I had a really great experience with my driving lessons. My instructor was patient, calm, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. They made me feel comfortable from day one, which really helped build my confidence on the road.

Thanks to their guidance and support, I passed my driving test! I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to feel prepared and confident for their test.

Anthony was fabulous! My son went through several driving instructors before we found Anthony. He felt extremely comfortable with him and came back from each lesson upbeat and confident. He got his licence on the first go, with a flawless drive! We can’t recommend Anthony enough. Wish we had of found him straight away.

My daughter has been having driving lessons with Anthony. She has just gone on to pass her P’s. He is a fantastic driving instructor. He made her feel very comfortable, relaxed and taught her all the necessary safety tips and tricks. He made the whole process from L’s to P’s simple and smooth. Thanks again Anthony!

Anthony coached my son through how the P plate test is held and what is covered, as well as the common routes taken. He got him up to speed on all the small details that are needed to get and hold your licence and perfected those skills that are important to be a safe and confident driver. Anthony also went out of his way to fit in lessons when we had limited time. We highly recommend Anthony as a driving instructor, our son passed first go.

Advance Driver Training is a amazing driving school that I would highly recommend, when I started my lessons I only had 50 hours and it was 2 months until my 21st. In that little amount of time Anthony helped me not only get my ps but also feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, they truly are the best instructors in town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Recommend Anthony for any parent trying to decide on driving school for their learner driver. He easily guided Alice through from lessons to driving test, with Ali achieving her P plates on her first attempt.

I highly recommend this driving school! They're so nice, and after just three lessons with Anthony, I passed my license test. He taught me everything I needed to know and made sure I was completely ready. Definitely check them out if you're looking to get your license!

We booked driving lessons with Anthony for our son to prepare for his licence test. Anthony was fantastic, very calm and put us at ease instantly. He was punctual, polite, professional and his highly valuable expertise enabled my son to pass his test first time. We wouldn’t have any other driving instructor. Thank you Anthony 😄

I highly recommend Advance Driver Training Bendigo! Anthony was an amazing instructor for both me and my husband. We both passed our driving test on the first try, and my husband was especially nervous because his English is still limited. Anthony was incredibly patient, supportive and explained everything in a calm and clear way, which made a huge difference for us.

You can really see his years of experience through the way he teaches. The lessons were always professional, well organised and very helpful. The car was always clean and comfortable, and Anthony gave great guidance and confidence throughout the whole process.

Thank you again for all the support and patience, we truly appreciate it!

I highly recommend Anthony as a driving instructor to anyone preparing for their driving test. His patience, professionalism, and clear guidance made a huge difference in building my confidence behind the wheel. He explained everything thoroughly, corrected my mistakes constructively, and ensured I was fully prepared for every aspect of the test.

Thanks to his excellent teaching methods and encouragement, I was able to pass my driving test on my very first attempt. Every lesson was well-structured, informative, and focused on improving both my driving skills and road awareness.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and reliable driving instructor, I couldn’t recommend Anthony more highly. Thank you for helping me Anthony to achieve this important milestone!

I started lessons as a 30 year old with very little driving experience and was anxious about learning to drive and any judgement about my age.

Anthony never once judged me or made me feel uncomfortable for my age or ability, and he also built up my confidence whilst teaching me to drive.

Anthony is the calm, easy going teacher every new driver deserves. I did several lessons and in only a few months I got my P plates.

I highly recommend this service for anyone learning how to drive. Thank you Anthony.
