Driving Instructor Training
The ability to drive is a crucial skill and could be your ticket to independence and freedom. You could be taking driving lessons as you have to commute to work, to pick up your children at school or to simply make it easier to get to where you need to be. You can count on our friendly, professional driving instructors to help you. Your driving instructor will begin with an introduction chat to learn about your driving skills and experience. No need to worry if you’ve never taken driving lessons before as the majority of our customers do not have any prior driving experience. They will then check your provisional driver’s license, perform an eye-check, and then discuss the basics of the car you will be learning in. No one knows Chapel Allerton more than a local driving instructor. Your driving lesson will begin on the back roads of Chapel Allerton, in a quiet area, away from other road users. This will allow you to increase your confidence and improve your driving skills in a quiet setting. The basics of driving, including how to steer and control the clutch, as well as moving off and stopping, will be covered first. You’ll face new challenges as you improve your driving skills. Your instructor will carefully plan each lesson route to ensure you drive through all the junctions, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings with ease. Bad habits are difficult to break, so it’s important that you learn how to drive safely as soon as you start learning to drive. Our driving instructors have the expertise to teach you everything you need to pass your driving test and be safe on the roads. You will benefit from their extensive knowledge and experience in driving and become a safe, confident driver. Your driving instructor will give you a record of your driving progress. Your progress record will include all the topics that you must master in order to drive safely throughout your driving career. These techniques include parallel parking, turning in the road (3 point turn), reverse around corners and emergency stops. This will tell you where you are at the moment and what you need to do to improve.
If you want to pass your driving test quickly, intensive driving lessons are an option. We offer excellent intensive driving lessons in Chapel Allerton and have many instructors who have the knowledge, expertise, and tailored crash courses to help you pass your driving exam quickly. A driving intensive course can be a great way to either start learning to drive, or if you are just wanting to refresh your skills before taking your driving test. Intensive lessons are available in a variety of lengths, from a two-hour daily lesson to consecutive days with back-to-back lessons. Our instructors can be as flexible as you require.
Book an Intensive Driving Course
Even though intensive driving courses in Chapel Allerton can be quite demanding, you may find the results to be well worth it if your goal is to pass your driving test quickly. A driving intensive course is the fastest and most cost-effective way to pass your driving test. Lessons are longer than the standard hourly lesson on an intensive driving course because the course is only spread out over a couple of days or weeks, as opposed to being spread across a few months. A two-day intensive driving class will provide 10 hours of instruction instead of the usual 1 hour per week. People with no driving experience can take longer intensive courses to make sure that you get enough tuition. The DSA recommends that all driving students complete at least 40 hours professional driving tuition before sitting the driving test. An alternative option is to book weekly driving lessons. Although this is a good option, it will take you between 4 and 6 months to complete with one 2 hour lesson every week. If you only book a 1-hour lesson per week it will take you 8 to 12 months. As the lessons are so spread out there’s a good chance that you will spend much of your lesson time repeating the lessons from the week before.
It is not necessarily easier to learn how to drive an automatic car, it all depends on what you are dealing with. It won’t make much of a difference to you if you have a common issue like observation. If you are having difficulty with clutch control or gear changes, learning to drive an automatic will be a lot easier. Driving in urban areas with lots congestion it is easier. Driving in traffic-heavy areas will require you to change gears frequently because of the constant stop-start nature. This can be an issue for experienced drivers as well as those who are learning to drive a manual vehicle. Taking your driving test in an automatic car is easier than driving in a manual car as you do not have the risk of stalling the car and any struggles you have with clutch control. In an automatic car you are able to handle difficult manoeuvres such as a turn in the road or a hill-start easier, which can be daunting for students who drive a manual car, as there are no gears or clutch control to worry about. If you have difficulties with the gears in a manual car, an automatic car may be a better choice. You might find it easier to learn how to drive and pass your driving test.
Is There A Downside To Driving An Automatic Car?
Automatic cars are more costly to purchase, maintain and run than manual cars. This is why automatic driving lessons are more expensive than manual driving lessons. A downside to learning to drive an automatic car is that your license does not qualify you to drive a manual car. However, if you pass your test in a manual car, you will be able to drive both. You may find that passing your test in an automatic car could limit your options for buying or renting a car in the future. Also, if later you decide you would prefer to drive manual cars, then you’ll need to take another driving test. Automatic cars have a lower pass rate than manual cars. However, don’t let this deter you as every year thousands of learners pass their driving tests in automatic cars.
Are you looking for a new challenge or the opportunity to be your own boss. If so then now might be the right time to become a driving instructor in Chapel Allerton.
There is currently a huge backlog of people who want to learn how to drive. This makes it a great time to become a driving instructor. There is no need to have any prior driving instructor experience. The requirements include that you must be 21 or older, have had a driver’s license for at least three years, not had more than five penalty points in the last four years, and want to find a job that gives you the freedom to make your own decisions or earn more money and do something that you always wanted to.
Before you make a start to becoming a driving instructor it is a good idea that you read through the official DVSA guidelines. To become a qualified driving instructor will usually take 12 months. The minimum time it will take to complete your driving instructor training is 6 months, that is if you pass everything on your first attempt, which is highly unlikely.
You must pass three DVSA driving instructor tests to be approved by the DVSA. These tests are difficult to ensure that people who pass the test are ready to teach others how to drive.

Frequency of lessons is really important. The more often you're behind the wheel the better. Between 2 and 4 hours of private lessons per week is recommended. You're also likely to progress more quickly if you have two-hour lessons each time.
The morning of the driving test Shake off your pre-test nerves and make mistakes so you don't repeat them during the test.

The DVLA says that the average time to pass the driving test for people who pass the first time is around 40 hours of lessons with a driving instructor, supplemented by 20 hours of supervised practice with family or friends. In the case of most learners, this takes around four to five months.
You are only allowed to drive automatic cars, and not manuals. However, if you hold a manual licence, then you can also drive automatics. Therefore, the latter is a full licence.
Because automatic cars are usually more expensive to buy, the car insurance premiums tend to be higher. This is to cover the cost of any damage, or the cost of a replacement vehicle. For example, an automatic gearbox is more complex than a manual one and so would usually cost more to replace.
Always apply the parking brake when you are stationary in an automatic car. In P or N, the car will not drive, but the parking brake will keep it still. However, if in any other gear, the car will drive off under power if you touch the accelerator pedal, purposefully or by accident unless you have the brakes on.
Though it will not harm your transmission to shift into Neutral while your vehicle is in motion, the additional wear on your brakes by leaving the transmission in Drive will be negligible over the life of the brake pads.
