Fantastic experience: Emil is fantastic, he is so understandable, patient, easy going and he'll explain everything to you and let you know if you are doing something wrong or right and will remind you throughout the lesson. I am now recommending Emil at Hold Fast Driving School to ALL of my family and friends, if I can give him 10 stars I would but it's definitely 5 stars. If your looking for a driving school for your teen child/ren or yourself don't hesitate to contact Emil.

Fantastic experience: Emil is an extremely competent instructor, with decades of experience under his belt. He is extremely adept at making you feel at ease with his banter, or keeping you alert when necessary, His thorough approach to instruction ensures you do not pick up bad driving habits and drop any you've picked up along the way. Professionalism, 100%

Fantastic experience: As a young, nervous learner driver, Emil built my confidence in driving. He was honest, kind and a great teacher. He always talked through the mistakes I would make and explain safer and easier ways of fixing the mistakes. He adjusted his teaching based off my personality and was always patient and never missed an opportunity to make me a safer driver. Honestly the best instructor I could have ever asked for. Thank you Emil :)

Fantastic experience: My son had previously failed to get his licence in Brisbane, so when we were planning a trip to Kingaroy, we decided to take the test in a smaller town, as he was quite anxious about it. It was a bit of a risk, but thank goodness we booked lessons prior to his test with Emil at Hold fast driving school. Emil was amazing with all of our questions and in getting my son into the right headspace beforehand. He passed!

Kimmy Smith 2 years ago

Rowan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Emil's expertise and competence in teaching driving skills were evident throughout our lessons. He had a thorough understanding of the rules of the road and ensured that I fully grasped each concept before moving on to the next. Even when I made mistakes, Emil remained composed and corrected me in a constructive and encouraging manner. His ability to maintain a calm atmosphere greatly boosted my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to Emil's excellent instructions, I was able to pass my driving test on the first attempt without any trouble. Emil's attention to detail and emphasis on safe driving practices instilled in me a sense of responsibility and awareness that will stay with me as a lifelong driver. I highly recommend Emil to anyone in search of a highly competent and patient driving instructor. His ability to effectively teach and his calmness and confidence make him an ideal choice for learners of all levels. Whether you are a novice driver or seeking to upgrade your license, Emil will undoubtedly provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel on the road.

Sebastian Lopez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Emil to anyone looking for a cool, calm instructor who is comfortable to drive with. Emil let's you learn at you're own pace which never usually takes long since he is such a great driving instructor. He shows/tells you if you've made a mistake and will show/tell you how to overcome that mistake. He makes the lessons fun to calm your nerves but still very safe. Thank you for teaching me Emil

Kiralee McFetrish 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Being a student living in Brisbane, it is a very difficult process trying to find lessons that are available to you within a week, let alone practical tests. So what do I do? I drive 2.5 hours away from Brisbane to do driving lessons with Emil. I have had multiple instructors before and Emil was easily the best of them all. I have learned so many things for a cheaper price compared to instructors in Brisbane that have failed to do so. And as of today (after probably 6 lessons with him), I got my Ps :) God bless the man!!

Kate van Mastrigt 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very pleased I chose to use Emil! As someone with anxiety I found he was incredibly patient, friendly and accommodating. He filled in a lot of blanks for me, and helped with correcting a few bad habits I'd picked up being taught by family. He has a strong emphasis on safety, so not only passing the test but creating and maintaining good/safe driving practices for the long term. After a few lessons I passed first go. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've had my learners for 3 years now and I finally decided to get my P's, Emil helped me gain the confidence to pass my driving test first go, we had a total of only 3 hours together, before I worked with Emil there was so many things I could not do in a car and by the end of our lessons I was able pass and move on with my life and not have to rely on others to get around, I thank you Emil so much for helping me achieve this milestone, I will definitely be telling everyone who needs lessons go through Emil!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried other driving schools and ended up failing the driving test 4 times before I contacted Emil. I had given up on driving a manual car as well, but I asked for a lesson on how to use the clutch for one last try. It didn’t take long at all to get the hang of it! I learned so much thanks to Emil, and finally passed the test.

Fantastic experience: Emil made a miracle with me ! I was a very bad driver with no confidence at all and he not only teach me but also support me to be more relaxed and confident!! If you are thinking in taking driving lessons, Emil is the best in Kingaroy!!

Kimberley Copas 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first got my learners my brother died in a horrific head on crash. It gave me alot of anxiety and I was terrified to get behind the wheel of a car. I would freak out as a passenger if cars seemed to0 close to the vehicle I was in. The driver instructer knew none of this about me. But was able to interpret my anxiety and talk to me and get me calm behind the wheel. I have gained lots of confidence. He gently corrects my misshaps and encourages and praises when doing something correct. He has great knowledge and I feel very safe listening to his instructions. Definitely recommend to use him. Excellent price for the lessons.

Fantastic experience: My daughter gained so much confidence while having lessons with Emil, she had a lesson with another school and she really didn't like it but from the first lesson she felt comfortable. He always went above and beyond. He was very accomodating with the days and times she was available for lessons. I will be booking my son in to have lessons with him when he gets his learner's. Thank you so much Paige is a confident and competent driver and passed first go. I can't reccomend Emil highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school! Exemplary driving instructor! Just passed my practical driving test with a perfect score. Emil did a great job in preparing me for the test and to being a safer driver. His knowledge of road rules is, no doubt, precise and cut above the rest. His teaching methodology is effective and tailored to your needs. His focus on learning, even from your mistakes, is contagious that you would come to every driving class with the same mindset and resolve to develop into a better driver, the best that you can become. Anyone who subjects himself to his tutelage will, indeed and truly, become a better, safer driver. I highly recommend him and his driving school. Pick him as your FIRST CHOICE!

Janet Heiner 5 years ago

Negative experience: This so called driving instructor allowed a student to have right of way when he was at the stop sign at the Knight Street/Walter Road intersection. When I pointed at the stop sign they had just gone through, he arrogantly waved and gave me a thumbs up. This school should lose its licence.

Hold fast driving school
Hold fast driving school

Hi Janet Heiner thank you for your concern at knight Street intersection when stopped at the stop sign you must stop and give way to oncoming traffic and traffic to the right when parked at the give way sing on walter road you must give way to your left which is the continuous flow and then you must give way to the stop sign which is to your right when on summerset street you must give way to your right witch is the continuous flow and if you would like I can give you a free driver refresher just give me a call to book
