Whether you are choosing driving lessons for yourself or for a member of your family, it’s vital that you make the right choice. Many people are so eager to pass their driving test, being able to complete all their training in a short period of time is exactly what they require. However, this means there can be quite a lot of pressure to be ready in time for your test. Others perhaps, learn more productively without that pressure and prefer to take lessons on a week by week basis until they are feeling more confident about booking a test. I can offer suitable training for both of these situations and others in between. All lessons will use a learning system that allows you to monitor your own progress and spend more time practicing.
It’s worth remembering that the results of the a government survey showed that drivers who passed their driving test had, on average, completed 45 hours of professional tuition and about 22 hours of practice with family or friends.

Since the safe drivers of tomorrow are the well-taught learners of today I offer courses from 15-50 hours and block bookings of 10 hours and individual lessons, details of which are listed below. If you have any questions about any of the information provided here do not hesitate to contact me. If you are at all unsure of the type of course you may require I can offer a free, no obligation, home visit or an assessment drive to assess your current standard.
Individual Lessons and Block Bookings
Learning to drive can be spread over several weeks and lessons can be booked individually or in a blocks of 10 hours. Lessons are 60, 90 or 120 minutes long.
Fixed Length Courses
All fixed length courses include the practical driving test and the learning materials. The Test Booster course is ideal for those who are nearing test standard and who just need a short burst of lessons prior to the test or for those who have had an attempt at the test some time ago but haven’t had any lessons since. The Midway Pass course is for those who have already learned the basic control skills of driving. Other courses are suitable for those who need to complete the entire training process and obviously the suitable length for YOU depends on how quickly YOU learn (everyone is different) and how much extra practice you can arrange with friends or family. (Applicants for fixed length training options must have passed their theory test prior to commencement.)

Pass Plus training course £160 (6 hours)
Pass Plus is a road safety initiative aimed at improving the skills of newly licensed drivers. After pupils pass their test, it is recommended that they take further tuition from a registered Pass Plus instructor. Pupils reaching the required standard should then be entitled to a substantial discount on their motor insurance premium. Most of the large insurance company's participate in this discount scheme and their names can be found through the Pass Plus designated website: www.direct.gov/passplus Because I support this initiative to promote road safety I offer any pupils taking their lessons and test with me a further £50 discount on Pass Plus.
The course covers 6 modules: motorway, all weather, night driving, out of town, town (rush hour), and dual carriageway driving. The course will take a minimum of 6 hours to complete generally all in 1 day. It must be done within the first year of gaining your licence and has been proven to lower the risk of new drivers being involved in accidents.
