We cover Bath + All of the UK – We come to you for the training:
No two drivers are the same, which is why we have created a range of course options to fit your needs.
3.5hr – Mostly opted for by business customers when training a number of drivers back to back. It’s also open to private customers too who only need a shorter course. The 3.5hr course is our shortest course available.
3.5hr x 2 – If you don’t fancy a full day but want to cover more than a 3.5hr session, then this split course is great. The two sessions can be split over a few days or weeks. Sometimes we can run this course over two days.
7hr full day – Intensive in its nature. But it is a great way to get the course done in one day. It’s certainly tiring, but a great option for those pressed for time.
We have more specialist courses for drivers – 3,4,5 x 3.5hr courses. Mainly designed for private customers, but is also open to business clients for specific at-risk drivers.

For all our bespoke driving courses in Bath, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – The nearest dedicated motorways around Bath are the A4, which leads to Bristol through Keynsham, and the M5 or M4 via the A46 to the north. These are very busy routes, especially in the summer months, with much tourism in the area. Motorway driving can be very worrying if you have not used them for a while or have had an incident that has caused a loss of confidence. There are several advanced driving methods that we can teach any driver to help them develop better skills, improve their planning and observations, overcome overtaking worries, and maintain the correct speed for entering and exiting. Once you have some extra training under your belt, you will realise that there are many driving aspects you never encountered while passing your driving test. We deliver motorway confidence courses for many newly qualified drivers to ensure that their motoring career gets off to a safe start.
Rural Roads – Set in beautiful Somerset, Bath is surrounded by glorious rural roads with picturesque villages, but is also sadly littered with hundreds of accident sites on the minor roads. Driving confidently on rural roads is essential, especially if you’re accustomed to a more urban environment. In the towns, you have many signs and directions, with good lighting, but there are very few of these in the countryside, and this is where drivers come to harm.
Urban Training – Bath is a bustling city that remains vibrant all year round, boasting a thriving tourist economy. Over the years, the amount of traffic has increased, and many new routes have been established to facilitate better flow in inner urban areas. The A36 will enable you to skirt around Bath, but it has many confusing junctions and multilane traffic light systems. Many accidents appear to occur at junctions, where speed may be slower, but is still chaotic. Much of the centre of Bath is either pedestrianised or has one-way systems, which can cause problems such as busy roads, rush-hour traffic, and congestion for cyclists. Being more aware of your surroundings when driving by using your mirrors and indicators proactively, and learning how to predict the actions of other road users, can significantly reduce urban accidents.
During a session, we typically look at:
* Forward planning and observation
* Speed Awareness
* Developing a positive attitude towards safer driving
* How to become a safer driver on all roads
* Car or van control (gears, steering, foot controls, signals)
* Rules of the road
* Dealing with road rage
* Reversing and manoeuvres
* Dealing with adverse weather
* Town and urban defensive driving
* Driving in heavy traffic and allowing adequate space
* Skid control theory and learning what causes skids
* Eco-safe driving (effective use of speed, gears, planning)
* Anticipation – Learning to see and not just look
* Understanding other road users and their intentions
