I found Capital Driver Training online, and was a little suspicious about how glowing the feedback seemed to be for Sean and his business. A few weeks later I can safely say he's earned all the praise and more. He was friendly, professional and accommodating. Worked with me to iron out a few kinks in my schedule and brilliantly coached me to a first time pass. Already passed his details to a few palls, and would be happy to recommend him to any aspiring drivers. Cheers Sean!

My experience with Capital Driver Training was poor. I recently completed an intensive course, which consisted of 35 hours over two and half weeks. Firstly their booking and payment system is frustrating and flawed. They require you to pay a deposit before they can even confirm they have availability on particular dates. Then if they can't supply suitable dates, the onus is on the customer to request a refund. After paying my deposit, I didn't receive a proper email confirmation. Then, when I received the request for the remainder of the payment, I was not supplied with an invoice, I had to request one. I was also asked to bring along a signed copy of their terms and conditions to my first lesson, but these were also not supplied. Again I had to request them. It was pretty shoddy and unprofessional, and this was before I'd even sat in a car. Then the quality of instruction was poor. It seems a bit grand to describe what I undertook as a 'course' - there was no structured learning or development stages or goals or targets. It was merely a series of consecutive lessons. My instructor was amiable enough, but was not very professional. He spent the majority of each lesson chatting about his personal life and sharing his views on every conceivable topic, to the point that I lost count the amount of times I had to ask which direction I should turn at the end of a road because he was too busy talking. There was also very little rigour or structure to the teaching. It was all very lacklustre and vague. For instance, I was not even told that the driving test had a section called 'show me, tell me' questions. I found out about this myself on the internet two days before my test, then had to specifically ask the instructor to talk me through it. Also as the 'course' went on, he was 10 minutes late most days so I probably only had 34 hours of instruction for the price of 35. Needless to say I did not pass after completing this set of lessons. They were an expensive waste of time and money and I would not recommend Capital Driver Training.

I passed with Sean in Edinburgh the first time in 2015 with only 2 minors. Before I met Sean I had had two previous instructors who were sub par in comparison. Sean corrected me up straight away and made me feel at ease, confident and happy to be driving. Always straight to the point, helpful and easy to understand instructions. I cannot recommend him enough! 😁

I would highly recommend Sean as a driving instructor. He has a great understanding of teaching driving skills, and explains procedures clearly and accurately. I had previously failed my test and had not driven for a few months before I started lessons with him. Sean quickly spotted areas I needed focused practise on and his lessons quickly built my confidence. He targeted areas at a good pace and I improved steadily. Soon after I was able to pass my test with only 3 minors which is testament to his teaching and instilling good habits - especially when it came to roundabouts! Thank you again Sean.
