Location Overview – The city of Truro is a fascinating place to live and visit and is the county town of Cornwall. It grew from mining with the tin industry and its port and is the southernmost city in the UK. Attracting thousands of tourists each year, its leading economy is now based on tourism and, at times, can be pretty congested with commuter traffic, especially in the summer months. Truro has everything you would want to expect from a modern, well-connected city, great shopping, great entertainment, and fabulous restaurants. Truro’s heritage is very evident in its historic architecture, delightful parks, and public spaces, and at the same time, it is contemporary, quirky, and unique. In Truro, vibrant, local independent shops rub shoulder with the larger national retailers in an eclectic mix. Truro has a crisscross of cobbled roads, browsable streets and charming mews. Since 2011 we have helped many private and corporate drivers become the safest drivers they can be in the Truro area and across the rest of Cornwall, including Treliske, Buckshead, Calanick, and Shortlanesend.

During a session, we typically look at the following:

* Developing an improved attitude towards motoring
* Car control (gears, steering, use of signals)
* Understand your own limitations and at-risk factors – most of which you won’t be aware of
* Undoing years of ingrained bad habits
* Become a more skilful driver on all road types
* The system of car control – IPSGA
* Manoeuvres and driving in restricted areas
* Coping with bad weather
* Learning how to anticipate the actions of other road users better
* Driving in busy urban environments
* Learn how you and other drivers think when behind the wheel
* Understanding observational elements of driving (seeing) and building these into your driving plan
* Coping and defusing with road rage
* Learning why skids can happen and how to control them
* Learning to see and not just look when driving

Once the training is complete, a PDF report will be sent to you with things assessed, such as confidence, forward planning, attitude, vehicle control, and more. This report is beneficial as it’s completely bespoke to the driver and provides valuable tips and insights for future safer driving. Each report is thoroughly verified and documented – proof you’ve had driver training with a DVSA-registered professional.

Truro, the southernmost city in the United Kingdom, is just under 232 miles west-south-west of London. Newquay, Cornwall’s main airport, is just 12 miles north of Truro. Advanced Driver courses with us are different from other providers, we will come to you, and our highly trained and professional tutors will take you out on the road in your own vehicles, with detailed driver reports on completion.

Half or Full Day?

Our half-day option works best if you want to train several drivers back-to-back. It’s cheaper per head, and your business has less downtime. As a private client, a half-day is ideal if you need a short refresher.

A full day is more suited if you or a driver has specific issues, such as limited confidence, complaints about their driving (company drivers) or if you’re a private client and want more than a half-day training session but want to get the training done and dusted in one day.

We find many clients opt for the full-day session – and book one driver in the morning and one in the afternoon – there is no additional charge for this, and it works well for business clients.
