  • “It was such a great and helpful experience! Michelle was very helpful in teaching the road code in a variety of ways! The Driving Hub helped me to gain enough confidence to complete my learners licence!”

    ELLA

  • “The Driving Hub was essential to me getting my Full licence! Nerves meant that I kept putting the test off. After a lesson, I felt a lot better about where I was sitting, and knew exactly what I needed to work on. I worked on the pointers I was given for a couple of weeks, and a few weeks later the instructor said they could really see the improvements I'd made, which made me feel good. I went into the test feeling really confident knowing that I'd had a couple of lessons, and I passed with flying colours! In fact, it was so easy I thought I'd failed! The lessons from The Driving Hub made all the difference. I highly recommend it to anyone who is going for their licence - no matter what level."

    REBECCA

  • “The Driving Hub was extremely helpful. I had my Restricted licence for eight years, with no intentions of going for my Full. Being on a programme at The Development Hub opened my eyes to how many more opportunities are opened up when you have your Full licence. They helped me get a copy of my birth certificate so I could renew my expired licence, which they also helped me with. I was then able to have some lessons to get my Full. It was really helpful as you don’t realise how many bad habits you’ve got until someone else is sitting in the car who knows how you are supposed to drive.”

    Stevie

  • “The Driving Hub helped me in so many ways to get my Full licence. I knew most of the road rules but not all of them. Thanks to Te Atakura for pointing out my rights and wrongs and also making it easy for me to understand the things I needed a bit more work on. I loved the fact that I passed my Full test before I was 19. I am also so grateful to The Hub and to Te Atakura.”

    Chancey

  • “While I had had my Restricted licence for going on 5 years and had the intention of getting my Full licence, The Driving Hub helped me gain the extra confidence I needed behind the wheel! Te Atakura was awesome and gave me lots of tips on how to fix my mistakes. Plus, the practice tests were what I really appreciated because that feedback helped me greatly in my preparation for the driving test. I passed on my first try thanks to them and now that's one less thing to worry about and one more thing I can be proud of :) Thank you Driving Hub!“
