Gem Walker

Fantastic driving instructor, laid back but consistent. She has a wide range of experience with all kinds of vehicles so she really knows her stuff. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in or around Inverness

Angus Rafferty

Heather gives clear instructions, she is patient, kind and encouraging. I would definitely recommend HLM Driver Training. Travelling through from Nairn meant all the lesson was spent learning to drive in Inverness where the test routes are instead of losing time driving to and from Inverness. Thank you so much Heather for all your advice and support.

Heather’s calm and patient approach really inspires confidence.
