Bespoke Driving Course Content:

Although the courses we offer are very different, there are still some generic points we include; the key difference is how we deliver them to the client. For example, boosting confidence for a young driver will look very different to boosting confidence for a driver with 50 years of experience.

Below are some of the common things we look at and develop during our driver training sessions.

* Enhancing anticipation and forward-planning abilities
* Developing greater speed awareness and control
* Learning to better anticipate the actions of other road users
* Practising essential manoeuvres with confidence and precision

Safety & Hazard Management

* Mastering safer driving techniques across motorways, rural roads, and urban environments
* Building skills for driving safely in adverse weather conditions
* Recognising different types of skids and knowing how to respond effectively

Driver Awareness & Behaviour

* Improving driver mindset and attitude behind the wheel
* Understanding the causes of road rage and how to manage emotional responses
* Deepening knowledge of road rules and driving regulations

Efficiency & Environmental Awareness

*  Adopting more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving habits

The personalised nature of our training means we can vary the time we spend on specific points. It all depends on the driver and what’s best for them.

Duration Overview – What’s Best For You?

Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Below is an overview of the different duration options:

3.5hrs – This is the shortest course option in our range. It can be ideal for companies training two or more drivers. So a full day is split into 2 x 3.5hr. It’s also useful for those who feel they only need a half-day session to address their needs.

2 x 3.5hrs – This option is beneficial for those who can’t commit to a full day and prefer to extend the training over two sessions for a better learning experience. Often, drivers are given tasks to do between sessions to practice what was covered, which helps the overall learning experience. This course is popular with private clients.

7hrs (Full Day) – A full-day course is more cost-effective than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and is ideal for those with little time. This is a great option if your company has requested the training or if you simply feel a full day works better for you. We also offer the option to split a full day into AM and PM sessions for business clients.

Longer Courses (– For individuals with specific driving challenges or those who haven’t driven in a while, we offer longer courses that can be spread over several weeks. These options are ideal for those needing more in-depth training to address deep-rooted issues, especially those who suffer some form of trauma after a road collision. These courses are in 3,4, and 5 x 3.5hr sessions.

High-Risk Roads and Junctions in Ealing

This major route runs through Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, and Southall. It’s been flagged for safety concerns, particularly for cyclists and pedestrians. Campaigners have highlighted the need for improved crossings and cycle lanes along this road.

* Hanger Lane Gyratory
A complex multi-lane roundabout connecting the A40 Western Avenue and the North Circular Road. It’s known for heavy traffic flow and has been described as one of London’s scariest junctions due to its design and volume of vehicles.

* West Ealing – Lido Junction Area
Following a fatal incident in 2017, there have been calls for safety improvements in this area. Despite audits and consultations, residents report that necessary changes have not been implemented, leading to ongoing safety concerns.

* Southall High Street at Avenue Road
This junction has been identified as the most dangerous in Ealing, with two fatalities and two slight injuries reported in the past five years. The main cause of injuries is motorists turning right and colliding with cyclists along the Uxbridge Road.

* Northfields Avenue
This road has seen approximately 35 collisions in the past three years, with seven people killed or seriously injured. In response, two new speed cameras have been installed to deter speeding and improve safety.

Ealing Council is actively monitoring these areas and implementing measures such as traffic calming, improved signage, and better pedestrian facilities to enhance safety. Residents are encouraged to report concerns and participate in consultations to contribute to ongoing improvements.
