Pre-road lessons for anyone 16 and over
If you are going to start your on road lessons in the next few months why not build your confidence and skills with our specially designed course?
The course has been designed for the student who within a short period of time will be having their first on road driving lesson; each lesson is carried out in the safety of a private track and will follow in line with DSA standards.
All training is carried out on the basis of one instructor to two students and each event lasts for 3.5 hours. The common feeling from our driving instructors is that this 3.5 hours of off road training is the equivalent of 10 hours on road training so not only will you get a head start with your on road driving lessons you could even save money.
