Raving Reviews

"I chose JSF Driving because of their good online reviews. It feels amazing to have passed my driving test first time as it was a long time coming... but we got there in the end! Thank you so much. Everything was great and I would recommend JSF Driving School to anyone wanting to learn to drive." Congratulations to Chloe Williams from Sling, our first test taken after lockdown and a well deserved first time pass on 27th April 2021, at Gloucester test centre. Your patience and hard work paid off ! 🙂

"I was looking for a reliable driving school and heard good things about JSF Driving. They matched up to their good reviews! My instructor was always patient and concise and I can't think of anyway he could have been better. Passing my test first time is a great achievement for me as it will help my future. I will now be able to drive to work and university. What a well deserved result!" Congratulations to Katie Winstone from Bream who passed her test on her first attempt on the 11th February 2020 at Gloucester test centre. Jim says thanks for the kind words, really appreciated. Enjoy your freedom and stay safe! 🙂

"Thank you JSF for preparing me and getting me through the test. I'm so pleased to have passed first time!" Great result for Hayden Edey from Sling who took his own car to test at Monmouth Test Centre on the 20th January 2020 and really showed the examiner that he knows his stuff. Stay safe and well done Hayden! 

"I felt really at ease with Jim. Good conversation, patient and most importantly really wanting to get his students to pass! Lessons were planned and tracked making it easier for me to monitor my progress and improve on any mistakes. It really helped that JSF Driving School was able to book lessons around my working day. Now I've passed my test I can visit family and friends in North Wales which was difficult before." Life changing result for Connor Brookes from Coleford who passed his practical test at Monmouth test centre on the 25th October 2019. No more walking for an hour through the Forest to and from work twice a day... just avoiding the winter too! Well done 🙂

"I was looking for a driving school that had great reviews and who were happy to move things around to make learning more convenient for me. JSF Driving School did just that, with Jim being reliable and very polite on the phone. Learning was much quicker and easier than I thought, so I would definitely recommend them. Great service. Keep doing what you're doing!" Jake Bailey, from Hartpury College via Chippenham, earned his driving licence at Gloucester test centre on the 16th October 2019 today. Keen to start with a gift voucher for his 17th birthday, things were interrupted after several rugby injuries, but Jim's pleased you got there in the end! #StaySafe 🙂

"I picked JSF Driving after ringing around several schools because they are local & highly rated. The basics were covered thoroughly and gave me confidence for the rest. Jim is a likeable instructor who provided a positive learning experience. Topics were covered thoroughly & there was a good structure to lessons. I felt more relaxed after a mock test in the run up to my actual test. More general driving & less structure after learning general skills gave me more confidence." Congratulations to Tom Rogerson from Newent who passed with JSF Driving on the 4th September 2019 at Gloucester Test Centre. All the best finding your perfect apprenticeship now that you can travel. Good luck! 🙂

"My sister passed with JSF Driving School so they came highly recommended! I was terrified as I'd never driven before, so the free first hour allowed me to see whether I even wanted to learn to drive, and if I wanted to go with JSF Driving. Jim made me feel less scared and more confident. When I panicked he adapted the lesson plan so I could still learn. I felt comfortable, confident and ready for the test. There is really nothing Jim could do to improve things!" Congratulations to Claire Hughes from Cinderford who achieved a well deserved first time pass at Gloucester Test Centre on the 14th August 2019. We love having family recommendations!

"I chose JSF Driving School because they have a great reputation and good looking website, and Jim was flexible enough to fit my lessons around my crazy shift patterns! I really didn't know what to expect before I started, but I will say Jim is very good at explaining things. His approach to teaching is second to none. If you want to pass and become a well rounded driver, Jim is your man. Keep doing what you're doing!" Another excellent first time pass, this time with Sam Daykin from Mitcheldean, who passed at Gloucester Test Centre on the 8th August 2019. Now those crazy shift patterns will at least be dry ones, well done! 🙂 

"I chose JSF Driving because of their high pass rate and their great online reviews. Learning with them passed my expectations, and I feel I didn't have to go off and learn anything extra on my own. I would recommend JSF Driving as I feel Jim is a good teacher and patient, a great experience that couldn't be improved upon!" Celebrating a first time driving test pass with Will Green from Lydney who passed his practical test with Jim on the 6th August, 2019 at Gloucester test centre. Well deserved! Enjoy your first road trip as designated driver to the football 🙂

"Jim is a top driving instructor who takes the time you need to master your manoeuvres and get confident. Really friendly. I am very chuffed I passed my test first time, an on an intensive course too!"  Love it when an intensive course goes to plan, especially when you can now easily pop over to another county for fishing! Congratulations to new driver Darren Thomas from Cinderford who passed his test at Gloucester Test Centre on the 17th July 2019.

"I'm feeling very relieved that I have passed. Leading up to the test Jim had made me feel extremely comfortable and confident that I could pass so I couldn't recommend JSF Driving enough!" A well deserved first time pass for Liam Bradley from Lydney at the Gloucester Test Centre on the 26th June 2019. Knew you would smash it, enjoy your freedom! 😀

"I feel surprised that I passed as I thought I would fail due to lack of mirror checks! I chose JSF Driving as my brothers recommended Jim who taught them both how to drive. My first drive will be to the cinema and it will be nice to go there independently, rather than constantly asking my Dad for a lift!" Great result with a first time pass for Megan Lambert from Lydney, keeping the driving tradition in the family for JSF Jim who just loves it when he takes the whole family along for their rites of passage. Well done Megan, knew you would do it... enjoy your independence!

"I feel amazing that I passed first time with only one minor (just saying)! Jim has been fantastic with me through my learning experience. I would happily recommend JSF Driving to all of my mates, because I know Jim is consistent. Thank you Jim." Well deserved first time pass for Dan Afflick from Churcham at Gloucester Test Centre on the 11th June 2019. Make sure you ask your mates to mention your name when they book though Dan so you can take advantage of the JSF Loyalty Scheme with free lessons towards Pass Plus or motorway driving! 🙂

"I am very happy now I have passed my driving test! Many thanks to Jim from JSF Driving School, don't think I could have passed with anyone else as I was very comfortable in the car with Jim. I would recommend JSF Driving to any learner driver. The lessons are great and easy to book. I'm looking forward to going on a driving holiday next year!" Congratulations to new driver William Harris from Blakeney who passed at Gloucester Test Centre on the 6th June 2019. Enjoy taking your little boy and partner on loads of driving adventures! 

"I am so pleased that I had this refresher course.  At nearly 74 I had rather lost my confidence and was very reluctant to drive my husband's much larger car and I found the automatic gearbox and all the modern bells and whistles very intimidating.Just a couple of 2 hour lessons with Jim's calm and professional guidance completely restored my confidence.  I would recommend Jim and JSF to anyone. Thanks.  I meant every word." Jim had great fun on the 6th May 2019 with a short refresher course with Hilary Renecle from Newent as she confidently upgraded from her little Peugeot 206 to a new Audi 6, and rediscovered driving! Enjoy yourself and stay safe Hilary 🙂

"JSF Driving got me passed 1st time after completing an intensive driving course. Jim's an amazing instructor that helped in preparing me fully ready for test day. Thanks so much Jim couldn't have done it without you. gonna miss our coffees and cookies 😆 xxx" An excellent & well deserved first time pass at Gloucester Test Centre for Jade Higgins from Cinderford on the 22nd March 2019. Determined to travel with your little family, enjoy the freedom it brings Jade! 

"I am ecstatic to have passed first time round, with only one minor, thanks to Jim. I think he is an awesome instructor who teaches you absolutely everything in preparation. Overall, so impressed! :)" What an excellent result for Annie Humphrey from Parkend at the Gloucester Test Centre on the 13th March 2019. Well deserved... stay safe and see you on the roads!  

"I am very pleased to have passed my test as it is much needed for my job search and the area I live in. Jim is a great instructor, very patient and allowed me to enjoy driving." Great result for Tom Daykin from Newnham-on-Severn after completing an intensive driving course with a practical test pass at Gloucester test centre on the 10th December 2018. As a new driver make sure you grasp every opportunity that 2019 is going to bring your way!
