If you are looking for laid back but also very in depth lessons then look no further. Mohammed Arfan has it all covered. I don't think you will find a better instructor in and around Rochdale. He makes the lessons so calm and with his straight forward instructions to be honest you wouldn't think your doing a driving lesson. Not at one point did I feel I would fail my test with the help of Muhammad's knowledge. All I can say is thank you and I hope many more pss through this company because they are definitely the best around

Reagan B.

I honestly can’t thank Zahid enough! From day one, he has been so patient, supportive and encouraging, helping me build my confidence and believe in myself. I’ve officially passed my driving test FIRST TIME! I couldn’t have done it without all the help, guidance and encouragement from Zahid. I would 100% recommend him to anyone learning to drive! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a fantastic experience learning with Zaheer from Time2Drive. He is a very friendly, professional, and patient instructor who always made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His calm approach and clear explanations helped me improve with every lesson. Zaheer is not only an excellent coach but also a genuinely nice person who cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

Muhammad H.

I had an excellent learning experience with Mohammad Arfan. He is patient, professional, and explains everything very clearly. His teaching style helped me build confidence quickly, and I’m happy to say I passed my driving test on the first attempt! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

Vicky O.

I had Zahid as my driving instructor and he was the most loveliest teacher I could have. He remained professional and reliable throughout the 10 months I was taking lessons for. He was so supportive even when I was discouraged and felt like I wasn’t going to be able to pass as I had failed the first time (due to me being anxious and inexperienced). However I have passed today and it’s all due to my instructor’s efficient teaching and unwavering dedication in helping me get my license. Zahid was very flexible with the days I had available and often moved things around to make it suitable for me. I highly recommend using Time2Drive Driving School as they are a good company.

Falua O.

Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test on the first try. I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Muhammad Usama S.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my driving instructor, Mohammed Arfan. His exceptional teaching skills, patience, and dedication played a huge role in helping me pass my UK driving test on the very first attempt. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, breaking down every skill and manoeuvre in a clear, calm, and supportive way. He never hesitated to repeat lessons when I needed more practice, and he always encouraged me to believe in myself. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to his students truly set him apart. I’m incredibly thankful for the guidance and motivation he provided throughout my learning journey. It’s because of his efforts that I was able to achieve this milestone. Thank you so much, Mohammed Arfan, for helping me become a safe and confident driver.
