Howards Professional Driving School

John taught my daughter to drive. Passed Manual licence first time. Very professional, patient and friendly. Highly recommended.

Very professional and reliable driving school. Both daughters passed first go with Howard's knowledgeable and calming expertise. Would not hesitate to recommend them to first time learner drivers. Well done and keep up the fantastic work.

Gary is an amazing driver instructor. I moved here from another driving school coz I been failing with their care are so many times and wasting so much money. Gary taught me how to focus and after 2 lessons with him I passed my Driving Practical Exams. Conquered all my Anxiety and Fears finally. Thank you so much Howards Driving School

It was the best investment in my life. I start to drive after 40. The professional approach I get was absolutely great. They not only teach me how to drive to pass my test they raise my confidence. They teach me safe driving habits and not to panic. Thank you John (best instructor ever with big sense of humour) and Maria for my freedom! Always on time and avofordable price.

I had a very good experience with Howard driving school. If you have a problem with something then you let them know and they will get onto fixing it as soon as possible. Thankyou again for helping .

Learning how to drive is a nervous experience as it is but the instructors from Howards Professional Driving Schools do a fantastic job in keeping you calm and relaxed throughout the entire process. You learn so much from them in such a short amount of time.

Thank you to the team at Howards for looking after my daughters as they take the step to learning how to drive. I have found this company to be professional and very patient with my girls. They love their driving and it comes down to being shown properly by nice, caring and educated instructors. Thanks again. I highly recommend this company.

Just wanted to say another big thank you to Howards Professiona Driving school for helping build by confidence and getting me on the road sooner!. You were so patient with me, professional, handed out some very helpful tips and advice and i will highly recommend to all friends, family or public.

I used Howards when i was younger getting my license and had a few lessons with them, found them very helpful, and many handy tricks to which i still use today :)

I have lived in cairns for 4 years and prior to that I lived in the UK. I wanted to drive ever since I was young however, had an extremely bad experience with a driving instructor back in the UK that caused me to become so scared of driving, it took me almost 10 years to get back in the driving seat. After falling pregnant earlier this year, I was determined to pass so took my time choosing what I felt had to be the best driving company for my needs. After much time and many hours on the phone spent going through almost every driving school in Cairns I finally picked one that I thought sounded the best 'Howard's'. I explained my previous experiences with driving and I was soon introduced to my driving instructor (Paul). Paul was so patient with me but had that nice balance to push me to what he thought I was capable of. Paul's encouragement through out my lessons not only put me at ease but gave me the confidence behind the wheel that I had lacked so many years ago. I was extremely nervous and anxious but Paul's personality and professionalism really put me at ease. A few months after driving with Paul, I have now passed my test ( before my baby being born ) and I feel like I have been given so much freedom - no more money spent on taxi's or the inconvenience of public transport . I wanted to share my story as I feel there will be other people that have gone thorough my experience and searching for an outstanding driving school. I also wanted to be able to say how thankful and grateful I am to Paul for all his time and help. THANKS HOWARDS !!!!

I met with Paul, no previous driving experience, sweaty palms, high anxiety and mature aged. I had no real intentions of actually driving on my first lesson because I was so scared. But within 10 mins he had me driving. He has been fantastic! No pressure just solid encouragement. Now learning to drive is an exciting experience, one which I look forward to every lesson. Never thought id see the day! Thanks for your on going support!

My name is Mari Anderson and I have just completed my second driving lesson with your instructor Mark. I would like to voice my concerns as to Marks manner of instruction which I find to be very negative. I feel as a young learner driver I need to someone to help boost my confidence, not be a negative influence. I also feel that I am not being given a chance to learn basic pedal skills as Mark is continually using his pedals even when I am just taking off and he uses his accelerator most of the time, even going as far as to tell me to take my foot of the pedal and just steer. How am I meant to learn to drive this way? In my opinion it is also unnecessary to put his hand over mine when changing gears, especially when he was telling me that I was in the wrong gear (I wasn't). I asked if we could go out on a more open road and Mark agreed, but after making a couple of errors he laughed and said something along the lines of "and you wanted to go out on the open road". This, to me, is highly unprofessional and derogatory. I have found the whole experience to totally unsatisfying and has me left feeling very unconfident with driving and not wanting to continue. As a result I will not be returning to your driving school and would not be able to recommend it to any of my friends. Regards Mari Anderson
