Do not use this school. She is unprofessional. Cancels appointments last minute. Doesn't communicate about it and then shifts blame. I had a time sensitive situation and was messed around and then when I finally got a lesson with her it was later in the day than planned. She picked me up while a previous student was in the car, dropped them off, and made me drive a long way back in peak hour traffic with a car I was unfami**** with and didn't have good control over and the methods of driving had me in scary situations in traffic despite the fact that I had been driving for 2 years and was a good driver the rest of the time. She also berated and shouted and wouldn't listen to any concerns I had. It was not constructive and did nothing but traumatize and put me off driving. Terrible service. I then saw the other reviews on here and immediately decided to move to another driving school. I was worried I wouldn't get refunded due to what I had read about other people having issues with that here I got some money back but not as much as I should have but I cut losses at that point. Please don't fall for this woman. 0/10 would not recommend

Please do not use this woman as a driving school. I drove behind her and she is on her phone, skips stop streets, drives way over the speed limit and has a bad attitude when almost taking out a car that was in the right. The car that is branded and she was driving is in a terrible state. This is a terrible way for her to be driving and i can only imagine the bad attitude she has with her students. She should lead by example.

Stay away from ELMA HATTINGH We paid upfront and after we paid her the entire attitude changed. She did not show up for classes and then claimed that she was waiting at our gate (3 days in a row) We have a camera system and nothing shows on the system Also who will wait 2 hours in front on someones gate and not call them She is a **** and a *****!!

Terrible company. I bought a whole package for my son for Christmas 2022 for driving lessons. He was not going to get his license so in March 2023 I asked for a refund. I have been asking ever since and still cannot get my R3 500.00 back. I even asked if she could pay it off and pay me back. She just blocked me on WhatsApp, still ended up sending me a promotional special with her banking details for 2023 December. When I once again requested my funds back I was blocked again. Will be pursuing legal action. I am glad I saved all of the WhatsApp communications.

You should be careful to pay upfront with this lady , I paid R5100.00 for 15 lessons of driving for my daughter , we cancelled the service after 3 lessons as my daughter decided to go overseas and wont be needing her drivers in SA any longer and we requested a refund. It has been almost a year and still have not received anything back. She also does not have good etiquette when it comes to giving the lessons. Pleas be careful of this company
