

What a fantastic experience learning with Calm Driving via David!!

Upon hearing my particular situation, David came up with a lovely tangible plan, that incorporated all my training needs!

The plans’ structure was perfect and it allowed me to fully isolate and work towards hitting the relevant competencies, whilst providing a great value for money lesson!

The mock tests at the end really consolidated all the hard work that we’ve put in and at the end of the plan I’ve felt much stronger and in a much better position to pass my pt.3!

Cannot thank David enough for his support and, of course, thoroughly recommend!!🥇

I can't recommend Calm enough for anyone thinking about training to become a driving instructor. I'm currently training for my Part 2 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. My day to day driving has improved massively under David's guidance. His course structure is perfect for my style of learning and the pace fits well into my already busy life. Overall I'm feeling confident and determined and I'm looking forward to taking the next steps. I still have a long way to go but this was definitely the right decision for me. I'm glad I chose Calm.

In May of this year after failing my Part 3 test feeling depressed, and frustrated with the industry with the level of training I had received from my then Ordit trainer I was ready to throw the towel in! Purley by chance I was recommended by two different Driving instructors to contact David Musk from " Calm driving school" for help. After much deliberation and encouragement from my driving school I contacted David feeling less than motivated at that point. After the first meeting/chat with David I was more than encouraged to continue on the journey to become an instructor. His positive attitude and calm demeanour changed my outlook, it became very apparent to me that I had much to learn to become a "A" grade instructor. So the journey has begun, 6 or so lessons in I feel more able to succeed, David is teaching me so much in a calm, friendly and positive way allowing me to practice new skills obtained, to use during my own lessons, I'm not there yet but making progress, and feel encouraged to see this journey through with my much and long awaited test booked in Nov 24. I, thanks to David am in no doubt I will pass when the time comes, and will be always in his debt, for his hard work and positive ways to ensure my end Goal. I feel I found a friend in life who I can always turn too for help and advice. I would not hesitate to advise anyone who is in my situation or needs a Part 3 instructor to contact David rather than go anywhere else. There is a lot of bad Part 3 tutors out there, but with David, rest assured you'll be paying for professional, quality training, in a friendly manner.

Thank you David for just being there. Stewart.

David was recommended to me by another instructor that he trained. David was very accommodating and worked around my job at the time often doing 3 hour sessions late in the evening. Without David there would have been no chance in myself passing my part 2 & 3 first time.

I’ve now been enjoying life as an ADI for two and half years and it was the best decision I ever for my family.

Thanks David.

I was so glad that I chose to do my instructor training with David, rather than the more remote training offered by other companies.

It was fantastic having a training sat with me taking me through every step of my training, helping me gain knowledge and confidence in what can be a daunting career step.

Having that support local to me and being able to reach out with any questions, was absolutely invaluable to me. I passed first time due to the support I was given and I couldn’t recommend my experience with the company highly enough.

Thank you David.
