  Ian was recommended to me for instructor training as being a ‘bit special’ by a mutual friend. So it has proven to be!  His training expertise and knowledge has been thorough & excellent from the first day we first met to explore my thoughts of becoming an instructor . Before meeting Ian I had contacted a national company regarding driver instructor training which looked like a serious contender at the time. However, after a number of meetings with Ian over a number of months exploring all the in’s & outs of instructing as a career (I considered other career at the same time) such as ; my suitability as an instructor ; the processes in qualifying ;  Amigos materials & excellent reputation locally;  realistic earnings potential ; potential pitfalls and franchise options available I plumped for Amigos I  haven’t regretted the decision for one moment. It was clear that I’d get a training program that would be tailored to my individual needs, support would be there whenever required and business would be local which would fit my circumstances perfectly. What followed was the requisite 40hrs in car training learning the syllabus, improving my driving skills to pass part 2, delivering role play lessons as the instructor to Ian and observing live lessons and driving tests with learners & consultations with Amigos Romsey (thanks Tracey!) Throughout, Ian’s knowledge, expertise, endless energy and encouragement has been invaluable in getting me through my Part 2 at the first attempt. His guidance through the bureaucracy and practicalities of setting myself up with my Trainee Instructor’s (Pink) Licence and providing the leads to get me learner facing has been achieved with less fuss and stress than I would have thought possible at the beginning of the process. Putting the instructor training into practise with learners now is incredibly satisfying and the showing the value of putting all the work in to date. I have one further exam to go so I’m not quite finished yet but if the experience of training to date is anything to go on I’m confident that I’m in the best place to achieve a positive result and I’d recommend Ian’s services to anyone considering Driving Instruction as a career. Thanks Ian ! Arriba Amigos !

  Ian is a fantastic instructor who I would highly recommend. With his knowledge and experience, I was able to pass first time with two minors. Looking forward to my future driving career!

Ian was a great driving instructor! He gave me a lot of confidence and was very helpful with all the manoeuvres. Contact with Amigos driving was great and being able to organise weekly lessons was also really good and managed to get me to pass first time! Having now passed my test and driven quite a lot myself, I decided to contact Amigos Driving for a motorway lesson in order to make sure I'd be a safe and confident driver! The lesson went very well, going over the rules and basics of driving on the motorway and managing to practice getting on and off the motorway safely as well as overtaking when necessary. I would highly recommend taking a motorway lesson once you've passed your test!

I passed my driving test 2 weeks after contacting Ian for the first time. He helped me quit the bad habits I had developed overtime and get new and better ones. I had 2 failed driving test attempts with a previous instructor, but with his helpful handouts, tailor made lessons and teaching skills, Ian helped me gain my confidence back in my driving. In a single week, my driving was night and day different! I can’t recommend Ian enough, he’s patient and makes you feel comfortable as a learner. He will let you know what you are doing well, but also what you need to improve while encouraging you, so if you’re thinking about taking driving lessons with Amigos Driving School, don’t think twice.

Ian is a fantastic instructor and instilled in me a confidence in my driving that I previously did not think possible. He was reliable, punctual and professional, whilst at the same time made the driving lessons enjoyable. Ian was able to provide excellent flexibility around my schedule, and was available for extra lessons when requested. I highly recommend Amigo’s driving school and Ian as an instructor.

Ian is a great driving instructor and would recommend him to anyone! After giving me the confidence to take my driving test before the Christmas break, I was over the moon to have passed for the first time- this is a credit to his great tuition. Ian is very patient and thorough in his teaching- I found his well-prepared handouts extremely useful! Thank you Ian for all your time!

Ian has been immensly helpful from working around my sons Uni lectures to making himself available for a driving test. He has been flexible, approachable and extremely professional. I was willing to spend additional money on lessons but Ian advised they weren't needed which was really refreshing. It would have been easy for him to take additional money. Many thanks for getting the 'job' done!

Ian is a great instructor who really helped me prepare for driving, including all the niches the examiners expect to see, which many other instructors don’t teach. It was a pleasure using Amigos, and the sweets during the lesson were certainly a bonus.

Ian is a fantastic instructor! I had zero previous experience, and he turned me into a driver in roughly three months. If you are searching for high quality lessons with high teaching standards then look no further. Amigos has attention to detail and the capability of effectively delivering their syllabus, leaving you well prepared for your test. I definitely recommend!
