As I didn't have a car at home to practice in, my entire learning to drive experience was my weekly driving lessons with Andrew. He was always helpful, with a pleasant and kind demeanor, and I cannot recommend him enough as a driving instructor.

Coastwide has been a fantastic school to learn with, their telephone and internet service is great for booking and managing your lessons. I would really like to recommend Sue as an instructor, I passed today in Caloundra on my first attempt with her help, advice and encouragement. Moving from Scotland and learning in a new country was really daunting but she made it simple and enjoyable!

Thomas

Driving for the first time can obviously be a very daunting prospect for many new drivers, myself included. But my driving instructor (Sue Ottaway) was a strong enforcer of the idea of 'calm in the car,' which made my first experiences in a car much easier and less nerve-wracking. The positive reinforcement helped me to gain confidence on the road, and there was a very obvious change (for the better) in my driving before I started lessons and after even my first one.
Five stars! :)

Wonderfully calm and informative, Patrick provided a very good set of driving instructions to my son Riley. He was encouraging and gave Riley confidence,plus all the required information about the little bad habits that get overlooked without a proper driving instructor. Very happy!

I want to thank Barry Spencer from Coast Wide Driving School for helping me pass my test first go! From the very first lesson he made me feel comfortable and put my anxiety at ease. Barry is an amazing teacher with a great sense of humour, he’s very professional, knowledgeable, with the best tips and advice. He helped build my confidence and believed in me when I doubted myself. I was once a nervous passenger walking my son to school but now I can officially say I’m a proud driver thanks to Barry and Coast wide. I highly recommend this driving school.

I would highly recommend Coastwide Driving School.
My daughter had 10 lessons including the free "Keys 2 Drive" over a year ago. More recently, in the lead up to her test, I arranged for the 4 hr test package. Driving instructor, Urmila Karan, was fantastic at ensuring Bella was well prepared for her test. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Urmila couldn't be there on the test day but Coastwide quickly arranged for Penny Mills to cover (thank you for coming in on your day off Penny!) Bella successfully obtained her licence, first attempt, last Monday. Yippee! Both Urmila & Penny were friendly, professional, encouraging & supportive.
The online booking process at Coastwide is very easy. Communication is excellent, phone staff are friendly & go out of their way to help, (thank you Marilyn). SMS & email notifications provide timely reminders of lessons.
I have 3 more children who will need to learn to drive so you'll be seeing more of us in the future Coastwide!
Thank you very much for the great service you provide.

Patrick is very calm. He reads my move and interprets my actions, and gives me feedback and possible outcome. He commends me whenever I did something right, and it boosts my confidence a lot. Overall I can say that Patrick is a very good driving instructor.

Andy Jones is the best instructor I have ever had. He was always on time to my house and was very friendly and easy to talk to. I started in a manual with him being very nervous but he helped me to become a better and safer driver. He focused largely on making sure I was comfortable and also was very knowledgable when it came to the road rules. I would 100% recommend anyone that needs lessons in a manual car to go with Andy.

Hi Coastwide,
Yes, James' instructor was Andrew Holdom who got him through his test earlier today - first time around! This was particularly appreciated as James is at boarding school and not able to drive regularly at all. Andrew worked only a couple of times last holidays and again a couple of times in the last week to secure this great result.

THANK YOU! Best wishes, Holly and James Kenny
