A Reputation Built on Results.
Access Instructor Training is one of the most premier independently owned driving Instructor-Training establishments in the Midlands. All our Instructors Trainers are: Department of Transport approved. Institute of advanced motorist. Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. Cardington grade A Instructors. Driving Instructors Association. We also abide by the Driving Standards Agency Code of Conduct. This means we are governed by a strict set of rules covering the quality of our trainers, facilities, methods and materials. We operate an equal opportunities policy and are committed to providing you, whatever your sex, race or ability (provided you can fulfil the legal requirements), with the best quality personalised training possible in an informal, friendly manner.
Opening the Door to Success
Study at your own pace in your local area, tried and tested modern, straightforward training consistently leads to success for trainees of all ages and abilities. Once Access Instructor Training accepts you, you then begin a logical, structured training programme on a one to one basis with your trainer, who will stay with you for the entire course. Some trainees complete the course very quickly, but you may choose to study at a more measured pace - we can help you plan your studies to take into account your outside commitments like the needs of your children or an existing job. All the way through, you will be taught and supported by your trainer who will be totally committed to your success. Our training staffs are amongst the highest-trained and best qualified in the UK.
Commitment
If you think driving instruction is for you but you are not sure whether your driving is up to standard, don't worry! It is your attitude, communication skills, and approach towards people that matters most to us. However, legally you must have held a full car licence for a minimum of 4 years and be able to read a vehicle number plate from at least 90 feet/27.5 metres. (If you are wear glasses or contact lens you can wear them for the test.) If you have points on your licence, the Driving Standards Agency has the discretion to decide whether or not this will affect your application; each case is taken individually. (Full details of all the legal requirements are covered in this brochure). Providing you can fulfil these simple requirements and pass a short practical driving assessment, you could be on your way to fulfilling your ambition.
You're in Control
Fast track or take your time and train part-time. Flexible courses for students of all abilities. Guaranteed job placement scheme or help with planning your own business.

The Road
Our training programme is designed to merge with the Driving Standards Agency's three-part exam. You must pass each stage before moving on to the next. You can take the Part 1 test as many times as you need to, although most people pass first time, and you can have up to three attempts at passing Parts 2 and 3. Your Trainer will advise you when you are ready for the exam thus giving you the best chance of passing. We'll do all we can to make sure you pass!
Because we treat our students as individuals, we might ask you to repeat a section of the course, set you homework, give you extra training material or ask you to practice certain skills. We do this in your interest, to help you get the most out of your training and give you the highest chance of passing all three parts.
Your course is planned around your ability, everyday commitments and the test dates. From the time you pass the first Part 1 exam you then have up to two years to pass Part 3.
Part 1 / The Beginning
Complete home study course:
| Workbooks, modules of self-assessment material for home study. | ||
| All reading and reference material needed. | ||
| Mock test to make sure you are absolutely ready. | ||
| Full tutor back up. | ||
The Test
Takes place at a Driving Standards Agency examination centre, usually in a major town or city, and consists of 100 multiple choice questions on subjects including:
1. Road procedure.
2. Car control.
3. Basic mechanical knowledge.
4. Highway Code.
5. Instruction techniques.
The subjects are arranged into four bands, each with an 80% pass mark. The overall pass mark for Part 1 is 85%.
You are given 1 1/4 hours
to complete the test but most people finish early. Best of all nearly all
our students pass first time!
Part 2 / Turning the Corner
You get in-car training to totally fit in with your requirements, on average 10 to 15 hours is adequate to bring a candidates driving up to standard. Mock test scenario, plus final test preparation. In between the in-car training, you should practice and adopt Part 2 style as your normal way of driving.
The Drive
A Driving Standards Agency
Supervising Examiner conducts the driving and eyesight test. The test will
be conducted at a test centre local to your home and is approximately an hour
long. You are expected to drive in a business-like, disciplined manner along
a varied route showing your ability to manoeuvre and control the car safely.
Part 3
In preparation for the final test, Part 3 is where we teach you how to teach others, and again we give you as much support and help with the course work as we can to maximise your chances of success.
The Last Lap
In-car training, this includes extensive role-play by your trainer to prepare you for the many scenarios the examiner could play. You will receive in-car training to totally fit in with your requirements, on average 30 to 40 hours is adequate to bring a candidates knowledge up to part three standard.
The Finish Line
Takes place in-car and
is approximately one hour long, split into two stages and consists of two role
playing exercises. Your examiner will paint a word picture for you, describing
what kind of pupil he or she will be playing, for example what experience he
or she has. You then teach the examiner whilst in the car. This test is designed
to mirror a real life driving lesson. This is the most demanding part of the
overall exam procedure The examiner will give
you a brief before hand, selecting any of the following subjects of instruction.

,will vary from school to school and also through out the year.
