My name is Yasmin Tahir and I originally joined a national company where I completed Parts 1 & 2. Once I started my Part 3 training I found that they weren’t really interested in getting me through and the help I needed wasn’t being provided. I had to wait weeks before I could get another session of training. This is when I contacted John Oakley. I found that John took my training personally and provided me all the training at an exceptionally higher standard than before. John went to great lengths to book my training sessions around my existing commitments and at short notice a lot of the times, which the Instructor College weren’t able to facilitate. The standard of training was such that I passed my Part 3 on my first attempt, all credit goes to John as if I had continued with The Instructor College I think I would have given up and possibly never have got through my Part 3. John is a very pleasant and hard working man and will always get back to me when I need help and advice even after I completed my training. I was so pleased with the level of service and dedication from John that I recommended a further 6 people to John all of whom have now qualified as ADI’s. I highly recommend John to anyone considering becoming an ADI. The best decision I made was completing my training with John, he will be a friend for life.

I was introduced to John Oakley through Drivers Driving School in Selly Oak in 2009, having failed my ADI part three driving examination on two previous occasions. My self esteem was very low at that time and I desperately needed someone to help me. John was my light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel. He was polite, friendly, honest, trustworthy and an experienced professional with exceptional communication skills. This gave me the confidence in both him and myself. I will always be indebted to him. I would strong recommend John to anyone. He helped me pass my part three and also my check test. His telephone number always remains with me as my “phone a friend” should the need arise regarding any driving issues I may have.

I’m just writing to thank you for carrying out MIDAS training with our staff. After being dismayed at the cost and rigidness of the training supplied by the Local Authority, we were so please with the level of service we received from your company. Training was tailored according to the needs of each individual member of staff, with extra support and coaching for those who needed a little more help. You worked around our timescales and came to us to deliver training, so staff could drive around our local area, which personalized the training even more so. The teaching style used was a good mix of direct instruction and coaching which helped our staff to make good progress and feel confident in their achievements. I would unhesitatingly recommend you company to others, and have done! Once again, thank you for such a high level of service, and fantastic value for money! Kind regards, Barry Yeardsley Head Teacher
