Our comment from DrivingSchools.Directory about Pace Driving School:

Pace Driving School is highly regarded for its remarkable instructors, particularly Mark and Rose, who have earned praise for their calm, patient, and thorough teaching methods. Many students have achieved positive results, with several passing their driving tests on their first attempts. Here are some key attributes that highlight the strengths of Pace Driving School:

  • Excellent instructors: Students frequently commend Mark and Rose for their effective teaching styles, attention to detail, and supportive guidance.
  • Focus on student success: The school emphasizes not just passing the driving test but also equips students with essential driving skills for life.
  • Positive learning environment: Many learners report feeling comfortable and confident under the instruction of their teachers, which significantly helps alleviate anxiety.

However, there have been some criticisms, particularly concerning the consistency of instruction from Rose. A few students have commented on unclear instructions during lessons and a lack of positive reinforcement post-test.

Fantastic experience: Rose has taught me since November 2023. She has been nothing but patient and understanding. She is firm but kind and very interesting to talk to. She's amazing and helped me pass my Drive Test today! Thank you so much to PACE DRIVING SCHOOL and all the best to the Learners currently learning there and in the future!

Negative experience: Rose is a terrible driving instructor. She does not know how to give clear, concise instructions. I sat in on a few of my 18 year old son’s lessons and found myself having to clarify Rose’s instructions after each lesson. Unfortunately there was no time to switch instructors prior to my son’s license appointment at VicRoads Seaford, so he went with Rose for the test. Upon returning to VicRoads after the drive test, Rose told my son his driving was ‘horrendous’, and ‘we’ll see if you get your license’. My son got his license and was ecstatic! Rose did not offer any positive words or congratulations. Instead she went out of her way to make a detour on the drive home, solely for the purpose of pointing out every minor mistake my son had made on the test. At this point, he just wanted to get home to share the exciting news with the family. I’m disappointed in Rose’s conduct to say the least. A woman of her age and experience should know better.

Fantastic experience: Thank You Rose at Pace Driving School, Both of my daughters to got their P Plates on the first test no problems. Rose works hard to support her students to learn how to drive, make the decisions on the road. Then when her students have the skills and the knowledge they need then Rose will tell you and your child they are ready to book in for the test. It has been a wonderful journey working with Rose as she worked with our family so our daughters learnt how to drive. I highly recommend Rose!

Negative experience: Was extremely alarmed to follow a women driving a car with the rego ROSE through Frankston and Cranbourne who was weaving in and out of traffic, not indicating and at one point swerving across 3 lanes of traffic to undertake at a set of traffic lights. This women should not be on the road never mind a driving instructor. Absolute disgrace! Very dangerous driving. Think twice before booking your child with this woman.

Fantastic experience: I can't thank Mark and Pace Driving School enough, who not only helped me get my driver's license, but also helped me gain confidence in traffic, especially on highways. He was extremely patient with me and my driving anxiety. :) I would highly recommend Mark to all learner drivers, especially the nervous ones.

Fantastic experience: I was an adult probationary driver who wanted to switch to manual driving with 0 experience sitting in a car with 3 pedals. Coming into it i was very anxious about it all and had no idea what I was doing but Mark taught me everything I need to drive safely in a manual. I believe we only had 4 or 5 lessons but in that short time Mark showed me how to drive a manual. I am happy to say I passed my test today on the first attempt to convert my auto restricted P license to a no restriction one. Not only this but Mark managed to fit lessons around my crazy full time work schedule. Thank you ☺️

Negative experience: Got one lesson with Mark to learn manual which i need for my current job. He was nice to talk to and clear with his instructions. Tried to book a second lesson as im still not great at driving manual and not only did he leave me days inbetween each text (as you can see from the timestamps in the attached image ) he never even showed up for the second lesson or gave me a time ( i was home the whole day )

Fantastic experience: Hi passed my test at once with them Just took 2 lessons with Rose, she is amazing instructor. The best part is that she has a fair idea about the routes Vic roads testing officers most commonly take. Therefore, she is practically very smart and does her job phenomenally. Cheers to Pace driving school, highly recommend. Tons of thanks to Rose for being so patient, kind and boosting my confidence right before the test.

Fantastic experience: I’m grateful to ROSE for sticking with me and not letting me give up. She has done an amazing job in getting my license. I can’t thank enough for the encouragement and effort for pushing me to learn how to drive. All the knowledge, skills, tips, techniques, etiquettes in safe driving that she thought me are not just for the purpose of passing the test but for becoming a better and safer driver on the road. She is very responsive to all my queries and her spot-on comments to my mistakes and silly things during my lessons with her are unforgettable. I’m driving for more than a month now from the time I get my license, there were instances that I have encountered in my driving and I remember that Rose corrected me on those mistakes that I did during my driving lessons. Her spot-on comments and corrections will really be embedded in your mind that you will remember while you are driving. So, I highly recommend her. She will tailor you to be a better and safer driver.

Fantastic experience: I had Rose as my instructor and I highly recommend her for everyone, especially anxious people. I get lessons with Rose from 1 hour of driving, and finished 120 with her just the other week. Passed my P's test yesterday first time with flying colours and I couldn't have done it without her. Thank you so much Rose, I look forward to seeing you on the road :)

Fantastic experience: Aa a nervous driver with tired mama brain, having failed my test once, I had two lessons with Pierre and got clear instructions and advice getting my confidence up before my new test just a week later, which I passed with no problems!

Crissy NOT CRAZY 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Finally , At first i had a doubt with myself in driving until i got Pierre as my instructor. My husband saw him driving around Dande and asked for his number. After couple of weekends I passed my P2. I highly recommend Pierre because he did an excellent job. He is really a good teacher and trusted me so well. He Taught me how be more defensive on the road. Rule is rule but it really helps. If you are looking for a professional and excellent Instructor please don’t hesitate to contact and look for PIERRE of Pace Driving! Awesome and I’m cloud 9 after I got my P2. Bless this company and the instructors. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: Learning to drive in a manual car limits your choice of instructors. We found Mark to have the right temperament and was calm the entire lesson which put our son at ease. We would definitely recommend Mark for any future manual learner drivers.

Fantastic experience: My instructor Rose was fantastic. She had about 4-6 driving lessons with me and prepared me with all the fundamentals, key points to look for but also made sure that she kept a personal connection too which is a great bonus to have and made it so much easier to focus and learn. I wouldn’t have my license today without Rose and I just want to thank her so much as well as Pace driving school! Definitely deserves all credit and I highly recommend Rose to any young learner or anyone who would like to learn.
