Fantastic experience: Olivia was my daughters driving instructor every month for 12months. My daughter felt very comfortable every lesson and learnt the whole scope of learning how to drive with Olivia. My daughters confidence improved immensely with Olivia as her instructor.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Olivia from NRMA driving school. We were introduced to Olivia after attending the Safer Driving Course run by Olivia from NRMA. Olivia helped my daughter and myself with not only the driving lessons but all the other incidentals required when attempting to obtain a Provisional licence. We would not have been able to do it without the help and guidance from Olivia. Olivia was always punctual for driving lessons and my daughter learnt so much from her driving lessons with Olivia. Thank you Olivia. I highly recommend your service.

Fantastic experience: I did my driving test today and here I am with the P1 licence on my first attempt. Thanks to Olivia's instructions, I learnt step by step to drive safely and confidently. I don't hesitate to recommend Olivia to anyone who looks around for a driving instructor around the Wollongong area. Olivia is a kind, patient, supportive, and very experienced driving instructor. I had a wonderful experience with NRMA Driver Training Wollongong & Illawarra. Thank you very much for your extraordinary support, Olivia.
Thanks Dilpika, we're so glad the lessons were helpful. Big congratulations for passing your test! - Maddie
Fantastic experience: Instructor was very friendly, and the course was informative. I feel more confident that I can drive safely now.
Fantastic experience: My experience was above and beyond what I had initially expected. My driving instructor Olivia was not only an excellent teacher that heavily influenced my progression and comfort within a vehicle but became a great friend of mine. If you are looking for a place to find a driving instructor I highly highly recommend NRMA as I don’t think I could have had a better experience learning how to drive. Love you Olivia.
Positive experience: A disappointing experience with my son. Excellent first lesson, excellent lesson with one of the instructors. The other instructor, my son found to be critical on his second lesson and by the third lesson had an experience he didn't enjoy (recounted the lesson in tears), so we've changed schools. If you child has confidence issues, you might want to monitor how they are feeling after a lesson. Pre-paid lessons refunded without issue by NRMA.
Hi Stephen, thank you for leaving a review. I am sorry to hear that your son's experience was not entirely positive. We want everyone who comes to us for lessons to feel safe and encouraged, and it's disappointing to know we have let you and your son down here. It sounds like you have already spoken with our team regarding this, but if you would like to chat further please give us a call on 1300 561 044. Once again, we are sorry and hope we can work to repair the situation. - Maddie
Fantastic experience: I had absolutely incredible experience with Kevin. I doubt that I’d be getting back behind the wheel after almost 10 years of not driving if it wasn’t for his help. He’s incredibly patient, observant, understanding, pleasant and just the right amount of nice. I am so grateful for all his help.
Fantastic experience: Olivia was truly a wonderful teacher and helped me become a safe, confident and assertive driver. She’s kind, patient, caring, supportive and extremely knowledgeable about road rules and fully equipped me for driving safely for the test, but more importantly for life. I passed the driving test on my first go (and am thankful that I did a couple practice tests with Olivia before to prepare!). Can’t thank you enough, Olivia for your kindness and for cheering me on and helping me become a conscientious, good driver. Highly recommend lessons with Olivia (or Kevin who also seems great) to anyone who is learning to drive or wanting to brush up their skill set!
Fantastic experience: I have been extremely nervous about everything to do with driving for quite some time so it was surprisingly helpful having someone like Kevin to push me only as much as I needed. He was strict but kept me focused and after all the work put in to teaching me and making me comfortable I pass on my first try. Would recommend him and the NRMA to anyone at any age under any circumstance. Never could have done it without him.
Hi David, thanks for your review. We're so glad the lessons were helpful. We hope you feel more confident on the road as a result. - Maddie
Fantastic experience: This was a really great learning experience, with both the theory and practical elements providing valuable tips on driving safety. Highly recommend it for learner drivers.

Fantastic experience: Module 1: a wee bit boring at times but mostly it was really helpful and I do 100% recommend Module 2: Kevin really taught me how to be a more confident, comfortable and cautious driver.

Fantastic experience: Kevin Crowie was my driver through NRMA driving school and he was really great! Always on time and good communication. He helped me learn how to park which was something I was a bit nervous about. He knew all the places to practice driving for the upcoming test. Overall Kevin was super fun and patient so I’d recommend him to other learner drivers. P.S I believe his favourite chocolate is Kit Kats haha.
Thanks for leaving a review Charlie. We're so glad the lessons were helpful. We hope they will help you go into your test with confidence. Good luck! - Maddie
Positive experience: My personal experience with NRMA Driver Training was very positive. While I had gone for a few drives with my parents within the local area where I live, but it was thanks to my driving instructor Kevin that I was able to improve my driving skills and eventually pass my P'S test. I'm thankful for the experience this has given me.
