AA Driving School - Greater Wellington

Fantastic experience: Gary helped me pass my restricted last week, I think the guy I used to take lessons with spoon fed me too much, thanks to Gary all done and dusted now.

Fantastic experience: Great communication especially with my instructor, Garry. He taught me well to be more safe and confident on the road.

Fantastic experience: The advisor was so nice and clearly.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and thorough instruction, I'm feeling ready for the restricted test now. A+ would trade again.

Fantastic experience: Very good course, helped my driving

Positive experience: Defensive driving allowed me to become more aware of potential hazards and how to avoid them. What mostly struck me was the needs for the full license practical test. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is unsure or not confident to sit their full test.

Fantastic experience: Great course, learnt lots about hazard identification out on the road and different driving styles people have. Both the course booklet and eDrive online software were very useful and I will definitely be referring to both again in the future. Feel much more confident about passing my full test now, cheers!

Fantastic experience: Good learning outcomes, definitely helpful for shortening time on your restricted license, also picking up a lot of handy tips for everyday driving.

Fantastic experience: Great course. I have been driving for just over 8 years now and there were new things that i was learning after each session. Well worth it if you want to become a better and safer driver.

Fantastic experience: … yes, the Defensive Driving Course was excellent and very effective for me. The course structure found me as a Responsible Driver blended with Overconfidence and Unawareness – goes perfectly with my personality and I was not surprised. However, I found important suggestions, tips and advices from the instructor to reduce the risks due to overconfidence and unawareness. I also received valuable suggestions for my full license practical test. The homework, particularly the online driving was fun. It was like playing the video game. The instructor was excellent in delivering the course and answering questions. Thanks AA !

Positive experience: The course was taught well, but I expected different content. Rather than discussing general issues like drink/drug driving and fatigue, I was expecting to discuss some New-Zealand specific issues such as dealing with our specific road and weather-related hazards. I did, however, learn some valuable hints and information about how to pass my driving test!

Fantastic experience: This course has opened my eyes for the responsibilities of driving and also skills that I have to have on the road. Has helped me to identify the risks and hazards and how to manage them. I really enjoyed the time I spent on class and driving because Howard Watson the tutor is very calm, respectful and knowledgeable, special thanks to him. I have learned a lot and I will tell my friends that being part of this course, makes me feel a safer and confident driver. Thank you very much Carolina Feitosa

Positive experience: Really worth while, great tutor

Positive experience: I would definitely recommend to all learner drivers to gain confidence on the road. Wellington is a scary place to learn how to drive, so it was very helpful to have a calm and informative tutor.

Positive experience: Excellent content and really enjoyed the hands on book and e-driving. I wish I had done this course as a young person but its never too late to learn and brush up on skills.

Positive experience: Really useful information. Made me aware of a lot of information that I didn't know about before and has definitely made me a much more informed and aware driver. The 2 hour sessions don't seem that long, which means I found it engaging and interesting. Also get 6 months taken off your restricted which is great. It's a great course.

Positive experience: This course is super helpful if you're looking to take that next step from being on your restricted license to your full. The drive at the end is especially great at bringing to light some small pointers to help you in the test and make you a better driver. Thanks AA :)

Positive experience: The Defensive Driving course gave me great information. It is amazingly helpful for people who have that little bit of driving anxiety. It gives you the knowledge needed to identify and react correctly to hazardous situations. The use of eDrive adds to the overll learning. AND it knocks those few months of your license (Bonus!). Only reason i haven't given it 5 stars is because it costs a fair bit. The tutors were fantastic and very helpful with lots of little tips and tricks to help us pass our tests. :)

Fantastic experience: Really good course. Made me a safer driver

Fantastic experience: The defensive driving course was very informative. It has defiantly helped improve my driving awareness. Thanks

Positive experience: The course was pretty damn good thanks! There were some surprising facts like the number of metres a person will cover between the times which they recognise a hazard and react to it! Some very valuable strategies to take away from the course. Thank you. :)

Positive experience: This was a really good, informative course. It helped to reiterate points I learnt growing up and added further to my understanding of becoming a better, more responsible driver. Learnt that young children haven't yet developed their peripheral vision and taught me just how much fuel and money can be saved through eco driving! Anyway, enjoyed and would recommend!

Positive experience: Really helpful for young drivers and prepares you for identifying risks on the road. Also teaches you road safety at it's best.
