Location Overview – Brackley is a historic market town in West Northamptonshire, situated near the borders of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Traditionally known for its wool and lace-making industries, the town has medieval roots and retains a charming character with a mix of old coaching inns, Georgian buildings, and a traditional marketplace. In modern times, Brackley is well known as the home of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, giving it a strong connection to motorsport. Its location near the M40 makes it well placed for commuting to both London and Birmingham, while still offering a quieter, community-focused lifestyle. The town is also near Silverstone Circuit, further strengthening its ties to British motorsport heritage.

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.
Core Driving Skills
* 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.
Course Duration:
Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Below is an overview of the duration options available:
3.5hrs – This is the shortest and most cost-effective option. While it’s perfect for companies training two or more drivers, it may be too brief for some individuals who require more in-depth training.
2 x 3.5hrs – Ideal for those who find a full day of training too demanding. This option allows drivers to absorb information over a longer period. Typically, drivers are given “homework” after the first session to practice before the second, making it particularly suitable for older drivers or those needing additional time to retain information.
7hrs (Full Day) – While this can be intense, it’s a more affordable option than two separate 3.5-hour sessions. It’s ideal for individuals with limited time, such as those requested by their employer to complete the course in one day. For business clients, we offer flexibility by splitting the day—training one driver in the morning and another in the afternoon.
Extended Courses (3, 4, or 5 x 3.5hrs) – Designed for those with more specific challenges or long periods of time away from driving. These courses are spread over several weeks, providing a deeper, more comprehensive approach to tackling driving difficulties or refreshing long-forgotten skills.
