Key points you should consider when choosing your instructor:
Are they fully qualified?
A fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) should display a green licence when teaching.
A trainee Driving Instructor should display a pink licence when teaching, Trainees are not allowed to charge you for tuition but they may ask you for a contribution towards the costs of fuel etc.
All of our instructors are fully qualified and registered with the Driving Standards Agency they have also taken and passed an advanced driving test.
Have they completed any additional training?
Most instructors will complete the DSA tests required to teach learners but will undertake no further training.
All of our Instructors have taken and passed both the IAM’s and ROSPA’s advanced driving tests, they have all achieved Gold in the ROSPA test. The ROSPA test is one of the hardest driving or riding tests that you can take.
50% of our instructors have taken and passed the Queen Elizabeth’s foundation teaching people with disabilities to drive test.
How many lessons on average do customers take to pass there test?
Clearly this is a difficult question to answer, everyone learns at different rates and previous experience can vary dramatically. It is fair to say that on average we would expect a 17 year old to require around 40 hours of training, and this will increase as the student gets older. If the student has access to a vehicle and can undertake further training outside of their professional lessons this may well reduce the overall total. Of course, as the training is undertake honest feedback will be given to the client so that they will understand how they are progressing.
The majority of our customers will take and pass the test within 30 hours of tuition.
How much per hour and do you offer and discounts?
