ds(15) did these a few times when he was around 12-14 as birthday or Xmas gifts. First 2 he enjoyed for the novelty factor, but the place they did it (top floor of a multistory carpark) was crammed with cars and there was little space and they were lucky if they got into 2nd gear, although they did try some manoeuvres.

during the 3rd one the instructor made him feel really uncomfortable, older guy (probably 65+) singing "Its all about the clutch", making awkward jokes and just being irritating through the whole lesson (1hr cost £60), and he said he didn't want to go back. We complained and got offered another lesson for free but ds wasn't interested.

It is random who you get on the day at these centres so I wouldn't risk again. We might try next year to find a local instructor who does lessons on private land instead and if he likes him at least we know who it will be if we book another one.
