You can study 24/7, at your own pace, with support available whenever you need it.

In addition, you’ll be assigned a dedicated Part 1 specialist tutor, who will guide you through your training, provide support, answer questions, and help keep you on track throughout this stage.
Once you’ve passed Part 1, it’s time to focus on your driving ability. You’ll receive 8 hours of in-car training, delivered on a 2-to-1 basis through our tailored Buddy System.
Our buddy system is based on a 2-to-1 training approach, where you share your in-car sessions with another trainee at a similar stage in their journey. Learning alongside a training buddy helps you see different driving styles, share experiences, and gain valuable insight from each other’s progress. You may work with different buddies at various stages of your training to keep your development dynamic, interactive, and confidence-building.
Training with a buddy means you can observe different approaches, learn from each other’s strengths, and stay motivated throughout the programme - creating a more engaging and effective learning experience.
Alongside your in-car training, you’ll also complete a dedicated video course and a series of interactive online quizzes. These resources reinforce your practical learning, sharpen your technical knowledge and help you fully prepare for your DVSA Part 2 test.
You’ll also have access to optional live online classroom sessions to help you refine your technique. We’ll prepare you thoroughly for the DVSA Part 2 test, ensuring you meet the high standard required to become a driving instructor.

Each session includes a maximum of 25 trainees, allowing for excellent engagement, personalised feedback, and the opportunity to learn from real discussions and shared experiences.
You’ll also receive 20 hours of in-car training, delivered on a 2-to-1 basis through our tailored Buddy System. At this stage, you’ll be paired potentially with a new buddy to best support your development for instructional training. This ensures you continue to benefit from structured peer learning, fresh perspectives and shared experiences, all of which help you prepare effectively for the DVSA instructional ability test.
This tailored approach creates a unique training dynamic that builds confidence, accelerates development, and gives you the best possible chance of success.
Once you’ve passed Part 2, you’ll speak with our Trainee Licence Coordinator, who will guide you through the process of getting on the road.
