I completed my entire instructor training with Abdul, and I'm delighted to have passed my Part 3 test at Chilwell. His knowledge, experience and ability to explain things clearly made a huge difference throughout my training.
Abdul is patient, professional and genuinely passionate about helping others become better driving instructors. His coaching was tailored to my individual needs, helping me build confidence and understand exactly what was expected on the test.
I would highly recommend Abdul to anyone looking for high-quality ADI instructor training. Thank you for all your support and guidance—it played a big part in helping me achieve my Part 3 pass!

This morning I passed my driving test at Chilwell. This was made possible through the expert guidance of Abdul at NGPass Driving Academy. Abdul's approach was ideal, he was always calm and patient, ensuring time was given to understand my thoughts so he could give tailored advice. I was quite nervous coming in to driving but with his encouragement and support I gained the confidence I needed to pass and be safe on the roads going forward. Lessons were always clear, professional, and well structured, addressing both what I wanted to practise and what he knew would be beneficial.
Abdul taught me automatic driving, and I can highly recommend him if you are looking to do the same in Nottingham.
Thank you again! I can't say that enough!

A huge thank you to Abdul at NGPass Driving Academy for helping me pass my driving test today in Colwick, Nottingham.
Abdul provided the majority of my training and helped me build the skills, confidence and knowledge needed to become a safe driver. His patient, professional and supportive approach made learning much easier, and he always explained things clearly.
Due to Abdul's switch to automatic tuition, I took my test with another instructor, but the foundations of my driving were built through the excellent training I received from him.
I would highly recommend Abdul and NGPass Driving Academy to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and dedicated driving instructor in Nottingham.
Thanks again, Abdul!

Just wanted to share my experience with NGPass Driving Academy 🚗
I’m currently taking driving lessons with Abdul and it’s been really good so far. We’ve been practising around Beeston and the Chilwell test centre, including dual carriageways like the A52 and bigger roundabouts such as Bramcote — which has really helped build my confidence.
Abdul is very patient, supportive, and explains everything clearly, so I always feel comfortable during lessons.
If anyone is looking for driving lessons in Nottingham, especially around Beeston, Chilwell or nearby areas, I’d definitely recommend Abdul.

I completed my driving lessons in Nottingham and passed first time with Abdul. 🙌🏼
In the beginning I was nervous, however, I quickly found that lessons were clearly structured, with my own learning experience prioritised just as much as the practical driving checklist. I never felt like I was pushed too far out of my comfort zone, yet I felt like new tasks were introduced at the appropriate stage in my learning. Abdul is clearly experienced and I’ve certainly benefited from the quality of his teaching and humour along the way. I’ve not only learnt how to drive a car but how to be a safe road user. I would recommend Abdul to anyone looking for top quality driving instruction in Nottingham!
