Course Overview

Our Defensive Courses are designed to deliver the maximum benefit to each delegate
while achieving the objectives set by your company. We take a "mentoring" approach to our training, coaching rather
than teaching, advising rather than instructing. The day starts with an overview of the objectives and expectations of the
day together with a discussion on their driving experience. This is followed by vehicle checks and then an assessment
drive. We will then agree more structured objectives with each delegate and the training experience will begin. The last stage
is the final assessment drive followed by a discussion on the day's activities when final reports are completed and certification
awarded where achieved.
Remedial courses for persistent offenders or for nervous or traumatised drivers follow
the same core approach but the focus is then on their reasons for attending the course and reporting will reflect
specific development in the target areas.
