Location Overview – Weybridge is a historic town in Surrey, located where the River Thames meets the River Wey. Its name dates back to the 7th century and means “bridge over the River Wey.” The town has a rich past, once home to Oatlands Palace and now known for the Brooklands Museum, which celebrates its motoring and aviation heritage. Weybridge is well connected by rail and road, and offers access to beautiful walking and cycling routes along the river and canal. It is a desirable place to live, combining green spaces with a strong sense of community and good transport links to London.
Our UK-wide Courses – Available in Weybridge:
Our UK-wide courses are designed for both business and private clients. We can bespoke a course for a driver of any age or experience level, depending on exact needs and requirements. Some drivers will benefit from a more generalised course, while others need a much more specialised approach. Here is a list of some of the courses we can offer:
* Confidence training
* General advanced and defensive training
* Post road traffic collision (RTC) training
* Van driver training
* Motorhome confidence and familiarisation
* Motorway training
* Courses for younger drivers
* High-performance driving courses
* Pre-court advanced training
* Mature driver training
Some courses will have elements of a number of the above, while others will be very specific. When you book a course with us, you can be confident that we can build a session around your own needs.
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.
* Looking at a driver’s specific day-to-day driving and driving history to make a bespoke training plan
* Looking ahead and developing powers of observation
* Increasing focus on speed and excessive speed
* Modifying attitude towards a safer, more proactive way to drive
* Learning the System of Car Control
* How to avoid road rage situations
* Manoeuvres, reversing, and operating in confined spaces
* Driving safety on the motorway and dual carriageways
* Becoming a safer urban driver – identifying and dealing with pedestrians and cyclists
* Learn how to drive in a more environmentally friendly way
* How to boost driving confidence
* Identifying high-risk driving – such as at night, driving tired or when stressed
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 and most affordable option in our range. While ideal for companies training two or more drivers, it may be too brief for some individuals.
* 2 x 3.5hrs – This option is beneficial for those who can’t commit to a full day of driving and prefer to split the training into two sessions for better retention. Often, drivers are given “homework” between sessions to practice what was covered, which helps reinforce learning. This course is popular with older drivers.
* 7hrs (Full Day) – A full-day course is more cost-effective than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and is ideal for those with limited time. This is a good option if your company has requested the training or if you feel a full day will work better for you. We also offer the option to split a full day into AM and PM sessions for business clients.
* Extended Courses (3, 4, or 5 x 3.5 hrs) – 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.
