Location Introduction – Nuneaton is a large market town in Warwickshire, located approximately nine miles north of Coventry. It is the largest town in the county and is known as the birthplace of the Victorian novelist George Eliot. Historically, Nuneaton developed as a centre for textiles and later became known for its coal mining and manufacturing industries. Today, it features a mix of retail, business parks, and residential areas, with good transport links including rail services to Birmingham and London. The town also offers green spaces, such as Riversley Park, and a range of community and leisure facilities.

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.
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.

Road Safety – Risks and Hazards in Nuneaton
Several roads in Nuneaton have been identified as having higher accident rates or safety concerns.
A5 (Watling Street): This major road has been associated with a significant number of accidents. The road is part of the Midlands logistics network, which may contribute to its high traffic volume and accident rate.
