Learning To Drive |
| Before
learning how to drive you need a valid, signed provisional
driving licence. To Apply for a provisional licence you will
need a D1 Application form which are available from Post
OfficeŽ branches or your local DVLA office. Alternatively
you can apply online through www.direct.gov.uk
HERE |
| Remember to
have a valid debit or credit card, your UK passport if you
have one and details of previous addresses when applying
online. |
| |
| At the end
of each lesson pupils will be given an assessment sheet that
the instructor has filled in. This allows the instructor to
record your progress, allowing for the further tailoring of
future lessons to suit the pupils needs, and also allows the
pupil track their own progress. |

Pass Plus |
| Pass Plus is not just a
driving lesson; it is aimed at giving you the situations you
did not come across during your learner days. The special
routes have been chosen and designed with this in mind. It gives experience and
helps build skills in driving that would otherwise take
years to obtain, ultimately it is designed to make new
drivers better drivers. It is backed by the Government, DSA and by
most motor insurance companies. |
| |
| The course comprises six modules
that you will take with your instructor after passing your
driving test... |

| There is
no test upon completion. All sessions just need
to be completed to the satisfaction of
your instructor, and you will receive a certificate from the DSA, and
is most cases be eligible for insurance cover at reduced rates. |

Refresher |
| A refresher lesson is
for someone who has passed their driving test and holds a
full driving licence. |
| There are many reasons
why people need to take a refresher course, ranging from
re-learning to drive after an operation or period of not
driving, to learning the school run, the route to work, to
build up confidence after an accident or general confidence
with inner city routes and road systems. |
| We are specially trained
to deal with these requirements sympathetically, tailoring
the lessons to the individuals needs. |
