I believe that every individual deserves the best support to help them achieve the highest standards that they possibly can in all that they do. So I have gone out of my way to gain an array of qualifications that best help me to support others in their driving and life’s journey.

Your driver training course has been developed over decades by Marcus McCarthy: a DIAmond Advanced Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)

Is a previous Mansfield Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) Driver of the Year (achieved early on in my aspiring career)

Has a BA Honours in Health & Community Studies (Sheffield Hallam University)

My mission is to expediently provide clients with competitively priced total driving courses whilst promoting a lifetime of safe and enjoyable driving. Welcome to my comprehensive car driver training programme which is designed to ensure learners develop their driving as a lifelong skill.  A driving course needs to set you up for more than simply passing the Driver and Vehicle Standard Agency's (DVSA's) driving test.  Instruction needs to provide preparation for many years of driving where, at times, you will experience very complicated and testing traffic situations that must be handled skilfully and considerately.  Further, driver training is not just important for getting about efficiently and safely but is also useful for the positive development of attitudes to life and learning in general.

With the right eco-friendly approach to driving, life will be preserved, the environment protected and expense minimised.  The advantage of a driving course is that topic areas can be covered systematically and progress monitored more effectively.  Problem areas can be easily identified and remedied.  This driving course is designed to teach you at a brisk, though comfortable, pace while taking into account your individual needs and abilities.  A courteous and understanding approach will be adopted throughout to help you relax and enjoy learning to drive.  Your instructor understands that learning to drive best takes place in a stress free environment and will ensure that learning is enjoyable.

When your theory test is passed; and the relevant lesson plans and topic sections have all been well covered – you will need to gain full independence in all aspects of driving – you will naturally be encouraged to take your practical driving test.  There is all the more reason to have structured lessons with the national pass rate average being around 50%.  The well organised and easy to understand design of my flexible training programme has helped clients to achieve much better pass rates than the national average.  Typically 70 to 80% (with 100% passing, of those going through the full course, by the second attempt, at least for the last decade or so):

    2010 - 83%

    2011 - 90%

    2012 - 70%

    2013 - 74%

    2014 - 100%

    2015 - 80%

    2016 onwards - 70% to 80%

    2025 - ?     I will give a precise figure again for this year’s first time pass rate at the year’s end.  With it I plan to give a detailed explanation of how and why it was achieved.
