We chose to hire Rob to teach Edward how to drive based on the recommendation of a friend and we in turn would have no hesitation in recommending Rob to others.

John Patching, Fleet, December 2011

Rob provides an excellent, professional and complete service with an emphasis on producing a safe and competent driver. Rob managed all the test bookings, took John out for a
complimentary lesson on his birthday, provided a very structured approach to lessons and gave constant feedback to us. I was able to sit-in on a lesson to enable me to see how
John had progressed and better support John when I took him out. After a number of mock tests, we were delighted that John passed first time with flying colours. John will soon
be taking the Pass Plus. We have been very pleased with Rob's service and have already recommended him to some friends who in turn are now working with accelerate.
Christine & Dave Turner, Yateley, November 2011
Thank you for getting Natalie through her driving test so quickly. I am delighted with my new chauffeur and have already had her driving me all over the place including on the motorway. Your
approach and style of teaching made the whole process easy and relaxed and gave Natalie the confidence to pass her test after just 6 weeks.
I look forward to repeating the process with Max in two years time.
Carlita Sears, Yateley, November 2011

Learning with Rob was brilliant because it not only gives you such confidence in a great learning environment but it also helps you to pass fast. With my Mum being unable to drive due to medical reasons my lessons were all in a very short space of time which I was able to manage along with college work due to Rob's excellent organisational skills. I was able to quickly pass and life is so much easier as I can now drive my Mum places as her own personal chauffeur. My lessons were crammed with helpful tips and quick fire learning but were also very enjoyable and fun and time efficient and I have now recommended Rob to all of my friends who are looking for instructors.
Natalie Sears, Yateley, November 2011


Rob’s organised and focused approach has made the whole process straight forward and easy for both us as parents and our son Will. We sat in on the initial lesson, which was an excellent idea for us to understand not only how Rob worked (he was very patient and encouraging) but the key points we should know when taking Will out ourselves. And of course things have changed massively since we both learnt to drive! The clear lesson plan and communication from Rob on a regular basis allowed us to understand exactly how Will was progressing. His relaxed and reassuring approach made the experience thoroughly enjoyable for Will who says he has been a fantastic instructor! We would not hesitate to recommend accelerate and have already booked lessons for 2012 for our other son!
Lorna & Graham Westwood, Fleet, November 2011

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Rob - I think what I most appreciated was the patience and the variety of his tuition! I would recommend accelerate to anyone, especially those who lack confidence in driving.
Hannah Richardson, Fleet, November 2011

I would whole-heartedly recommend accelerate. Catherine's intensive 4 week course was excellent, well structured and delivered - leading to success first time! Rob worked well not only with Catherine but also with me, to get best benefit of my time with her. This is definitely the way to do it - what could have been a stressful experience was a pleasure!
Victor Chavez, Fleet, October 2011

Thank you for everything - I really appreciate it. I would not have passed my driving test if it wasn't for a good driving instructor like you. All the best.
PS I will recommend you to family and friends.
Zara Middleton, Camberley, Sept 2011


Both I and my wife would like to thank Rob from Accelerate Driver Training for the excellent success he achieved in getting our son Tom to pass his test. Tom achieved a first time pass (only 3 minor faults!) after only 30 hrs of tuition - which is due to the professional approach that Rob maintains. Every detail of Rob’s approach is fantastic, from theory test to practical test. We were completely assured by this approach which paid massive dividends in the end.
Accelerate Driver Training is a professional, focussed and extremely capable driver training solution and I would recommend them unreservedly. You certainly get what you pay for!

Jaike Coulson, Lower Earley, August 2011
Right from the beginning when I first met Rob, both my mom and I found him to be very friendly and organised. We were both very impressed with his positive attitude and his enthusiasm when it comes to driving and teaching others to drive.
I was very impressed with the driving programme which Rob created which suited me just perfectly, helping me to get to test level in just 5 weeks. Every week I was eager to learn, and Rob made every lesson fun and motivating.
I just want to thank you Rob for helping me pass my test first time round after just 20 hours lessons, from start to end you were very organised and a great teacher passing on different techniques which I found very helpful and will never forget.
Thanks Rob for all your time and hard work, and for your dedication in every lesson. I wish you & Accelerate all the best for the future.
Thanks again.
Claudia Bartlett, Sandhurst, July 2011

We wanted to take a few minutes to send a message to thank you for an excellent job with Hannah's driving instruction.


Both my husband and myself have been extremely impressed by Rob’s totally professional approach. Right from the start, before any driving lessons even started, Rob came to our home and discussed his approach, asked my son how quickly he wanted to learn, went through financial matters and thoroughly outlined the learning procedure. This gave us an immediate sense of relief and reassurance that Rob knew exactly what he was doing and would do his upmost to enable our son to learn how to drive.
Lesson schedules were then produced together with a spreadsheet of costs. Rob’s organisation is second to none. Rob was always on time and even texted my son to remind him of his lessons (absolutely essential given my son’s rather laid back attitude) He was flexible in terms of where he picked up Nathan for lessons and gave us regular feedback on his progress. After each lesson he discussed progress made against standards which meant that my son had a clear idea of his strengths and areas to work on.
Rob organised the theory test and driving tests which made everything a whole lot easier for us and of course my son. Most importantly my son felt comfortable with Rob as his trainer and Rob clearly has a great ability to relate to and train young people. Even without practising outside lessons, Rob successfully taught my son to drive in a very short period of time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rob as a driving instructor.
Anne Heape, Finchampstead, June 2011

'Joel passed his practical test thanks to your excellent help, support and tuition - we cannot explain how pleased we are. Thanks again.
Sue & Dave Hope, May 2011

I would like to say a huge thank you to Rob on behalf of both my sons Scott & Josh for getting them both through their driving tests. Both boys are confident, safe & competent young drivers thanks to accelerate. The exceptional learning plan and commitment Rob puts into his learner drivers is fantastic, from adapting lessons to fit around trips home from university to being available at short notice too. We will definitely recommend accelerate to all our family and friends. Thank you.
Julie Pethick, Yateley, May 2011


Being that I'd left learning to drive until I was in my 30's, I found the whole idea of it very daunting. I was actually quite terrified. Rob managed to put me at ease straight away! Even when I messed things up and started to panic he would calm me down and get me through it. I honestly don't think I would have passed first time if I'd had anyone else teaching me. I actually miss my lessons now! So I'd like to say thank you very much for getting me through it. I was at the point where I didn't think I ever would, and look at me now!
Sarah Wright, Yateley, April 2011

Dear Rob
We can’t thank you enough for the expert training you gave our daughter Jade Fletcher prior to her passing her test in just 5 short weeks. From the first meeting when we met you and you explained the course and how easily and smoothly things should go to the last meeting just before her test you were always so professional and reassuring that we were never in doubt that we made the right choice in choosing you to teach our daughter to drive. I think the course is perfectly structured and gives the pupils the best possible chance of passing their driving tests quickly which is borne out by Jade's results. We wish you every success in the future and rest assured that we will sing your praises to anyone else we meet who needs a quality driving instructor.
Stuart and Kim Fletcher, Farnborough, March 2011

I would strongly recommend learning with accelerate, especially Rob. He is such a good instructor who makes you feel
confident and relaxed whilst learning. He has so much patience and I knew that every lesson would be fun - I would learn a lot and come back from my lesson looking forward to the
next. From first meeting Rob I knew that he would get me through my test in not time at all and make me feel confident on the road. Rob was always there to encourage me when I
doubted myself, and I'm going to miss our lessons very much. I want to say a big big thank you to him for everything and I wish him all the best in the future.
Jade Fletcher, Farnborough, March 2011

Rob, we would like to express our thanks for your patience and encouragement shown to Shaun. We have found you to be very approachable and professional. At our initial meeting you said you wanted to teach Shaun to drive, but more importantly in a safe way, within a relatively short space of time. We wholeheartedly agree with this statement and feel confident that Shaun will be a safe driver. We are already recommending you to friends.
Karen & Alan Thomas, Yateley, January 2011

At our first meeting I knew that accelerate, and in particular Rob was the right person to teach my daughter Sam to drive. Sam had never driven before and this adventure was completely alien to her. Rob filled Sam and me with confidence instantly and although he could not promise to teach Sam himself, I felt I had to insist, as his commitment and enthusiasm was clear to see.
Rob handled all of the administration, booked her theory to which she passed within three weeks! Rob kept an immaculate record of Sam’s progress and spent time speaking to me regularly, particularly as her test approached.
I cannot believe that within a few months of our initial meeting Sam has passed her test with flying colours and first time! Sam is now looking forward to her Pass Plus with Rob.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rob personally, as a sometimes over protective mother, in teaching Sam to drive beautifully and more importantly safely.
I would have no hesitation in whole heartedly recommending accelerate and more notably Rob to anyone in search of a superior driving school with very high standards.
Toni Palmer, Farnham, January 2011.

I highly recommend learning with accelerate because although learning to drive can seem daunting and scary, Rob's teaching technique and charisma made lessons something to look forward to and enjoy. Rob never loses his cool and has the patience of a saint, leading my confidence as a driver only ever to increase and improve. Even though I often doubted myself (through my own perfectionist issues), Rob's encouragement never faltered and today I am a confident safe driver thanks to Rob's wise words that stick with me every time I get in the car. Rob makes learning to drive a highly enjoyable experience and I still miss his lessons.
Anna-Maria Dunne, Yateley, Dec 2010

I'm very pleased to pass my test with only 3 minors, in the last hour before my theory pass certificate expired!
I found Rob very organised and helpful. It really did help me to pass quicker than I thought I would. The feedback and lesson plans in each lesson I found very useful and extremely helpful.
Rob was a pleasure to learn with and I'll definitely be recommending accelerate to anyone who's thinking of learning!
Thanks again for all your help and patience.
Sarah Homewood, Yateley, Dec 2010

Rob is a fantastic driving instructor and managed to get me to keep my cool throughout my lessons which at some points was no small feat. I enjoyed every lesson and always looked forward to them during my week. I have much admiration for Rob as I would never have thought I could have passed my test first time and so soon. He truly is an outstanding instructor.
Adam Walsh, Church Crookham, Dec 2010
The following was stated by Molly Lock, Bracknell after a visit from accelerate to her and her Mum, Alex when Molly was selecting a driving school:

I was very excited at the opportunity to learn to drive, and just a little nervous about the prospect of taking the test. However, Rob’s professionalism, encouragement and friendly demeanor,
not to mention his incredible patience made the process easy and comfortable. Rob’s expert guidance gave me the self-assurance to have confidence in myself. The result speaks
volumes – I passed the test, the first time with just one minor fault. I will be referring Rob and Accelerate Driving Training to all my friends. Thanks Rob, you made learning to drive easy and
fun and taking + passing the test a piece of cake!
James Lalor, Farnborough, Oct 2010

At the time I approached you for help my son had lost confidence in his driving abilities, and had lost the trust and confidence in driving instructors per se. You had him behind the wheel and through his test in two weeks …amazing! Jaike is chuffed to bits that he passed first time, with two driving faults (minors), two days before his 18th Birthday ....what a Birthday present!
Pam and Mark Coulson, Lower Earley, Oct 2010

I am so pleased to have passed my driving test today. Rob was so encouraging and helpful in all of my lessons, and I really felt I made progress in all of them. He was very
accomodating in organising lessons and I found his feedback at the end of each lesson very helpful. His patience and optimism were fabulous and I want to say a huge thank you for being an
amazing instuctor!
Jemima Graham, Woking, October 2010
Paul and Lesley Clarke, Sandhurst, September 2010

A big Thank You to Rob & accelerate for getting Louise through her Driving Lessons & Test. We were very impressed by the professionalism of accelerate, the designed driving plan and the lead time of completion. Louise had taken some lessons with another company prior to Rob & was not making much progress, but after just a couple of lessons with Rob & accelerate there was a massive improvement. Lou had commented how good the lessons were & she was also enjoying driving. Lou was quite nervous on occasions but Rob got her through that as well, we noticed a vast improvement in her self-confidence when driving.
Sharing information was very good - if Lou happened to lapse in any area Rob would text or call to point us in the direction to motivate her.
So a very well done to Lou for passing first time, and well done to Rob for all his hard work in getting her there, we know it couldn't have been easy.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rob & Accelerate.
Once again Cheer's Rob
Daz & Sam Cornwell, Bracknell, Sept 2010
I would like to say how impressed my wife and I have been with the high standard of tuition given to enable our daughter Kathryn to pass her practical test first time with only 1 minor. The tailored instructional schedule was excellent for Kathryn, she learnt quickly but in a safe manner. She is looking forward to the pass plus next. Many thanks Rob, we will have no hesitation to recommending you - well done for building up an excellent company.
Mike Palmer, Farnborough, August 2010

From the start to end my experience with Rob at Accelerate has been great. Professional, friendly, structured and most of all it's been good fun! After two previous attempts with ''well
known'' driving schools I was left frustrated and in a rut. Rob's straight forward, structured approach was a breath of fresh air and it's down to Rob that this ''boy racer'' (Robs words not
mine!) eventually passed aged 23! It's no surprise that this approach is being recognised by many and it's great to see the Accelerate team growing. If you want to pass first time, give
Rob a call!....it has been great Rob, you've been a great teacher.
John Ellis, Bracknell, August 2010
Thanks to the level of service received from accelerate, my 17 year old son has successfully completed his Driving Test - first time and after only 17 hours of tuition.
The personal, tailored two hour sessions helped enormously with the intensity of learning and experience my son gained and I have no hesitation in recommending accelerate.
Nikki Robinson, Yateley, June 2010


accelerate is positively different.
The instructors come to meet you before you commit to anything and when they do arrive they are professionally dressed in their company branded clothing.
I have been impressed by the great customer service. I have been kept informed of Lauren's progress either through her feedback forms, by Rob calling me or through Rob coming to see me immediately after a lesson.
It is clear that accelerate instructors are strong motivators and really do get the best out of the learner driver - I am absolutely delighted with Lauren's result of a first time pass just 12 days after her 17th birthday. Value for money? Absolutely! I would 100% recommend accelerate for you or your son/daughter's driving tuition.

Paul Quilter, Hook, June 2010
It's good to hear that Maxine drove so well on her test – she’s really chuffed. I’d like to add my thanks for your undoubted skill in getting the best out of her. I’ve been extremely impressed by your approach to driver training – thoughtful, thorough and (obviously) effective and I’d have no reservations in recommending accelerate – long may it continue. Thanks again for your efforts – much appreciated.
Dave Nicholson, Wokingham, May 2010
Thank you for assisting me with driving lessons for the last few months. As we know, I succeeded, and I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you again.
Narayan Gurung, Camberley, May 2010
'Attention to detail was terrific – you planned around my college and work timetables and the quite specific deadline for passing my test to enable me to secure my university place…........oh, and you even sent me some L-Plates!! You were extremely flexible, adjusting the programme to suit my changing situation. The idea of providing books/CD-ROM truly enriched the learning experience – I feel that I have a thorough understanding of what safe driving is all about and am inspired to keep practising. It was great fun – high fives all around when things went well and masses of encouragement on those ‘off days’. Most importantly you made me believe I could pass ….and I did with just 2 minor driving faults after just 24 hours of professional tuition. Many, many thanks, Rob.'
Katie James, Queen Mary's College, Basingstoke / Mortimer, Berks April
2010.
'I took a good part of my Pass Plus training in the pouring rain, at night, on the motorway (M3/M4/M25/M40). Rob gave me some invaluable tips which will significantly improve both my confidence and my safety when driving in daylight in dry motorway conditions. Moreover I will be able to drive in the foulest of conditions with the comfort that I will be able to cope with almost anything which is thrown at me. I cannot recommend the Pass Plus course strongly enough....and I have been driving for more than a year!!'
Lydia Simplicio, Maidenhead, April 2010

The great thing about driving with Rob is the mutual respect that prevails. He really does do what he says he will do - that is to inspire confidence and competence. He has regularly amended the way he does things to suit my exact needs and the end result of just 3 minor errors in my practical test speaks for itself. Excellent job, Rob. Many thanks. Ashley Deutrom, Bracknell, March 2010
Thank you so much for all your encouragement, support, time and patience you gave to Ashley to pass his test. We knew from the day we met you that you were really considerate and thoughtful.
You are a great instructor..............
Wendy Deutrom, Bracknell, March 2010
I had a great time learning with Rob. It was great fun and with his accelerated learning approach on an intensive course I was able to pass my test first time, after just 18 hours professional tuition and 4 hours of other practice. Thanks, Rob.
Kim Pearson, High Wycombe, March 2010
I was impressed with your professionalism and feel quite reassured by your commitment. Andrew Fry (Parent), Walton-on-Thames, Jan 2010

Thank you very very very much for everything you have done for me. From the first day I met you I knew I was in the safest hands.' Lingsted Banda, Frimley, Dec 2009

I used 2 other driving instructors who assured me that I was 'test ready' but still I failed.
I then found Rob at accelerate who very quickly found and fixed the problems. After 10 hours of corrective tuition I passed my test. Thanks Rob.
Faruq, Chertsey, Nov 2009
Hycene was impressed with the professional approach and flexibility as to when Rob was able to fit in his lessons. Roger Wilman, Walton on Thames, Oct 2009
