- Sarah Yeo2/14/2024I'm truly touched by the exceptional experience we had with Chris as my daughter's driving instructor. Chris's professionalism, thoughtfulness, and genuine concern for his students are truly commendable. After a disappointing encounter with a previous instructor, Chris not only dedicated considerable time to our initial call but also went above and beyond in his teaching. His passion for his job is evident, creating a positive and enjoyable learning environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone seeking an outstanding driving instructor.read moreread lessTony Hookings2/04/2024I met Chris Barker from Driving Skills Academy originally when I was feeling very unhappy in my current career. After 28 years in Recruitment, I needed to make a change and whilst I had thought about becoming a Driving Instructor, I had no idea what to expect. Chris was very open and honest about what it takes to succeed.
After a really good meeting discussing in depth what I would have to do, I decided that this was the right choice for me and that the only way to succeed was to do it with Chris (I had spoken to other schools and was so impressed in how Driving Skills Academy trained and supported you)
I then started training and it was everything I needed, supportive, matched to my learning style and very collaborative.
I am now a fully qualified ADI and I couldn’t have done it without Chris(I wouldn’t have wanted to ) I am also a part of the Driving Skills Academy franchise and still get the support and direction I need as a newly qualified ADI but also get the autonomy and satisfaction of working for myself and being my own boss.
If you want a change in career, for me this is the most rewarding you will find, it’s easily the hardest thing I have had to do, but I wouldn’t change a single thing!!!!read moreread lessHarvey Barker1/30/2024I have throughly enjoyed my lessons with Chris.

That’s until my partner told me I should really get back into it as I really wanted to be able to drive, and that’s when he found Chris at Driving Skills Academy. Right from the get go Chris was incredibly keen to help after hearing my story and was able to fit me in straight away. I felt at ease immediately with Chris, and over the course of 17 hours my confidence grew immensely. He taught me how to drive rather than how to pass a test, allowed me to find my own safe style of driving rather than following a strict routine and stamped out any fears of the driving test I had. I was then able to pass my test on my first attempt with Chris and feel at ease doing so. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough and I can not express how happy and confident I feel with my driving now and I will forever be thankful to Chris for finally helping me get that driving freedom I had been so desperate for. I am also very thankful to Fernando!

I went from having an instructor who was not very nice and quite rude to Chris who is very understanding, patient and supportive of both my theory questions or practical. I suffer from anxiety so having someone who is nothing but kind and patient while learning how to drive (which is scary as it is) is very helpful and important to anyone regardless. I would recommend Chris barker 100%. It is thanks to Chris that I passed with zero faults and I couldn’t be more happy!read moreread less
- Charlotte Jamme11/14/2022I can't recommend Chris more highly, he has so much experienced and patience. My daughter took one of the "mock tests" with Chris as she is taking her test in Northampton and we are not from the area. This has to be one of the BEST things we have done, Chris took the time to point out all the faults (and there were many) and give her the confidence & knowledge on how to rectify them. We wished we lived in Northampton and had learnt with Chris from the start.read moreread lessNahid Rahman11/10/2022The mock test was a great way of helping me get a real taste of how the real driving test would be and Chris was professional throughout.

I was also given a full report which is very beneficial as it gives me all the solutions to resolve my issues before my testread moreread lessNate wesson10/27/2022Awesome instructor, really calm and teaches you to drive not just pass your test.

I am so greatful to have had such an amazing and funny instructor and I highly recommend Chris if you are looking to start driving lessons!read moreread lesscherie dean9/16/2022Chris Barker was honestly the best instructor throughout his time teaching me. I opted for an intensive course, and Chris ensured that in 40 hours I was test ready. In two weeks, Chris took me from a nervous driver who didn’t think she could manage a manual license, to a confident and calm driver passing first time with only 3 minors. I would highly highly recommend. Not only was Chris a calm, patient and insightful driving instructor, he was also someone I looked forward to seeing at every lesson. I will truly miss our lessons.read moreread less

My daughter had never got behind a wheel before her first lesson and Chris made this a positive first time experience for her. From that first lesson she grew in confidence each time and always came back with a smile and pleased with what had been achieved on that particular lesson. Chris was patient, taught things in a very understanding way and my daughter genuinely built up a great student/instructor relationship that ended with her passing first time after just over 6 months of lessons.The 1.5 hour lessons were perfect length and every lesson was so useful. He helped her confidence grow no end and I’d recommend Chris to anyone (already given details to two friends).Thank you so much!read moreread less

He is one of the best in Northampton and really cares about his job and learners. He helped me with everything while being very calm about any mistake or situation. Throughout the lessons he made sure I was relaxed and helped me be more confident by explaining everything I did and how I could improve.
Chris trusted my skill and did as many hours as necessary without charging any extra lessons. I was able to pass my test in the first attempt because of him.
His brand new car was also very helpful. I felt comfortable every moment I spent in the car. He keeps it clean and in very good condition inside as well as outside. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience and would recommend to anyone who is trying to learn how to drive!read moreread lessOliver Austin6/17/2021I had just over 15 hours of private lessons with Chris and passed first time with 0 faults. He was very patient throughout all my lessons and taught me all the fundamentals on how to pass my test within the short amount of time I had with him. He encouraged me to drive my own car with my parents to keep lesson costs down. Chris also got my test date moved 3 months forwards meaning I could pass within a shorter period of time. I would like to say that Chris is an excellent driving instructor and made my lessons very enjoyable. I would recommend him as he is highly experienced and very professional.read moreread less - Ollie Austin6/14/2021Excellent driving instructor. Very professional and highly experienced.
