A big thanks to Rosie from ADA who helped me advance through the logbook. She was patient and understanding throughout, and helped me gain my license and become a better driver overall.

Barani was very professional, informative and supportive. He highlighted my strengths in driving and recognised my weaknesses, providing guidance as to how I can improve my skills.

I highly recommended this driving school to anyone. I heard a lot of stressful experiences from friends that have been driving for years in other country to unlearn and re-learn new driving habit to safely drive in Australia. My own experience with Mr Barani has been great, not an easy task to re-learn when you already have your own driving habit. On the very first lesson, Mr Barani asked me to drive, for him to assess my driving skills. From there, he acknowledge the right skills and correct the wrong one. He is very encouraging and continuously providing tips to drive safely and giving reason

Driving lessons at Adelaide Driving Academy were fantastic! The instructor was always professional, able to talk me through my mistakes in a manner in which I could understand and consistently build and grow my confidence and skills throughout the course. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is just starting their hours and wants to build a solid foundation, or people who want to polish up and learn tips and tricks for their exam!
