Advanced Driver Training

​

Enhance Your Driving Skills with Expert Instruction

Advanced driver training is designed for qualified drivers who want to develop a higher level of skill, safety, and confidence. Whether you drive for work, are preparing for an advanced driving test, or simply want to become a more capable and observant driver, this training provides structured development beyond the standard driving test.

​

This training follows the principles set out in Roadcraft: The Police Driver’s Handbook, which forms the foundation of advanced driving in the United Kingdom. The focus is on planning ahead, maintaining full control of the vehicle, and reducing risk through observation, anticipation, and sound decision making.

 

Sessions are delivered by a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor and Qualified Teacher with extensive experience in advanced and professional driver development.
