This test centre is amazing, its out of the way abit so defienly helps with the nerves. This was my second attempt at my test my first one was at chilwell and failed that as it was just straight into busy roads in notts. At colwick the type of roads easier to start with so you can breathe abit before the harder parts. The examiner i had was called paul, he was friendly, chatty, calm and very reassuring. I passed and it was actually a amazing experience this time round i definitely recommend this test centre its the best one in notts and derby by far!
My son is in the middle of his A levels and had a driving test booked making sure it did not fall on a test day . He as enough to worry about and to top it off on the day of his test less than 2 hours from the test he get a call from the test centre telling him it’s been cancelled. Now he has got to rebook a new date trying to work around his tests , let his instructor that the test has been cancelled and he won’t need the car or lesson before.
It makes my blood boil when they tell you , you need 3 clear days to cancel.
This is not good enough
Passed my test on Saturday on the 6th attempt! 5 Tests were at Colwick, with 4 different examiners all of which were very professional and lovely people. I passed this weekend with Tony and just wanna commend him for being such a top man. I'd failed 5 times before this and he really did a great job of making me feel relaxed from the start. I strongly recommend sticking it out if you guys don't get lucky on the day and unfortunately fail! Every driving examiner at Colwick is very professional and very fair at what they do.
First day of tests after covid's second lockdown. The centre was very busy with 8 cars leaving simultaneously. An army of examiners came out the centre and I was eager to get the test done. Hazel was my examiner and she was lovely. Once we set off, she asked me about my job, and I asked her about hers; naturally we spoke about covid also. We had a nice drive, and she clarified confusing directions with the satnav. After what I thought was a "fine drive", I had passed but with 7 minor faults. She debriefed my instructor and I about these faults and complimented me "nice drive".
After reading previous comments, I must say that if the only way you can pass your test is if you have an examiner that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, then you shouldn't pass. An examiner isn't there to rub your back while you drive for the rest of your driving-life. As others have said, If you are prepared and can drive well, then you'll pass no matter what. Simple as that.
Thank you Hazel, and thank you Colwick Driving Centre.
Would be no stars if was possible!!
Why would an instructor not allow air con in temperature of 32°!!!
Absolutely ridiculous! Especially as masks are currently mandatory!!
Disgusted!
