Advised To Do An Advanced/Defensive Driving Course?
We offer advanced and defensive driving courses for private individuals across the UK.
We are often approached by individuals who have been advised by their solicitor, or sometimes their insurance company, to take an advanced or defensive driving course. This can be for a range of reasons, which include:
1. Facing a Motoring Conviction – Taking an advanced/defensive driving course can help demonstrate that you are keen to improve your level of driving. While we will never claim an advanced/defensive driving course can influence the outcome of a conviction, taking a course with a genuine motive to become a safer driver and recognise shortcomings in your past driving can be seen in a positive light.
Our team of expert tutors is here to help you. We can quickly arrange a course, often before your hearing date, and then provide a PDF report confirming you have had expert tuition with a DVSA (Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency) approved tutor.
2. Having Had a RTC (Road Traffic Collision) – Often, insurance companies request that you take an advanced/defensive driving course following an RTC. Such a course can boost your confidence and show your insurer that you have taken driver training with a qualified expert.

How a Course Runs:
All our courses are road-based and take place in your own car/van. The course is bespoke and based on the needs of you as a driver, although it follows a set format, which covers the following:
1. An Initial Drive – This allows our tutors to assess your level of experience and skill after the initial introductions and vehicle safety checks. We ask you to drive as you normally would, with no input from the tutor, for around 20 minutes.
We then mark you in 25 areas of driving as Excellent, Very Good, Good, Adequate, or Poor. This forms an excellent basis for the session, as both you and your tutor can see the areas that need the most development. This helps create a truly bespoke training session.
2. Coaching – Based on the initial drive, the coaching will be designed around your needs and requirements in an interactive and enjoyable way. We will drive on a range of roads, including urban driving, out-of-town (rural) driving, and motorways/dual carriageways. During this session, you will have the chance to give two-way feedback, along with opportunities to recap what has been covered.
3. Debrief – At the end of the course, there will be a two-way debrief, where the tutor will provide feedback on the session and where feedback from yourself is also encouraged. The tutor will again mark you on the 25 driving areas covered on the initial drive, making it easy to see how you improved, to what extent, and in which areas.
