Driving lessons  

Monitoring progress

It is crucial that your driving lessons are closely monitored from the outset. We use a unique system that allows us to assess your progress lesson by lesson. Our two page chart is completed with yourself at the end of every lesson, this closely resembles the areas of your driving that the examiner is looking at on the day of your test.

Many pupils come to us from other instructors totally demoralised because they do not know how they are doing from week to week. Their instructor drops them at home and says something like "you`re doing Ok - see you next week!" Unfortunately you should be paying for a service much better than that. Sometimes this is the downside of taking the cheaper option. The old saying is true - you get what you pay for!

At the end of every lesson we give you an overall rating towards test standard - never will you be in doubt as to your progress.
