Excellence Driving Academy Palmerston North, Palmerston North | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My son was required to do a Defensive Driving Course and we chose Excellence Driving Academy. Wendy and Tony could not have been more helpful and professional. They both went the extra mile in their roles to ensure my son completed the course and passed.
I would absolutely recommend Excellence Driving Academy.

My Grandson had been given lessons by various members of his family and he was doing really well. We suggested he have a couple of lessons from excellence driving academy which he was eager to do. They were all very good and he only needed three lessons before he was ready to go for his restricted which he went for and got first time. Would recommend the excellence driving academy to give your person the opportunity to be the best.

My step-son failed his first restricted test (with another Driver Training company); he nearly had an accident when doing a right turn when crossing a busy highway. The challenges he had to overcome were (1) how to deal with the pressures of gap selection and not holding-up traffic when at a busy cross-road; (2) how to deal with the anxiety and post-traumatic stress that comes with having had a previous bad experience; (3) how to deal with the self-doubt and fear of failing again. Many driving schools around the country have very good instructors. But not all instructors are able to teach. They will give directions on how to drive. Tony Green is truly unique and has a unique teaching style. He is one of the best teachers I have met and observed. He makes every effort to understand his student’s needs, and ensure they are confident. I like how he will get the student out of the car to analyse traffic flow at the roadside of a busy intersection in explaining the decision-making process with gap selection and how to safely cross a busy intersection. This is just one example. As a result of Tony’s expert tuition my step-son overcame his self-doubt, fear and anxiety today. He faced the fear-inducing intersection and safely made it across. He passed his restricted driver’s licence. Thanks Tony. We can’t express our gratitude enough for your patience, calm manner, encouragement and passion for teaching safe driving. You are more than just a great teacher. Palmerston North and Christchurch are very lucky to have you. I would highly recommend Excellence Driving Academy. You won’t be disappointed!

I went to excellence very nervous but they improved my confidence on the road, and in ten lessons was able to pass my restricted license. You may think “what a simulation test na that’s not real driving” let me tell ya that simulator is such a good idea your able to be put into any situation you can think of, this is great cause it’s not always gonna be busy or raining or sunny in real life, but it can I’m the simulator without having to go on a real road, and it feels just like real thing, all of the instructors are awesome people very friendly and very fun to just talk to, all of them are very good at there job. I’m recommending to go there if your reading this it’s a no brainer they are the best in the business.

Would very much recommend- as a very rusty learner after some years overseas not driving. Excellence helped me on my restricted test and then later took some lessons with Christina before passing my full licence test. Much appreciated!
