Best instructor out there
I had the amazing luck to have been assigned Mohammed Osman as my instructor from bill plant and I could not have been happier. Mohammed was a very important part of my journey of learning to drive, with a very in depth way of teaching and changing the lessons to better suit my preferred learning style I am happy to say I passed today after 6 months of lessons. I’m so happy I chose to find an instructor through bill plant as I found an amazing teacher who was patient and supportive. Could not give enough praise to Mohammad and would recommend him to anyone.

Super star instructor Jen Smith!
Super star instructor Jen Smith!
Jen has been fantastic while teaching me how to drive. From the start she made me feel very relaxed and calmed my anxiety of learning to drive. Along the way she was very patient and took the time to explain manoeuvres and how best to approach them. She has made learning to drive a really enjoyable experience and I couldn’t fault her on anything. So much so I recommended my brother learn with her which he is doing! I passed my test 20/04/26

Good driving instructor
Zain, I honestly can’t thank you enough, You’ve been so incredibly patient since day one, which really helped me stay calm and build my confidence step by step. You explained everything so clearly and made the tricky manoeuvres actually make sense. I really appreciated that you didn't just teach me how to drive, but how to stay safe and responsible on the road. I’m feeling so much more confident driving, thank you so much.

Avoid Bill Plant, They kept our money.
My advise would be to avoid Bill Plant Driving School, the instructor that was responsible for my daughters lessons was constistantly late, a lesson was arranged for her to be picked up from her new work place, the instructor text us to say he would be an hour late so a 17 year old girl was left stranded waiting alone, outside, in the dark, at place she didn't know. Obviously I went to collect her and once I had arrived the instructor had actually turned up around 20 minutes late. My daughter was extremely upset about being left alone in the dark and she was in tears, the instuctor could clearly see this but still tried to get her to take the lesson. We refused the lesson and came home. We then cancelled the remaining lessons we had paid for up front but the instructor has withheld the cost of the lesson which he turned up late for due to the fact we refused for her to drive in her distressed state. (Is it actually legal for a lesson to take place with a clearly distressed child??). We have raised a complaint to Bill Plant they will not refund the missing payment. So think carefully before spending your money with them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns, Paul.
We are very sorry to read about your daughter’s distressing experience. The welfare, safety, and wellbeing of all our learners — particularly young learners — is extremely important to us, and the situation you have described is understandably upsetting.
Punctuality and clear communication are expectations we place on all instructors, and we are concerned by what you have outlined regarding lateness, the change of pickup location, and your daughter being left waiting and distressed. Any learner who is visibly upset or uncomfortable should never feel pressured to continue with a lesson, and we are sorry that this situation escalated as it did.
With regard to refunds, all payments and cancellations are handled in line with our published terms and conditions. However, we recognise that circumstances such as those described warrant careful review, and these matters cannot be resolved fairly within a public forum.
As you have already raised this with our team, we would encourage continued direct communication so the full timeline, communications, and decision-making can be reviewed properly and impartially. This allows us to investigate instructor conduct and the refund outcome thoroughly and take any appropriate action.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Kind regards,
The Bill Plant Team

Avoid at all costs scam you out of your money and don't care
Enquired about a training course to become a driving instructor they didn't tell me until they took my money that it was a business to business contract and there was no cooling down period.
There's minimum support to help you also you have additional expenses like all the dvsa teats etc which mounts up when emailing and contacting them they just try to shit you down then threaten to cancel the course if you don't do it by their timescales

First time pass
I've just finished having lessons with Bill Plant driving school in Kendal Cumbria. My instructor Andy Jennings was first class from the get go and made me feel very comfortable and confident in driving. He was really easy going and patient and gave clear instructions and tips on how to drive and perform manoeuvres. With Andy's brilliant teaching skills I managed to pass first time! I would highly recommend him as an instructor! Thank you so much Andy!!

A big thank you to Emma Jack❤️
I recently passed my driving test first time and genuinely couldn’t be any happier with how my driving lessons with Emma Jack have gone! Emma is a patient, kind, non-judgemental and professional instructor, always taking into account how you are feeling on that day. I am quite an anxious person when it comes to learning new things, but every lesson I felt safe and listened to, and always felt that everything was explained to me in a way that really helped me to understand. I couldn’t sing her praises any higher - thank you Emma🚙❤️

REALLY BAD DRIVING SCHOOL!
If I could give this driving school a -5, I would without hesitation. I strongly advise others to avoid them.
The instructors representing this company behave in a way that feels dishonest and unprofessional, and customer service was dismissive and completely unhelpful when I raised concerns.
My instructor was intimidating, which made every lesson unnecessarily stressful and uncomfortable. No student should be made to feel anxious behind the wheel due to the behaviour of their instructor.
When I requested a refund, I received less than half of what I paid. This was justified with so-called “cancellations” that were never confirmed or agreed to in writing, which is completely unacceptable.
Overall, this experience felt exploitative and poorly handled from start to finish. I would strongly recommend choosing a more reputable and transparent driving school.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jordan.
We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take any concerns about instructor conduct and customer service very seriously, as creating a professional, supportive, and safe learning environment is a priority for us.
We are particularly concerned by your comments regarding feeling intimidated during lessons and the stress this caused. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we would want the opportunity to look into this properly. Likewise, concerns around refunds and cancellations are matters we handle in line with our published terms, and we recognise how frustrating it can feel if expectations are not aligned.
As reviews allow only limited detail, we would encourage you to contact us directly so we can review the full context of your lessons, communications, and refund calculation. This enables us to investigate thoroughly and respond fairly, rather than discussing individual circumstances publicly.
Please reach out to us at customerservices@billplant.co.uk, quoting your name and lesson details, and we will be happy to look into this further.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Dangerous Instructor
My partner’s former instructor, John Skilbeck, does not know how to drive:
1. John was teaching to indicate two junctions away, making other drivers believe they could pull out of the closest junction
2. He was teaching the wrong method of reverse-bay-parking, and upon him realising he had been teaching the wrong method he tried to disguise the new method under it being a better way / the original method is not wrong. However, the new method was still not correct in that he told her to feel when to turn and did not give direction such as the back wheel being halfway on the next bay at the point of turn
3. John was reluctant to teach the emergency stop: I had to have my partner request being taught this; he said that it is something she will not need, but he taught the emergency stop and he taught it wrong: it was taught as having to press both the brake and clutch together from the start, instead of applying the clutch just before coming to a stop
4. John didn’t correct hands crossing the 12 o clock position
5. He told my partner that it is okay to cut across a roundabout, instead of keeping to the correct lane
6. John did not know how to reverse around a corner
My partner asked how many students he had passed, and John said one student but I believe he likely would not have had any students pass.
On top of the extremely poor tuition, John often had his hands down his boxer shorts and he kept his legs spread to the point my partner could not change into first gear.
My partner stayed with him due to the test being close, but in the end he cancelled with her after insisting to be taught the emergency stop. She was relying on me to correct his mistakes so that she may have a chance of passing.

Hi MJ,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
We are very concerned to read the issues you’ve raised regarding your partner’s experience, particularly around the quality of tuition and the conduct described. These matters are taken extremely seriously.
All of our instructors are expected to teach strictly in line with DVSA standards and to maintain professional behaviour at all times. Any suggestion that instruction was unsafe, incorrect, or that conduct was inappropriate falls well below the standards we require and expect.
Because this review raises several significant allegations, we would strongly encourage your partner to contact us directly so we can investigate this thoroughly and fairly. This allows us to review lesson records, speak with the instructor involved, and take appropriate action where necessary.
Please contact us at customerservices@billplant.co.uk with your partner’s name and lesson details so we can follow this up as a priority.
We are sorry to hear about this experience and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.
Kind regards,
The Bill Plant Team
