This bespoke driving course is ideal for those who want to become safer, more skilled, and more confident behind the wheel.
Throughout the session, you’ll be introduced to a variety of advanced and defensive driving techniques, tailored to your needs and experience. Training takes place across a mix of road types—including rural roads, urban environments, motorways, and dual carriageways—to ensure a well-rounded experience.
How the Course Starts:
The course begins with a relaxed, no-pressure initial drive, where you’re encouraged to drive exactly as you normally would, without any coaching or intervention from your tutor. This helps you ease into the session while giving us a clear, honest picture of your driving habits and style.
Following this drive, we assess your performance across 25 key areas using our bespoke training report. Each area is rated as Excellent, Very Good, Good, Adequate, or Poor, giving us a structured foundation for the rest of your tailored training.
The Training:
After the initial drive, we take time to discuss what was observed, and we actively encourage your feedback before any coaching begins. This open conversation ensures the training is a collaborative process, based not only on your driving but also on your goals and how you feel behind the wheel.
Your coaching will be shaped by what we see during the drive, what you personally want to focus on, and the insights our tutor gathers while working with you. For instance, if your observation and forward planning need improvement but your speed control is excellent, we’ll dedicate more time to enhancing your awareness and decision-making, then maybe explore how factors like speed tie into overall road safety and confidence.

Course Duration:
A half-day is ideal for those who want a refresher on their driving, whereas a full day is designed to really help boost their driving. The same things are covered on a half or full day, but the full day gives a longer time frame for the training to sink in and develop. All training takes place in your n car or van. We can provide training on a Saturday at no additional cost.
If you want more than a 3.5hr session, but not in one go, we offer 2 x 3.5hr (very popular), 3 x 3.5hr, 4 x 3.5hr or 5 x 3.5hr sessions (more suited for specific issues). Learn more about what course duration is best for you – more info.
Who do our courses?
It’s uncommon for someone to wake up one morning and spontaneously decide to take an advanced driving course; there’s usually a meaningful reason behind the choice. Often, it’s triggered by a personal experience or a desire to feel more confident and in control on the road. Here are just a few of the situations where we’ve helped private clients take positive steps forward:
1. They’ve had a near miss, which has concerned them
2. They need a refresh of their driving after many years
3. They’ve lost confidence
4. They have a new car (faster/larger) or a much larger vehicle like a campervan.
5. Their solicitor has suggested they do this course pending a motoring conviction
6. They wish to help a younger or more at-risk driver
7. Their employer has asked them to do a course
8. A partner or family member has asked them to do an advanced course
