Congratulations Finn from Polegate on passing your driving test!  

Maria has been amazing, she was very patient with me from the beginning. She always gave me clear instructions whenever I was confused. I never felt rushed whenever I was a bit stuck. Always encouraged me and built my confidence up extremely quick. I don't have a single bad thing to say about our lessons. I would highly recommend her.

Finn's dad said: 'Thank you so much for teaching Finn to drive. You've given Finn an amazing experience on his journey to passing his test. Im extremely grateful we found you.'

Well done Holly from Polegate on passing your driving test! What an achievement! 

I was looking for a driving instructor when I thought it was time that I needed to start driving. My mum ended up finding CCS Driving and it had amazing reviews and I saw people local to me that had passed. I contacted them and Maria ended up calling me very quickly and we discussed what i knew about driving. I started learning and Maria was very patient with me through the whole process and made me feel very comfortable in her company. I soon realised I needed to book a test and although I didn't pass first time Maria didnt make me feel disheartened about it and managed to get another test very quickly and I passed! Maria helped me find this and during the lesson beforehand made me feel very confident about my test. After I passed Maria was very happy for me as was I. I couldnt have asked for a nicer driving instructor throughout my driving journey and I will miss all the chats we used to have! :)

Well done Sophie from Polegate on passing your driving test!

I used CCS Driving School because it was local, had the best prices compared to other instructors and driving companies and it was really well reviewed online and on your website. It felt fantastic to finally pass, after learning for over a year and then not getting through my first test it was such a relief to pass it on the second try. Maria made me feel really confident and ready to take it and I felt really well prepared and not nervous about it. Maria was really really supportive and lovely all the way from when I started to when I passed. She was kind and patient and explained how the car worked and driving rules really well and easily. I never felt like I was confused about how I was driving or how to do any manoeuvres because of how well she explained them. She even made sure we had dedicated lessons to anything I was struggling on or wanted to practice. I would 100% recommend her, she's such a laugh and really friendly. I couldn't have had a better teacher!

Congratulations Luke from Hampden Park on passing your driving test first time!

I was looking for a driving instructor and was recommended by two people to use CCS; one had Chris and one had Maria. So, glad I went with them :) When I passed my driving test, I have to admit I felt a bit overwhelmed in a good way! You tend to have all sorts of thoughts running through your head prior to the test but it feels so good to finally have my full license. Chris is a super guy and a great instructor. We got on well from the first lesson which made it more comfortable. Chris is very good at guiding you through the Do's and Dont's and really helps you perfect your driving. I appreciate all the help and thank you for getting me to the end!

Congratulations Gemma from Hailsham on passing your driving test first time!

As soon as I turned 17 I was researching different driving schools and came across CCS. After I had read through their website and seen the reviews about them I knew I wanted to learn with them. After passing my test i felt so happy that all the hard work and effort I had put into my lessons with Maria had paid off. Maria is a friendly and patient instructor and she tailors each lesson to fit any weaknesses I have. I really recommend and can’t thank her enough for all her help. 

Congratulations Levi from Hailsham on passing your driving test first time!

I used CCS driving school because I wanted an instructor who was patient and willing to take time throughout my learning. It felt so great having passed, it took a few days to actually hit me that I can now drive wherever I want whenever I want. I liked how happy and keen my instructor was to teach, but also treating me like a friend learning to drive rather than just another student to get through the system

Congratulations Len from Hailsham on passing your driving test first time, with ZERO driving faults!

Congratulations Amber from Polegate on passing your driving test! 

I chose CCS driving school as it’s a family run business in my local area, offering block booking and student discount options. My experience of learning to drive with CCS was joyful; the sense of accomplishment after passing my test was incredible. I couldn’t have done it without the help of my wonderful instructor Maria; her patience and understanding made me feel comfortable while learning, giving me reassurance and believing I could do it made me a more confident driver.

I chose CCS Driving School because it was a family run business, the prices were incredibly good. It was such a relief passing my driving test as I had been waiting for months because of lockdowns, I was over the moon! My instructor Chris was very understanding and helped me out with any queries I had with driving and any other driving related questions. He was very friendly, and a brilliant instructor couldn’t fault him in any way .

Congratulations to Dylan from Hailsham on passing your driving test first time!

I was first recommended CCS Driving from a friend. I saw that  you had a high pass rate so I thought I would give you a try. When I passed my test  it was a huge weight off my shoulders as I felt a lot of pressure to pass it. I thought Chris was very friendly and helpful throughout the learning process and would definitely recommend CCS Driving to others. 

Dylan's mum said, 'Would thoroughly recommend CCS Driving School. My son had Chris as his instructor who he felt very comfortable with and he was very patient and understanding. He started with hourly lessons increasing to an hour and a half nearer to his test. The price of the lessons we thought were very reasonable compared to some others. We had great communication with Chris and he never let us down. After having a test cancelled due to Covid restrictions he did his best to fit my son in with a lesson on his day off before his rebooked test and he passed first time. Couldn’t fault them in any way and would recommend to friends.

Congratulations to Porscha from Hampden Park on passing her driving test with only a couple driving faults!

My parents came across CCS Driving online and really liked the sound of Maria and Chris as instructors and after having my first lesson with Maria I knew that I’d enjoy driving lessons with her. It felt amazing to pass my test, I felt I had really earned it after working so hard on getting my driving to the standard it is now at. Also, after not passing the first time Maria was really supportive and ensured I did not give up on it and I think that’s a big part of why I passed my test with only a couple minors. I liked how we were able to have really interesting discussion it wasn’t just a driving lesson it was like driving with a friend, I’d really recommend CCS Driving!   

Congratulations to Sophie from Hailsham on passing her driving test first time!

I came across CCS Driving School facebook page and was impressed by their reviews, I then spoke to a previous driver who passed with CCS who spoke very highly of them and advised me strongly to give them a text and start my driving journey with them. I felt relieved and extremely happy to have passed my test first time. I liked learning with Maria as she was very understanding, helpful and supportive. I would recommend anyone wanting to start driving to get in touch with CCS Driving School!

I chose CCS Driving School as my brother learned to drive with Chris and said he was a great instructor and helped my brother pass his test first time so it was a no brainier for me really. It was great that I also passed first time with only two minors! It now means I have a lot more freedom and don’t have to rely on others to get me to and from places which is super relieving. 

I got on really well with Chris, he’s easy to chat and helps keep everything relaxed except when there’s something you really need to crack down on which was really helpful.

Congratulations Ella on passing your driving test first time!

 I chose CCS as I knew I wanted to learn with a smaller business rather than with a large company. You both offer affordable lessons and from the word go you very responsive and easy to talk to. I stuck with Maria due to her calm nature and she made me feel very comfortable even when I made mistakes haha! I knew she could get me to where I wanted to be! It feels great to pass first time! Learning to drive has opened up so many opportunities for me. Maria has always made me feel comfortable during my lessons and stays calm, which is great if you are quite nervous. I liked that introductions to each lesson were kept short so that I was able to make the most out of the time we had, and I loved that I had just as much input into the lesson plans in case I wanted to focus on something in particular :)

Congratulations Martha on passing your driving test first time with only 1 driving fault!

I chose CCS Driving School because it looked friendly and I wanted to learn with a small company rather than some of the larger ones in Eastbourne.  It felt amazing to pass my test as I felt like all my hard work over the months had paid off.  I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Chris is very friendly and laidback which made the lessons relaxed and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Chris as an instructor for anyone looking to start lessons!

It was such a relief, driving on my own is a-bit weird but I'll get used to it! Chris is an amazing instructor, he helped me get out of some bad habits whilst teaching me easier ways to get around. He's also got a great sense of humour 😂 always made me chuckle!

CCS was recommended to me by a friend and after seeing you had very good online reviews I decided to learn with CCS.

Passing my driving test was one of the best feelings. I was so happy and I felt ready to go out driving on my own that same day. 

My instructor Maria was kind and patient when teaching me to drive. Maria was very professional, always reliable for lessons and taught me so well that I was ready to drive on my own as soon as I passed. 

It felt  AMAZING  to pass first time!

Having had lessons from another instructor I had very little confidence but Chris was excellent at giving me the extra confidence I needed for my driving. Chris was very honest with me, he gave me constructive criticism and didn’t molly-coddle me but let me make my own decisions. I really enjoyed the lessons. Chris made me feel at ease and didn’t pressurise me, he taught me to learn to drive how it suited me.

I passed first time! Chris had the patience of a saint! He never rushed me and always asked what I wanted to focus on or if there was a specific area around me that I wanted to drive around. 

Why did you decide to use CCS Driving School? I wanted a driving instructor in my local area and the website attracted me.

How did it feel to pass your test?An absolute relief! I’m very happy!

What did you like about your instructor?I liked that Chris was honest and always gave me really constructive feedback; he always focused in on the positives and then told me the things that required more work and improvement. Chris always kept me feeling up beat even when I made mistakes, and this gave me confidence when driving.

I passed first time! I liked the way it wasn’t rushed and it was done at a steady pace. I felt very relaxed and it was good to be able to have a natter while learning at the same time; before I knew it I became a really good driver.

Passing felt amazing, knowing all the hard work was over, and being able to get onto the road.  Chris was a very patient instructor, taking time to work on areas you need to improve. He took time to explain things I was not too sure on.

I decided to use CCS Driving School as I was very impressed with the reviews on the website. When the examiner told me that I had passed my driving test I was very excited and relieved that I had accomplished it first time.
