Wayne was very professional and had a great manner as a teacher, helping my daughter to feel relaxed and confident. The Driving Test Package was particular helpful and I highly recommend it. Wayne will take the student through a lesson under pre-test conditions, allow use of his car for the test, and even stays with you during the review process with TMR. With Wayne’s help, we nailed the test first go and we can’t recommend Wayne highly enough. Many thanks from a happy parent and newbie P-plater

Highly recommend Epic Driving School, I can not thank Wayne enough for all his help and guidance to get my manual license. I have always been an incredibly nervous learner and had put it off for years. But Wayne was brilliant, his calmness and encouragement put me at ease and I could not have done it without his expertise. I just passed Yesterday! Thank you again

Wayne was great. Really easy going i was super anxious as an older driver due to past incidents and he helped ease all that discomfort without judgement, he did casual check ins on how I was feeling. Can't thank him enough for helping me get my manual licence.

Wayne is a fantastic driving instructor who is calm, kind, informative and supportive. Wayne knows how to make a learner driver feel confident in themselves and their abilities. I have used Wayne to instruct three of my children. Two have already gained their P license - having passed the test first time - and one is currently on Learners. The package deals are great value and the booking and communication process is easy. I highly recommend Wayne at Epic Driving School.

My daughter passed first time with Epic which is a testament to Wayne as a driving instructor as we only had an automatic car for her to practice in! In a few lessons, he managed to get her confident and proficient enough to pass a manual car test. Also of importance is that my daughter felt comfortable with him and enjoyed his company. Highly recommend!

The lessons are all always enjoyable and I come out feeling a lot more confident in myself but also in the skills I have developed with Wayne. He remains calm at all times which is extremely helpfull and helps you feel more open to asking questions. He gives constructive, accurate feedback when needed and adapts the lesson to what you need to build upon, so that you can have the skills you need to pass your test and become a more than just a competent driver but a calm and observational driver making your driving more comfortable for everyone in the car. He has helped me immensely couldn’t ask for anything more.

I took 11 lessons with Wayne and I would like to say that he is a brilliant instructor. He is never late for lessons, always polite, calm, energetic, has a great vibe and is super easy going. Wayne is a very experienced driver. He possesses amazing communication skills. You won’t feel like a complete fool on your first lesson. You will be taught in a calm and chill manner. Wayne has a great sense of humour and lessons with him are always fun. He will teach you everything that you need to know for the driving test and how the examiner will try to fail you. I even did not have to google this.He keeps his vehicle in a great condition. Clutch, gearbox, steering, everything is turned to perfection. His car is always clean.With Wayne you will arrive at your driving test prepared and confident that you will pass it.Wayne is a legend!
