Customer review from Victoria Landale
I learned to drive and successfully passed my test using Bill and Fastpass driving school and it was great.
Driving didn’t come naturally to me and i had trouble finding time to fit in my driving lessons with such a hectic schedule working full time shift work and attending college but Bill was always accommodating to my requirements. When driving with Bill he was always a calming person to talk too and could keep anyone calm and help build confidence. Always lovely and friendly whilst teaching you to the highest standards!
I would recommend Bill to anyone and have done with a few of my peers also choosing to learn with him and enjoying it as much as i did.

Customer review from Lauren Brown
Bill was an excellent instructor and was always more than willing to help me through any problems I had; no matter how small I thought they were!
What I did in my driving lessons always varied which kept me interested. I always came away feeling better than I did the lesson before.
Bill taught me methods and gave me advice which were specifically tailored to myself which I found extremely useful.
Passed first time with few minors, would recommend Fastpass Driving School to anybody!

Aaron Carey Customer Review
I first started driving lessons with Bill when I was still at school as I enrolled for an after school course in the Fastpass Driving School under 17s group. from that point on he has always been consistently helpful and taught me the skills I needed to pass the driving test first time. He is an excellent person, and he won’t tell you to do anything out side of your limits and will always make sure you feel comfortable whilst learning. over all I would definitely recommend Bill to anyone and that anyone who chooses Bill as their driving instructor has made the best choice they ever could.

Customer review from Lauren Butler
I passed my driving test in May 2013 with Fastpass Driving School. I was recommended to Bill by a friend, and I am very pleased I took up this recommendation. I feel as though I was taught not only the essential skills needed to pass a driving test (both practical and theory), but how to drive my own car by myself after passing, which made the transition from learning to drive to becoming an independent driver after passing stress free and enjoyable. Learning with Fastpass Driving School gave me confidence as a driver, and I also enjoyed the experience, I would definitely recommend learning to drive with Bill!

Customer review from Lewis Heslop
Hi, I passed in August with Bill and I can honestly say that I would recommend him to anyone. Having been learning to drive through the Under 17s Club at Fastpass Driving School, I can say that bill is a very patient instructor who is there to help you all the way and is especially good at identifying areas with which you might be struggling. The driving lessons are relaxed an enjoyable which makes the whole process a lot easier, thanks Bill!

Customer Review Erin
Erin from Heaton. Customer Review.

I was very nervous about driving lessons, so I was very happy when I met Bill. He is such a calm person and instantly put me at ease. The fact he said I would be the one to confirm that I could move forward at my pace. Left me very reassured. The result was a steady progress with my driving lessons and I passed my driving test at Long Benton driving test centre.

Customer review from Douglas Park
Back in 2012 I started Bill’s under 17 course with only a few months until my 17th birthday. It gave me all the basic skills that I needed, so that I could get out on the road with confidence as soon as I turned 17. I found the under 17 course an enjoyable and very valuable experience, which made the progression into driving lessons on the road much smoother and quicker. When we got out onto the road I found the driving lessons very enjoyable, with a good range of topics covered each lesson. What I also liked about the lessons was that the atmosphere was friendly and manoeuvres (as challenging as some may be) were explained in such a way that you couldn’t go wrong. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bill, and I highly recommend him and Fastpass Driving School! I Passed first time within 7 weeks of my 17th birthday.

Customer review from Anna Sanderson
After 17 yr of stopping and starting driving lessons I decided at the ripe old age of 34 to start again. I was lucky to find Bill Golder to be my final driving instructor. He is the first instructor that I felt comfortable and confident with. He had an air about him that said “I know what I’m doing and I’m good at it”. And that he was. He built my confidence and made me believe in myself that I could achieve it. I booked my test for my daughters 18th b-day which also turned out to be Bills. Knew then that I wasn’t allowed to fail. I passed my test with only 3 minors which I incurred in the last five minutes. Anyway to cut a long story short….this man is a fantastic driving instructor and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for helping me achieve my license and keep up the good work Bill.

Customer Reviews

Bob from Cramlington. I was recommended to Bill from a friend. I was moving to Cyprus in 3 weeks and my job involved driving. I had to pass my driving test urgently or cancel everything. Bill pulled out all the stops. I was a wreck with the pressure, but he coaxed me through it. The mans a Diamond. Passed at Blyth test centre 2 days before I flew.

Dave from Killingworth. Having trained with an other driving school previously, I can appreciate why it’s important to get it right 1st time. My first experience was expensive because I was not learning anything. Bill taught me more in one lesson than I had learned in months.Best instructor in Whiley Bay.

Gemma from Bedlington. After 25 hours of lessons with my previous driving school, I was ready to give up. I hated every minute of it. A friend suggested I speak to Bill from Fastpass Driving School. My first lesson changed everything, I made progress, I had fun, I couldn’t believe the difference. The mans a genius. Passed 1st time.

Lauren from Seaton Delaval. I felt learning with an advanced driving instructor was a good idea. Bill focussed totally on my needs and concerns. I liked the On-Line training service it was excellent, when combined with the handouts I had everything covered. A number of my friends are now learnng with Fastpass Driving school.

Michael from Tynemouth. I needed to pass my test to keep my job. While everyone was trying to hurry me along, Bill was a calming influence and steered me to a comfortable pass. I was introduced to him by my brother Alex who had also been trained by Bill and I would recommend him to anyone for driving lessons.
