ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR...

I am a fully qualified Grade A Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor.

This means I have achieved the highest grade, of which currently only 29% of instructors in the UK have reached. Also, I am one of very few instructors in Cornwall that has taken

the 'Cardington Special Test' for instructors and passed with an A grade. I am currently studying for my BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching for Driver Education. Coaching others has always been my passion and road safety has become paramount to my profession. I don't just teach people to pass their test but I teach a skill for life. Being a member of the Driving Instructors Association (DIA) and signed to the DSA's Voluntary Code of Conduct you can be assured of professional tuition but also in a fun and enjoyable environment. It gives me great pleasure to teach today's new young drivers safe driving for life and to get them through their driving test. Since 2017 I am excited to be the only instructor in west Cornwall to be able to offer the opportunity gain recognised BTEC qualifications accredited by Pearson/Edexcel, while learning to drive. I am also a member of CAADI (Cornwall Association of Approved Driving Instructors.)

Very few jobs give you the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference to peoples lives as well as making a worthy contribution to the national ambition of changing attitudes towards driving and road safety. I feel proud to be part of this.

I ALWAYS KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE VERY LATEST IN THE INDUSTRY AS WELL AS MY OWN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - AS A DRIVER AND A TRAINER YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING

I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU SOON
