Location Overview – Skegness is a seaside town on the Lincolnshire coast, known for its sandy beaches and traditional holiday attractions. It became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the arrival of the railway, drawing tourists from across the Midlands. The town is home to the original Butlin’s holiday camp, which opened in 1936 and remains a major family resort. Skegness offers a lively seafront with amusements, arcades, a funfair, and a pier, making it a favourite destination for classic British seaside holidays. The surrounding area also features nature reserves and coastal walks, offering a mix of leisure and natural beauty.

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.
Duration Overview – What’s Best For You?
Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Below is an overview of the different duration options:
3.5hrs – This is the shortest course option in our range. It can be ideal for companies training two or more drivers. So a full day is split into 2 x 3.5hr. It’s also useful for those who feel they only need a half-day session to address their needs.
2 x 3.5hrs – This option is beneficial for those who can’t commit to a full day and prefer to extend the training over two sessions for a better learning experience. Often, drivers are given tasks to do between sessions to practice what was covered, which helps the overall learning experience. This course is popular with private clients.
7hrs (Full Day) – A full-day course is more cost-effective than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and is ideal for those with little time. This is a great option if your company has requested the training or if you simply feel a full day works better for you. We also offer the option to split a full day into AM and PM sessions for business clients.
Longer Courses – For individuals with specific driving challenges or those who haven’t driven in a while, we offer longer courses that can be spread over several weeks. These options are ideal for those needing more in-depth training to address deep-rooted issues, especially those who suffer some form of trauma after a road collision. These courses are in 3,4, and 5 x 3.5hr sessions.
