Cathay Driving Centre

Thanks you Uncle Sulaiman for your guidance. Got my Class 3 license on my very first try. Instructor is very detailed and patient with new learner, highly recommend beginners to check them out for private teaching.

Highly recommended centre with very experienced instructors, got my driving license from uncle Sulaiman within 14 practices. Patient, friendly and approachable staffs. Overall great experience! ??????

Big Kudos to Cathay Driving Centre. I passed my driving test this month and I really owe it to them. Not only did I pass my test, I felt that I truly learn to drive more safely and confidently though Uncle Sulaiman. Just to share my story: I started my manual driving lessons with a private instructor that my friend referred to me. He lived in Hougang while I stayed at Bedok, and despite him having the car, I was told that I have to travel over to Hougang for lessons. I thought that was the norm, and continued with 18 lessons before finding out that I really did not enjoy learning. Due to this and other reasons, I stopped my lessons with this instructor. Subsequently, while searching online for driving instructors near me (in Bedok), I found the gem that is Cathay Driving Centre through the wonderful Google Reviews. Not only is it within walking distance of my place, the staff are really friendly. I walked in to their office, and Kim listened to my situation and answered questions I had about the fees as well as lessons. After that, I felt that maybe I could try learning through them again. I am really grateful to Uncle Sulaiman, who like others mentioned in their review, made me feel at ease. He communicates well and pushes me to do my best. As a patient and encouraging instructor, he helped me to better understand what I learned previously. Before that, I had to try my best to decipher what my instructor was saying, but with Uncle Sulaiman I feel comfortable to clarify the doubts in my mind. I didn't pass on my first try, in fact only on my third try. This is because I don't do well in tests and often let my own thoughts get the best of me. After two failed attempts, I felt very discouraged and wanted to give up. However, Uncle Sulaiman believed in me and encouraged me to try again. With his kind support and constant revisions, I finally pulled through all my own mental struggles and passed on the third try at the age of 29. He even tried to get my mind away from the pre-test stress with a joke. I can't say enough how much this instructor really goes above and beyond to help me. I only wished that I had started learning with Cathay Driving Centre from the start of my entire journey. Recommend them to anyone looking to learn. For great advice and awesome instructors, go to them! :)

Despite being in NS and only taking lessons once or twice every two weeks, I managed to pass my manual license on the first try here! Huge thanks to Uncle Sulaiman, who made me feel at ease from the first session and is truly a great teacher. He is patient and knows how to prepare you for all the things required to pass the test and to be a safe driver. Also a fun conversationalist for all the hours you'll spend with him in the car! Many thanks to Kim as well, who handles the administrative matters. She is a very pleasant and friendly person who took the time to answer any questions I had and helped me arrange lessons in such a way that it fit in with my schedule and allowed me to take the test as quickly as possible. Do feel free to give their number a call if you have any enquiries! Overall a very genuine business, convenient neighborhood location, reasonable rates, great instructor/customer service, and provides you the flexibility to learn at your own pace until you're ready for the test. *For those looking to enroll in this centre as a private learner, do NOT enroll as a school learner first and make the same costly mistake that I did (you will not get a refund for the school enrollment and would have to pay again to enroll as a private learner).

I've been recommended to take lessons from Cathay DC by my wife who has had previous positive experience. I've had some driving lessons and taken (unsuccesfully) a few tests in the past in the UK. My instructor - uncle Sulaiman - was able to very quickly figure out where i stood, what my good and bad habits were, and fix as appropriate. He was very patient, observant and most importantly happy to answer any questions I had, be it wrt driving techniques, laws. Additionally, he's very easy to talk to about anything, and helps take the edge off even when the traffic situation can get tense. As a result, I was not only able to pass the test with ease, but I also feel very confident behind the wheel in general.

First time learner and passed the driving test (manual) on my first attempt. I attribute the pass to Uncle Sulaiman who has been extremely patient with me throughout my journey. Special thanks to Kim and everyone else at Cathay Driving Centre who have been extremely helpful with their advice and settling of administrative matters. Uncle Sulaiman is a highly professional and experienced instructor who always tries to understand my train of thought in order to come up with specialized ways and easy-to-understand steps for me to learn from my mistakes. As a beginner who lacks confidence learning how to operate a car, Uncle Sulaiman is a very patient and encouraging mentor. He is also a stern but fair instructor who does not just simply reprimand me for my mistakes. He always probes and listens to my train of thoughts to better understand why I made errors when performing certain incorrect maneuvers in order for me to better correct and learn from them. He is an approachable individual and is always glad to entertain any of my questions, no matter how simple they are. He continuously pushes me to my limits and always highlights common mistakes made by others along the way so that I can learn from those mistakes vicariously. I have learned not just how to pass the driving test but also how to drive on the road in a safe and practical manner. If you have a choice to pick a driving instructor, I cannot emphasize how much I would recommend Uncle Sulaiman. I could not have been luckier to have Uncle Sulaiman as my driving instructor. All in all, I have no regrets signing up with Cathay Driving Centre to obtain my Driving License and I recommend anyone who is reading this to reach out to them to kickstart your journey to obtain a Driving License. To anyone still hesitant about whether they want to learn driving with Cathay Driving Centre, I suggest reaching out to them directly as they are friendly and approachable. Once again, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Cathay Driving Centre and Uncle Sulaiman for a very challenging but fruitful learning journey. Much appreciated.

To anyone looking for class 3 license. Here's the centre you should head down to. I personally recommend Uncle Sulaiman!! His tips and strategies allow me to pass my test on my FIRST attempt! Thank you for always believing in your students. He teaches one patiently and will always remind you of your constant/repetitive mistakes. His meticulous method of teaching was much appreciated by all the students. To Uncle Sulaiman: take care and thanks again!! ? To staffs at Cathay: thank you so much for good service.

I started learning driving directly with CDC but realized the quality of the instructors, especially their care level was low. Switched to uncle Sulaiman for my Manual driving lessons and I can clearly see positive differences. Uncle cares about your learnings, your understandings, as well as your safety. I passed my test yesterday and I'm very grateful. Thank you Uncle!
