Have you been asked to book yourself on an advanced driving course by your employer?
We are often approached by individuals that have been asked by their employers to take an advanced/defensive driving course for a range of reasons, all of which we can help with, which often include:
1. Company Policy – More and more companies are asking drivers, especially those who drive high annual miles, to complete an advanced driving course. We are here to help if you need to arrange a course.
1. High Collision Rate/New Motoring Conviction – If you have a high incident rate, or have had a motoring conviction, or new points on your licence, you may have been asked by your employer to book an advanced/defensive driving course. We can arrange a course and send your post-course report conveniently via email a few days after.
2. New Employee – Often, companies prefer a new driver takes an advanced/defensive driving course as part of their induction. If you are new to the company, we can quickly arrange a training session.
3. Young Driver – Many fleet insurers require a young driver to take an advanced/defensive driving course before driving company vehicles. We can train a driver aged 17+ as long as you have a full driving licence.

How a Course Runs:
All our courses are road-based and take place in your own car/van. The course is bespoke and based on the needs of you as a driver, although it follows a set format, which covers the following:
1. An Initial Drive – This allows our tutors to assess your level of experience and skill after the initial introductions and vehicle safety checks. We ask you to drive the way you normally do with no input from the tutor for around 20 minutes.
We then mark you in 25 areas of driving, either Excellent, Very Good, Good, Adequate or Poor. This forms an excellent basis to build on the session, as both you and your tutor can see the areas which need the most development. This helps create a truly bespoke training session.
2. Coaching – Based on the initial drive, the coaching will be designed around your needs and requirements in an interactive and enjoyable way. We will be driving on a range of roads, including urban driving, out-of-town (rural) driving, and motorway/dual carriageways. During this session, there will be a chance for two-way feedback, along with opportunities to recap what has been covered.
3. Debrief – At the end of the course, there will be a two-way debrief, where the tutor will provide feedback on the session and where feedback from yourself is also encouraged. The tutor will again mark you on the 25 driving areas, which were looked at on the initial drive, making it very easy to see how you improved, to what extent, and in what areas.
