What Our Courses Cover:
Our advanced and defensive driver training is tailored to cover a broad range of key areas, depending on the specific course selected and each driver’s skills and experience. Some of the core topics we typically address include:
* Enhancing anticipation and forward-planning skills
* Developing greater speed awareness and control
* Improving driver mindset and attitude behind the wheel
* Mastering safer driving techniques across motorways, rural roads, and urban environments
* Deepening knowledge of road rules and driving regulations
* Understanding the causes of road rage and how to manage emotional responses
* Practising essential manoeuvres with confidence and precision
* Building skills for driving safely in adverse weather conditions
* Recognising different types of skids and how to respond effectively
* Adopting more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving habits
* Learning to better anticipate the behaviour of other road users
These points offer a general overview; some may be more relevant to certain drivers, while others might not. This emphasises the customised nature of our training.
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.
