Location Overview – Cannock is a town in the county of Staffordshire, located in the West Midlands. It sits close to the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), a popular destination for walking, cycling, and nature activities. Historically, Cannock developed as a coal mining town, and although the industry has declined, the area has since modernised and diversified economically. The town has good transport links, including proximity to the M6 and M6 Toll motorways, making it convenient for commuting to nearby cities like Birmingham and Wolverhampton. Cannock also features a mix of retail, leisure facilities, and growing residential developments, contributing to its ongoing regeneration.

Discover Our Course Options and Durations:
Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Here’s an overview of the different duration options:
- One Half-Day 3.5hrs – The shortest course option in our range. It’s perfect for companies training multiple drivers or for those who feel they only need a half day.
- Two Half Days – 2 x 3.5hrs – This option is ideal for those who can’t commit to a full day of driving and prefer splitting the training into two sessions for better retention. Drivers often receive “homework” between sessions to practice what was covered, helping reinforce learning. It’s a popular choice for older drivers.
- Full day (7hr) – A full-day course is more cost-effective per session than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and works well for those with not much available time. This option is also ideal if your employer has requested the training or if you feel a full day would be more suitable for you. For business clients, we also offer the flexibility to split a full day into AM and PM sessions.
- Longer Sessions – For those with specific driving challenges or who haven’t driven in some time, we offer extended courses spread over several weeks. These courses are perfect for individuals needing more comprehensive training to address long-standing issues, often those suffering significant driving anxiety or post-RTC stress. These longer sessions run over 3,4, and 5 x 3,5hr sessions.
