I passed my driving test in first attempt and I can confidently say that Afzal Ahmed is a wonderful trainer who truly cares about his students success. From my very first lesson, he was calm, patient, and extremely professional. He explained everything clearly and made sure I understood not just how to drive, but how to drive safely and confidently on the road. I chose RARA because of the good reputation, and I am very happy I did.

The driving lessons leads were well structured and tailored to my learning pace. The automatic driving lessons leads were especially helpful, as Afzal Ahmed made complex manoeuvres feel simple and stress free. He always corrected mistakes in a positive and encouraging way, which really helped build my confidence. Among all the driving instructors leads I considered, he stood out because of his dedication, experience, and attention to detail.

The driving schools leads for RARA truly reflect the high standard of training they provide. I also appreciated the flexibility and strong support offered during the intensive driving courses leads, which helped me prepare thoroughly and feel ready for the test. Thanks to the excellent guidance, clear instructions, and constant motivation, I felt fully prepared on test day. I highly recommend Afzal Ahmed and RARA to anyone looking to pass their driving test with confidence and peace of mind.

Ive just had the absolute pleasure of learning with Azim for the last 6 months and finally passed yesterday. Throughout the whole learning process Azim has been absolutely fantastic and the best instructor ever. His knowledge and professionalism is second to none and I couldnt have done it without him. He really is the best and will be recommending him to everyone that needs an instructor. Thank you so much Azim and Ill be back in touch for motorway lesson

I passed my driving test on the first try within a week with Afzal Ahmed as my instructor. Highly recommended if you want to pass on your first attempt! He may be pricey, but the quality of the driving license is worth it.

I passed my driving test on the first attempt thanks to an intensive driving course. They scheduled my test within a week, albeit expensive, it offered the best quality. Afzaal Ahmed, the Principal Trainer, possesses enriched industry knowledge. He even offers a money-back guarantee for the first lesson, making him highly recommended if you aim to pass your test on the first try.

Ahmed has been very helpful, he has been very professional and always able to slot me in very short period of times. His great way of teaching greatly impacted my learning curve and I was able to pass with no issues. I would personally recommend to go with this company for any lessons!

If u looking for best driving lessons in Leeds and surrounding areas, Horsforth, Burley, Bramley then RARA is the best choice.,They can make u super pass, intensive driving lessons or crash driving course. In my first driving lesson with Ahmed, I have learned way more than I had learned with my previous instructor in 10 driving lessons. From the first driving lesson with him he makes me driving from the first minute till the last minute, no time wasting or whiteboard session, he would give me the instructions while driving, when it is safe to do so, which helped me developing my multitasking skills needed for driving.

He is always conscious and his mind is always present. I felt very safe learning with him because he is always awake. He is very skilled and experienced driving instructor, knows how and when to tell you the information and repeats it while you drive until it became part of your subconscious, and can easily predict and figure my weakness points and explains to me clearly how to fix them. His technique in driving lessons and manoeuvres are more intuitive easy to follow.

He started preparing me to pass the car prcatical driving test from first lesson, and helped in finding a quick early driving test slot after the lockdown, he managed to get me a test date in August. He saves me time and money by not wasting time from the driving lessons, he would me to watch videos on youtube about show me tell me and junctions or theoretical bits that I can do on my own before the driving lessons to skip the theoretical part.

His car is perfectly easy to drive, can hardly stall, perfect for learner car drivers and perfect to do exam in it

He has a few personal qualities which makes him a great driving instructor, he is calm, patient, humble and cheerful - makes the lessons less stressful-, he cares a lot about me passing more than making money, most importantly he would go the extra mile for you. He is super knowledgeable of all driving test routes and what are tricky parts and made me practice again and again until I can blindly do it.

With Ahmed I have developed my driving skills and confidence very quickly, I never felt stressed at all with him

I feel I was so lucky to find him, I would definitely recommend Ahmed to anyone as the best driving instructor.

Passed from first time in under two weeks
