Location Overview – Wellingborough is a market town in Northamptonshire. It’s around 65 miles from London and about 11 miles east of Northampton. Its economy is diversifying: from traditional engineering and footwear into logistics, distribution, environmental tech, creative/digital industries and business services. It has good transport links via road and rail. The A45 dual carriageway (south of the town) connects to the A14, to the M1, and to neighbouring towns. Over the years, we have provided bespoke driving courses for private and business clients.

What Our Courses Cover:
Our advanced and defensive driver training is tailored to cover a broad range of key areas, depending on the specific course selected and the individual skills and experience of each driver. Some of the core topics we typically address include:
* Enhancing anticipation and forward-planning skills
* Developing greater speed awareness and control
* Improving driver mindset and attitude behind the wheel
* Mastering safer driving techniques across motorways, rural roads, and urban environments
* Deepening knowledge of road rules and driving regulations
* Understanding the causes of road rage and how to manage emotional responses
* Practising essential manoeuvres with confidence and precision
* Building skills for driving safely in adverse weather conditions
* Recognising different types of skids and how to respond effectively
* Adopting more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving habits
* Learning to better anticipate the behaviour of other road users
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.
