About Us

Our approach to learning to drive centres around the DVSA’s belief that each session should be client centred.

We tailor our training to suit the driver following a structured course programme. We believe that every person that takes a seat behind the wheel has some knowledge about how to drive. It may not be a lot but there is something there. 

We all start learning to drive from around 4 years old from seeing our parents and peers behind the wheel, and from being a pedestrian. So for that reason, rather than try to teach the learner to drive the way we drive, we help the learner though coaching and development to find their own way of driving through safe and reflective practises. We use modern training methods and gone are the days of a driving instructor telling you what to do.
