Steve helped me pass really quick, he made it very easy to learn and simplified everything to make it as easy as possible, he also made me enjoy my time learning due to him being funny and always up for a laugh which made the lessons fly by. I’d definitely recommend Steve and have already recommended him to all my friends 👍

Steve helped me pass my driving test first time and this was because helped a lot with my mistakes and helped me understand why I was making them and but also how to improve which helped massively.
Freddie - Passed October 2025

I came to Steafter my previous instructor didn’t give me the time of day, i was learning with ste for a couple months and passed first time, we had a very good banter, i struggled with my theory for a while until ste cane along and helped out for half an hour each lesson, definitely recommend learning with Ste
Kenzie - Passed July 2025

Switching driving instructors to Hollie was the right match for me. She is supportive, genuinely cares about doing a good job, flexible with times and fitted in some extra lessons close to my test so l was prepared. Hollie was happy to help, offered different lesson lengths to see what works best, broke lessons into chunks and playing music on the radio to help with my focus. I began lessons with Hollie mid July, learning some manoeuvres from scratch and passed by September first time. I highly recommend 😊
Emma

Steve has been the absolute best driving instructor I could have ever had, he managed to get through the nerves, to constant apologies and tears without making me feel like I couldn’t drive, mistakes were made but he helped me cope with them and now I can enjoy the new found freedom of driving. The endless banter made the experience extremely relaxed once I found my flow in the car to the point that I could confidently drive with someone else in the car as well. I also must add Hollie into this, having her for even one lesson but she made me realise that I could drive without the comfort of having Steve beside me and that gave me even more confidence for my test.
The highest recommendation to Get Passed Driving School, I cannot thank you enough!!
Leona - Passed June 2025

Mr Bentham was amazing and patient with my daughter. Great communication and very supportive. Highly recommended!
Heather Clipston - daughter Charlotte - Passed May 2025

Our daughter Kaitlyn started her driving lessons with Hollie back in November, and she's been absolutely amazing with her the couple of weeks leading up to her test nerves started to kick in but Hollie helped her through and she manged to pass her test First Time!! would highly recommend 😊
Clare Nelson - daughter Kaitlyn - Passed May 2025

Steve was an amazing instructor for me. I was shaky at the beginning of my lessons but over the coming weeks I lost the nervousness I once had and managed to pass first time. He was always calm with me and lessons were never awkward which was a big factor for me. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a quality instructor! 🩵
Anand - Passed April 2025

Steve has been amazing with our son Evan- we cannot recommend him enough!! Evan has enjoyed his time learning with Steve and now the stress begins as he flies solo 🤣
Thanks Steve!!
Scott Bradley - son Evan - Passed April 2025

Steve is an amazing driving instructor. He has been beyond fantastic with our son who has some difficulties in understanding instructions. He has really enjoyed ALL his lessons with Steve and come back with a HUGE smile every time. Steve made his lessons fun. I would recommend “Get Passed Driving School” 100%👍🏼
Sarah Bradley - son Evan - Passed April 2025

I started driving with Hollie around a year ago, and she has been a lovely instructor by letting me learn at my own pace, go through the same manoeuvres a million times to make sure I've got them, and by being patient and understanding. I didn't start off with much confidence behind the wheel, but I have much more now which I can attribute to her, and for getting to know the roads around the Preston area.
After failing my first two tests, I was encouraged to keep trying and to learn from my mistakes - which I did today after passing my third test! (Shout-out to Stephen for that one)
Thank you to Hollie for getting me to where I am today with my driving, confidence, and resilience against hurdles and setbacks. She doesn't feel like just an instructor, she feels like a friend you can count on and have weekly chats with on the road, and that's a lovely thing to find in an instructor. So, thank you so much for all you've done and for putting up with me for so long, I highly recommend
Skye

Started with Steve after not having a great experience with a previous instructor, from the second i got in the car i felt comfortable and was able to better myself. 100% recommend to anyone looking for an amazing instructor that cares about his students… thankyou again🚗💙
Caitlin H - Passed MArch 2025

I came to Steve through a friend recommendation, and honestly was one of the best decisions I ever made. No matter how much I screwed up, he always walked me through what I was doing wrong and always helped me correct my errors. He has the patience of a saint. He got me to a level where I was no longer doubting my ability to drive and helped me make decision without double guessing myself, and for that I’ll be ever thankful for his guidance and patience.
Shea - Passed September 2024

Stephen was a great driving instructor. He eased my anxiety from the minute I got in his car . He tailors how he teaches so that you don’t feel panicked or rushed . Very friendly man i will be recommending him to all friends and family thank you for everything !

I very highly recommend Stephen Bentham as a driving instructor. He has taught my daughter and has been absolutely amazing, very patient and knows exactly what he’s talking about. Mia has had the best driving experience with him. Thankyou so much👌👌🙌🏻
Lisa A - daughter Mia - Passed March 2025

Hollie has been exactly what my daughter has needed in an instructor. After failing her test the first time after a year of lessons with another instructor, who made her feel anxious, she started with Hollie who made her feel relaxed and calm from the off. After a handful of lessons with Hollie she passed with 2 minors. I highly recommend Hollie as a driving instructor and we can't thank her enough x
Kirsty Parker

Hollie is the best, I was terrified to drive at first but she was very calm and understanding. She gave me inspiration and confidence in my driving and believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself and helped me pass my test. She always sees the best in her students and gives constructive criticism when needed. She is always very positive I highly recommend her ❤️❤️

Extra points to her for putting up with my craziness and stupidity 😂
Lili - Passed February 2025

I passed my test within 5 months, all from the help of Steve! He is consistent,helpful and extremely patient.
Would recommend him to anyone as he’s the best of the best!!
Belle

I would recommend Steve to absolutely anybody, after driving on and off with him for at least a year and a half - he only pushed me when it was necessary and made sure I put the work in to get where I wanted. Nothing is ever too big or too small, and he is always willing to help out no matter the problem.

Flexible schedules if working/have other situations full time, cheap compared to most driving instructors, and also comes with a great laugh.
Alix L - Passed January 2025

started driving with steve a few months ago and has been an amazing teacher, explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand ,and had me passed first time with only 1 driver fault. thankyou for being patient and such an amazing teacher

Lauren P - PASSED OCTOBER 2024

I would highly recommend Get Passed Driving School. I learned to drive with Steve and passed my test in September.
He was a really calming influence as I was really nervous at first but soon started to relax and enjoy my driving. Driving seemed quite complicated at first but he simplified everything to the point where the driving itself became easy and I could focus my attention on the road and the ever changing situations around me.
I looked forward to each of my lessons each week.
I would definitely recommend Get Passed Driving School, if Steve can get me to drive, he can get anyone to drive 😭😭

Amelia - September 2024

Came to Steve after being with another instructor for around a year and was passed within a few months on the second attempt. brilliant teacher with oodles of advice and insight, and importantly a brilliant guy to be around.

Cal - Passed November 2024

Chloe G - passed December 2024

Dan P - Passed October 2024

I passed my test in June 2024. I was very nervous to begin with however steve put me at ease straight away and I gained my confidence after a few lessons. He was very patient with me and we had many laughs together. Coming up to my test I wanted extra lesson which steve accommodated which i was very grateful for. Even though I didn’t believe in myself, steve did and he continually praised me and helped me all the way up to the day of my test by calming my nerves down. I passed June 17th with 0 faults. I would 1 million percent recommend steve he’s the best driving instructor around.

Lottie - June 2024

My daughter was apprehensive about learning in a manual car but we knew that’s what she needed to do. Knowing Steve from his previous role we knew he was the right person. He’s a fantastic teacher, puts the person at ease with his cheerful manner and gets great results.
She passed first time, no faults after only 26 hours (some of which she requested to boost her confidence-not that he said they were needed).
100% recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emma (Lottie's Mum) - June 2024

I recommend Steve to anyone whose looking for a driving instructor he was amazing and so patient with me no matter how many times i made the same mistakes🙈. I passed on december 13th 2023 after only a couple months of lessons which i never thought id be able to do. Highly highly recommend.
Thank you Steve!!xx

Lucy B - Passed July 2024

I recently passed with Steve, one of the instructors for Get Passed. I'd highly recommend him as an instructor. No matter how confused you are on anything driving related he seems to be able to find a new way to help explain it to you. There's no such thing as a bad question and you're always supported to be a better driver which helps massively when preparing for a driving test. Anyone looking for an instructor in the Chorley and Preston area should definitely consider learning with Get Passed.

Eddie - Passed 1st time Aug 2024

I passed my driving test mid april this year. I had Hollie as my driving instructor and couldn’t recommend her more! She was very calm and patient, which made my experience so much better. I also did a few mock tests/ lessons with Stephen who i also enjoyed learning with. 10/10 recommend xx

Charlie - Passed April 2024

I passed August 21st 2024 with 0 minors with Steve.

Couldn't fault him, calm, patient, informative, and a good laugh. Really helped build my confidence on the road, and sail through my test with no doubts. Could not recommend more

Oli - Passed 1st time Aug 2024 - zero faults

i passed my driving test on the 28th of february 2024. it was my first time and i got 0 drivers faults. i truly believe that it was down to stephen bentham. i could not have asked for a better driving instructor. thought the 4 months i was learning i had my ups and downs but stephen always managed to turn them positive. i could not recommend Get Passed driving anymore. they are an amazing pair of people and they are here to help when you feel like your struggling.

Emilia C - Passed 1st time Feb 2024 - zero faults

Raigan E - Passed March 2024

Steve is the best driving instructor. After many years of trying and failing with other driving instructors, Steve gave me the confidence and time to develop my driving. Steve is a very committed, skilful and patient teacher who always try’s his best to make you feel comfortable. 1000% recommend

Mel A - Passed April 2024 !!!

Steve was always very encouraging and down to earth which made learning a lot easier. He always made sure you knew what you needed to do to pass so the test day was less daunting. Highly recommend.

Madi - Passed July 2023

Such a great instructor that brings out the skills to pass my test in a shortest possible time, which was difficult for me with other instructors.

ND - Passed June 2023

I learnt with Steve and he was a great driving instructor. His prior experiences being a teacher has given him a lot of different ways to teach certain things to his students such as his way of telling me how to check blind spots was by repeatedly telling me it until he just began to watch every time instead of telling me so I knew how to do by myself and helped me grow confidence as a new driver.

Alex- Passed April 2024

A great driving instructor, who will go above and beyond to make sure you pass, gives you that reassurance and encouragement, something to look forward to every time you learn, gives you more knowledge and understanding about the roads and couldn’t ask for a better instructor.

Liam - Passed 1st Time January 2023

Steve’s many years of teaching became evident when he became my driving instructor. His teaching was clear, helpful, and straight to the point. He helped me to look at my achievements in a positive way, rather than putting me down if I made a mistake. He allowed me to learn at my own pace, meaning I wasn’t forced to repeatedly do one thing unnecessarily or do anything that I wasn’t comfortable with at that point. He is able to transform his methods of teaching to the person he is teaching, and this was crucial in helping me to pass my test. I would highly recommend Steve if you want to learn how to drive.

Lewis - Passed in November 2023

Steve helped overcome a sense of fear with driving and even when I was worried or didn’t know what I was doing, Steve fully explained everything and helped me through the fear of driving. Throughout my lesson and then my driving test Steve encouraged me through everything, this helped a lot with my confidence to drive and once I passed my test I was a fully confident and capable driver and this is all thanks to Steve.

Katie Derbyshire. - Passed April 2023.

I recently took some refresher driving lessons with Steve, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His teaching background gives him a knack for breaking things down simply, making everything easy to grasp. He keeps the lessons lighthearted and is always cracking jokes, which really helps with staying relaxed. Steve is a great instructor to have. 100% recommend!

Andrew F - Refresher course after 10 years off the road

Before I started to learn with Steve I had already sat a driving test with another instructor and unfortunately failed. This knocked all my confidence and I never thought I’d get behind the wheel again, until one of my friends reminded my that our maths teacher from high school was now a driving instructor.

I reached out to Steve and he took me on with no questions asked and promised me that he’d bring my confidence back and I’d pass my test in no time. Lessons with Steve were absolutely amazing and I learnt to not only become a more confident driver but I came away with so much more knowledge and I miss my weekly lessons and our chats. I was only with Steve for two months before I past my test with zero faults.

I have recommended Steve to loads of my friends and they all love learning with him too and I will always recommend Get Passed Driving school to anyone that asks.

Faye

I passed with Steve first time, in December 2023, following five months of lessons. He was very knowledgeable both of driving theory and the roads around Preston. He was calm during lessons, gave constructive criticism and explained road markings and signage throughout. I would recommend Steve to any young person wishing to learn to drive.

Caitlin B

When booking my first driving session I was initially nervous about how my instructor would handle the lessons, however my first time driving with Steve completely reassured me, he was patience and his teaching was effective. He eased my worries while keeping me on my toes and ready to learn. Whenever overthinking, Steve offered an optimistic approach in assuring I was doing just fine and never made me feel like any of my questions were stupid ones. Not only this, I had high goals and expectations on how soon I wanted to pass and Steve never doubted my ability and i ended up passing my test in just under 3 months of learning with him. Steve was the best instructor I could’ve asked for and I am certain he is the best instructor anyone could have- giving people the ability to drive confidently and independently while also offering a comfortable environment to thrive in.

Cerys

I was always a very nervous driver but Steve always managed to calm me down, make me feel better and boost my confidence. When it was coming up to a test date he would put in so much effort to make sure I got in as much practice time as possible. I shed lots of tears along the way but Steve always managed to make sure I leave with a smile. I passed my test on November 20th 2023 after just 6 months of learning and it wouldn’t have been possible without Steve. I am so so grateful every day and would 100% recommend !!!

Charlotte - Passed November 2023

I passed my test just over a year ago. I was terrified the first time I got into a car. I’d always been terrified of driving. But Stephen helped get me through my fears, and pushed me to book my test before I thought I was ready. I passed first time. He pushed me to and believed in me every step (maybe not at the roundabouts though 😂) I couldn’t recommend him enough! Easily the best teacher! Thank you Stephen for all your support!

Carly - Passed September 2023

I past my test 18th of April 2023 and it definitely wouldn’t have been possible without Steve, after I started my lessons I was in a really bad car accident and never thought I would be able to get in a car again never mind be driving one! But thanks to Steve he made me feel comfortable and confident to get back behind the wheel and with determination and patience’s I was able to pass my test with flying colours and it just goes to show how amazing of a teacher he is!!! Definitely recommend 10000000% 🚘

sienna - Passed April 2023

Before I started with Stephen I had another instructor, 2 months of lessons, each time I came home learning very little and crying from stress, after my first few lessons with Stephen I had progressed fast, gained a large amount of confidence and I came home wishing I could have stayed on my lessons longer! He was very encouraging, helped me learn from my mistakes! He is a great teacher and I wouldn’t recommend any other driving instructing team, I had lessons with both Stephen and Hollie and both were patient and supportive!

Beth

Highly recommended! Steve was my instructor, and from starting lessons, I passed my driving test in less than two months. He was professional but really friendly throughout, which made the overall experience much more enjoyable with no stress and I looked forward to every lesson. I was very nervous to start as I'd never been in the driver's seat of a car before, but Steve put me at ease straight away and had every confidence in me. I compared the driving lesson experience with my friends and the amount of progress I made each lesson far surpassed anybody else and even they were surprised at how efficient the lessons were. His teaching was so great that I started to drive confidently and then went on to taking the Pass Plus course with him. Steve was a great instructor from my experience and I would 100% recommend Get Passed.

Nishan

I would 100% recommend Get Passed. Steve is a brilliant experienced instructor who got me to pass quickly and first time!
He made the time to take me on when he found I was struggling to find a driving school. I was initially quite nervous to be behind the wheel but Steve put me at ease, made me laugh and forget that I was ever worried.
Get Passed are accommodating, kind, and great fun to learn with. Wouldn’t have changed my instructor for the world. ❤️

-Alicia, passed July 2023

Highly recommend Steve, I was a very anxious learner but he managed to keep me calm and collected even in times when I doubted myself and I felt like I needed to panic. He helped build my confidence before passing my test in October 2023, helping me gain some independence! An amazing teacher who helped me to understand and visualise learning in a way that suited me best. Thanks again Steve!

Beth

Steve was an amazing driving instructor. I was a very anxious driver at first but Steve was great at helping me control my nerves. He was also very flexible with accommodating lessons around my university schedule. I also had a few lessons with Holly who is lovely and very supportive as well.

I have now been driving nearly a year, I drive nearly 100 miles a day and think Im a very safe and confident driver.

Thank you for all your help Steve!

Would really recommend Steve as he is an enthusiastic and passionate instructor. His lessons are fun and engaging with no pressure.

Hollie is accommodating, reliable and a great driving instructor. She picked up the pieces after my son was let down by a different instructor. Could not recommend Hollie enough.

Lisa

We cannot recommend Hollie enough. My daughter passed her test 1st time within months. This was down to the patience and experience of Hollie. Hollie always turned up on time and was keen to get my daughter through her test as soon as possible which she did!!! We are very grateful to Hollie as my daughter is now a competent driver due to Hollie‘s excellent teaching. Thanks again Hollie x

Highly recommend Steve, he helped me so much when it came to overcoming my worries and stresses, and was always supportive and helped me through every step of the process, from not even knowing how to start a car to passing my driving test. He also always made sure his lessons were all fun and full of laughs which made each lesson unique. Forever grateful.

Maisy D

Highly recommend Benny! First met when he tutored me through my Maths GCSE helping me go from foundation to a higher level grade. Next helped me pass my driving test, first time with 0 faults!

Recommended him to my mates, who then went on to passing their driving tests first time! Couldn’t recommend him enough.
