What People Say
Hi. My name is Jonathan I work for Mint in Nottingham. I recently received my notification for my first check test. I decided to take some extra tuition with Jon from Mint. We discussed what would happen on the day and Jon gave excellent advice on how to approach the test. I am now feeling much more confident about taking my check test in September. Thanks Jon.

I have been a franchisee with Mint Driving Shool since January 2008. I find the School friendly and approachable and always there to help and advise if needed. Since I started, I am happy with the amount of pupils passed on to me. Training from Jon is readily available if requested. I have had training from Jon to help with my check test and gain advanced driving qualifications. I would recommend a Mint franchise to any ADI or PDI.

After a lot of money spent and months of tuition which wasn’t really up to scratch, I found Jon (Jonathan Hodgkinson) of MINT Driving School a very capable and confident teacher in the art of becoming a Driving Instructor.
It was the ease at which Jon puts you that enables more learning to take place and the examples given easy to understand.
Follow this up with strict control of the lesson and I was soon on my way to being an instructor.
Thanks to Jon I have now qualified as an instructor and will be filling in the gap between Nottingham and Derby as I continue my allegience with MINT Driving from a PDI to now an ADI.
Thank you Jon. Regards, Andy Sayer

Hi, my name’s Lee and i am driving instructor with Mint Driving School. i recently had to undertake my check test and decided to have some C.P.D. (continued professional development) with Jon from Mint. I was a little worried about what the check test entailed but Jon was very thorough about what would be involved and his help and advice was invaluable. The check test went exactly like Jon said it would and i passed to continue teaching. Thanks Jon.
