""Hi Craig, Just wanted to say many thanks again for Saturday's advanced driving day. Had a really good day, and even forgot that AJ was sat in the back! As I passed my test first time with you as my instructor all of 4 years ago, you must be doing something right! But, I agree with Joan, much better driving instructor than a stand up comic! Hope to see you again soon - dont be afraid to use that indicator! Morrisxxx p.s. - Theres a B&Q in BallaQuirk.. " " - Marrissa

"Great place to start learning, I've been with one other instructor a while back then stopped learning, once I started again it was with MSM who really helped me understand a lot about driving and even helped break things down I didn't quite understand if I asked.

""He said my style was best suited for driving in the rain. Lucky we are on Isle of Man then. " " - Wendy
""Have trained with a couple of driving schools and MSM were by far the best. Where other driving schools were just taking my money, MSM sorted out my bad habits and taught me not only the skills I needed to pass my test, but have to be a safe driver. MSM's teaching style mixes work with fun, so you learn quickly and effectively while still enjoying yourself. Would recommend these guys over any other school on the island. If you're considering driving with this school, don't think about it too long: just do it! You wont be dissapointed. " " - Luke Simpson
""heyyy Craig Hodgson is an amazing driving instructor! id recommend him to anyone!! thanks for putting up with me for craig =] every lesson was enjoyable and a huge thanks for getting me through my test 2nd time .. gotta say msm are the best driving school on the island :) " " - Robert Monk
"" Hi Wendy I would like to say a big thank you to Wendy Scott. She is a great instructor, giving you the confidence and constant praise needed when learning to drive, she ia a very patient instructor and without her I would not have passed my test and to her credit I passed first time. So once again a big thank you to Wendy. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who is looking for a great instructor. " " - Cherie Kelly
""i had to re-take my test after a 12 month driving ban.i had soooo many bad habits.with craigs fantastic professional approach and wonderful sense of humour.i got there.!!! again!!! big big thankyou marie x p.s have fab 40 th. king of the road!!!!!" " - Marie Deakin
""As a previously disqualified driver I was very worried about being able to pass a test again, 13years of bad habit driving made me very cautious and filled me with a lack of confidence and dread to be able to pass the test. Without Wendy's superb motivation and skill I would not have been able to achieve a very important goal for myself and my family. Exceptional tuition and insight helped me to not only pass the theory test with 100% but also most importantly get through the practical test with self confidence and belief. As well as greatly improved awareness and observation that I had lost in previous years. So thank you Wendy - and also thanks to Andrea in the office for assisting with my questions and worries in the build up to getting driving once more. As a last note I am extremely impressed that with only 3 lessons with Wendy's careful and easy to learn attitude and forebearance I passed the test with relative ease. " - Adrian Breed
"""The instructor training was split into 2 main parts. The driving part (part 2) and the instructor part (part 3). The main focus of the part 2 was to iron out any bad habits that may have crept into the general driving. The instructor part was giving us the skills and techniques to be able to teach real life learners. In order to do this Gary Longstaff at MSM had to play the role of a learner driver to which he did brilliantly, although at the time it was hard to believe that real learners would get up to the tricks that he did! The trickiest part of the training was trying to remember that Gary was an actual learner trying to act out real life situations that would occur as opposed to a fully qualified driver. The skills that we learnt over the course of the training were invaluable and gave us a very realistic idea about what to expect once we got out onto the road with learners." Richard Weir ADI " " - Richard

"I had so much fun on my Advanced Driving Course, which was all down to the abilities of Craig. Somewhere in the blur of all those years that have gone by since I passed my driving test, the excitement of being out driving on the open roads has been overtaken by the tedium of the simple necessity of driving from A to B. For me, Craig's insight put the fun back into driving. And that re-ignited my enthusiasm to take seriously the risks I face on the road and to actively practice the theories and skills that Craig taught me. I look forward to being a better and safer driver. And in time I suspect I'll be back for a refresher lesson. " - Suzanne
"MSM is truly the place to be if you are serious about taking & passing your driving test. The level of support and dedication shown by Wendy and her team was truly astronomical and I will recommend this school to Friends & Family without hesitation any day! Keep the exceptional work up Wendy! " - Patrick
"I have just passed my driving test after been with MSM for little overa month! anybody who have had several failed driving tests knows the frustration and sometimes despair this causes.Before i met Lisa (MSM instructor) i had been through four failed tests and almost two years of learning! i thought i could never pass because i felt there was nothing new to learn,but this all changed in the last week of november when i had my first assessment lesson it was brilliant i had more confidence driving because i remember Lisa saying to me the first time"i want you to learn to drive not so that you can only pass your test but to go beyond that and be a very good and safe driver".A great part of learning with MSM is the ease of paying with a credit card and the mini is simply super! finally i want to say thank you so much life will be so much easier now." - louisa griffin
