Learning Stages & Structured Syllabus

Professionally Delivered

Professional instructors always use a structured syllabus which is well structured to take you through a well thought out learning experience. Continue reading to understand our course stages and syllabus.

Learning Stages

Car Control Skills

Before you can navigate road systems you must be fully in control of your vehicle. Being in total control of the vehicle is what gives you the confidence to move out onto different road systems. You will master all ancillary controls, steering and foot controls in the earlier hours of your training.

Road Skills

You will learn the theory of each new road system before practicing for real. An example is: starting with simple junctions and small roundabouts. Then moving onto country roads. Finishing with dual carriageways and major roundabouts.  There are many other road types covered. Near the end of your training you will cover all major test areas.

Traffic Skills

As you near your driving test date we will move you into heavier traffic situations to build up your overall awareness and confidence levels. Dealing with heavy traffic is only done after the previous two stages are completed.
