Advanced Driver Training

Advanced Driver Training

Who am I?

I have over 10 years’ experience in driver training during which I have guided countless individuals through the process of obtaining their driver’s license.  I pride myself in, ensuring that beyond simply passing the test that they are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the roads confidently.

I have developed my skills and have qualified as a fleet instructor to provide advanced driving training for fleets and individuals covering a range of aspects of driving, from basic manoeuvres to defensive driving techniques.

I have successfully trained numerous fleet drivers, including commercial vehicles, delivery vans and company cars to become more skilled, confident, and responsible on the roads.

More recently I have been awarded a gold ROSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) award. This demonstrates my dedication to developing my own skills to deliver the highest standards of training to ensure the safety of both trainees and other road users. I aim to empower drivers with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate challenging road conditions and prevent accidents.

On road Training

Advanced driver training aims to equip drivers with the necessary skills and knowledge related to their needs and  to handle challenging road conditions.

Participants will learn advanced techniques such as defensive driving, hazard perception, and emergency manoeuvring. These skills are crucial for drivers to identify, anticipate, and react safely and effectively to hazards and risks that they are likely to-encounter. 

 

Motorway Courses

Motorway training is an essential part of driver training, especially for new drivers. It equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely navigate high-speed roads.

Participants will learn how to merge onto the motorway, change lanes, and exit safely. They also learn about maintaining a safe following distance, using mirrors effectively, and understanding motorway signs and signals. They will be taught how to anticipate and respond to potential hazards, such as breakdowns or accidents, which present a greater risk  on motorways due to the higher speeds involved.

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel Efficient driving can significantly reduce fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions without effecting driving times which on its own can justify the costs of training.  

Fuel economy training is an essential component of driver training programs. 

Participants will learn how to optimize their driving habits, such as avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking, maintaining a consistent speed, and reducing idle time.

Van Training

Van driver training is specifically designed to equip drivers with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate vans on the road. 

Participants will learn about:  van safety, manoeuvring techniques, defensive driving strategies, properly securing cargo, understanding weight distribution, and maintaining vehicle stability. 

Additionally, van driver training covers topics such as van-specific road regulations, parking techniques, and handling different weather conditions.

Electric and Hybrid 

Participants will learn to make best use of the regenerative braking systems of electric vehicles increasing their overall range while drivers of hybrid vehicles will understand and be able to apply the different driving modes to optimise performance.

Additionally, driver training for EVs and hybrids should emphasize the importance of charging infrastructure for EVs and proper maintenance for both types of vehicles.

Post Collision 

Participants will gain  the necessary skills and knowledge to overcome any anxieties or fears they may have developed as a result of a collision.

During post collision driver training, participants are taught defensive driving techniques, hazard perception, and emergency manoeuvres. They also learn how to effectively communicate with other drivers on the road and anticipate potential dangers. By practicing these skills in a controlled environment, drivers gradually rebuild their confidence and develop a greater sense of control behind the wheel.

Adaptable Driver Training

Building confidence

Adaptable driver training is designed to cater to the individual needs and abilities of each driver. It recognizes that every driver is unique and requires personalized instruction.

Adaptable, driver training tailors teaching methods and materials to suit the needs and learning style of each student. Whether someone is a visual learner, an auditory learner, or a kinaesthetic learner, training can be delivered to enable them to develop the necessary skills and knowledge effectively.
