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.
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.
