Step 3:The driving tuition/ DSA TestThe success of our training is based on individual attention at all times; tuition is carried out on a one-to-one basis, by qualified instructors. (Two-to-one training is available on request). Our instructors have a great deal of experience in the field of driver training and logistics, they will observe every aspect of your driving technique and correcting faults where necessary. Reversing exercises are conducted at our local manoeuvring area. Tuition is normally carried out in 4 sessions (E.g. 8 am to 12pm or 12:30 to 16:30. We recommend that tuition is taken as a ‘block’ course e.g. Monday to Friday, but if this is not possible, we can tailor the lessons to suit you.
