Our Course Key Facts – or Read our FAQs:
1. Training is available in 3.5-hour or 7-hour sessions. The 7-hour option can be split between two drivers (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), making it more cost-effective than booking individual 3.5-hour sessions. Discounts are also available for larger bookings.
2. We provide nationwide coverage across the UK.
3. Training sessions begin and end at your office locations.
4. All instructors are DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) registered.
5. We assess drivers across 25 key driving areas using detailed reporting sheets, rating performance as Excellent, Very Good, Good, Adequate, or Poor. This evaluation is conducted both at the start and end of the training, allowing you to track their progress and overall skill improvement.

How a Course Runs:
All our courses are road-based and take place in a driver’s own car/van. The course is bespoke and based on the needs of the driver, although it follows a set format, which covers:
1. An Initial Drive – This allows our tutors to assess the driver’s level of experience and skill after the initial introductions and vehicle safety checks. We ask a driver to drive the way they normally do, with no input from the tutor, for around 20 minutes.
We then mark them 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 the driver and 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 the needs and requirements of the driver 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 the driver is also encouraged. The tutor will again mark the driver on the 25 driving areas, which were looked at on the initial drive, making it very easy to see how the driver has improved, to what extent, and in what areas.
We provide a risk assessment for each driver at the end, which will be High, Medium or Low risk. A pdf report will be sent to you around three days after each training session. View some report examples here.
