At the Instructor Academy we pride ourselves that our training is individually designed to meet your needs.

Trainees are assigned a personal tutor, who will remain with them throughout their course. This is to ensure continuity of taining, avoiding the most common complaints we hear from trainees, who transfer from other companies (see the panel on the left).

To eliminate problems like this, we will restrict the numbers of trainees we accept.

Our training isprovided by trainers, all of whom have passed the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) Cardington Special Driving Test. This is only available to Approved Driving Instructors.
