I trained class 2 in slough with Wallace training, first instructor was just mad, often shake his heads, sounds ffff puff,tells me I make stupid mistakes bla bla, put me in big stress. After first fail, I refused to train with him again. Second instructor was very helpful and motivated me… but, road conditions in slough…many and busy roundabouts with fast drivers…failed another 2 times because roundabouts. Passed on 4th time when I almost gave up.
I trained class 1 for 4 days with Peter Smythe, and passed first time… the traffic on that area was very quiet, almost no roundabouts, or not busy. And the instructor Chris was just excellent.
So , I believe location and instructor make big difference.
