About Access Driving Tuition
lesson time.
Q: Can I do Intensive
lessons?
A: At Access Driving
Tuition we do what is referred to as a Semi-Intensive Driving
Course. This is where the pupil has an Assessment
Driving Lessons to see how many Driving Lessons
would be required to reach test standard, and providing the Theory
Test has been passed by the pupil we can book the Driving
Test then the pupil puts in the Driving lessons
running up to the test. Because there is usually a waiting time from booking
the test to taking the Driving Test, probably 3/4 weeks,
Semi-Intensives are a little less demanding than a full blown
Intensive.You can also take advantage of the block booking
discount if doing a Semi-Intensive. If a Semi-Intensive
is the route you want to go then you need to book an Assessment Driving
Lesson. If you still want the full blown Intensive Driving
Course over a 3 / 5 or 10 day period, which are ideal if you just
want to get it done and out the way, then please visit our sister Website
by clicking on the Link Access
Direct (Leicestershire's No 1 Intensive Course Specialists).
Either way you will be well looked after and on the road in no time.
Q:
Can I be picked up and dropped off in a different
place?
A: Yes, this is not a problem.
Q: Are the Instructors
friendly and patient?
A: Yes, it is one of the
main qualities we look for and insist upon before recruiting a new Driving
Instructor. We not only want You to learn to Drive quickly and safely, we
want You to enjoy Your Driving Lessons.
Q:
Do
your Driving Instructors smoke?
A: The simple answer is
no. As I am sure You are aware it is now illegal to smoke in ones work place,
i.e. no Driving Instructor is allowed to smoke in their school
car. Whether Instructing a pupil or not Access Diving Tuition has long had
a no smoking policy prior to the ban.
Q:
Do
you offer a guaranteed pass?
A: I know some Driving
schools offer this, but basically No I can't guarantee your going
to pass your Driving Test, because anything can happen on
the day of Your Driving Test, nerves can be a factor and no matter how good
we train You ultimately its down to you. To guarantee some one will pass their
test opens up the system to abuse, some Driving schools may
inflate their Driving lesson price's to higher than normal
to cover the cost of a retest in case you fail, some may give you more lessons
than you need to make sure you pass, at your expense. Personally Access
Driving Tuition prefers to give you the right amount of Driving
Lessons to do the Job at right price.
Q:
How
many Driving Lessons will I need?
A: I am asked this question
more than any other and it is always the hardest one to answer. How many Driving
Lessons you will need depends on many factors, your experience, age,
working back ground, even your attitude. I have known people only take 8 Driving
Lessons and then some people take 80 Driving Lessons.
The Driving Standards Agency which is the governing body which conducts the
Driving Test say it is about 45 hours for a new Driver, but
as I said there are a lot of factors which will reduce this. At Access
Driving Tuition we will try to get you to reach
Driving Test standard in the minimum amount of safe Driving
Lessons, this not only reduce's your tuition cost, but it improves
Access Driving Tuition's Reputation.
Q:
Do
you do trailer towing lessons / tuition?
A: Yes
we do, please call for details.
Thank You I hope we have answered most of your questions, if not please do not hesitate to contact us.
Access Driving Tuition was established over 15 years ago. We wanted to give people the chance to have Driving Lessons in Leicestershire from Local Driving Instructors and have Driving Lessons at competitive rates. The aim was to build a Driving School which would bridge the gap between the solitary one man band offering Driving Lessons once a week, and the large national Driving Schools which offered Driving Lessons at a more expensive rate, so we aimed to offer high caliber professional Driving Lessons at a reasonable price but still keep the personal one to one approach with our pupils throughout their Driving experience.
To achieve this goal of providing quality Driving Lessons and Driving Tuition we realized our strength lay mainly with the quality of the Driving Instructor so right from the beginning we set out to recruit only the highest quality Driving Instructors. Driving Instructors who not only excelled in their ability to teach people to Drive, but they also needed to have a proven track record of getting their pupils through their Driving Test, the vast majority being the first time. We also looked for patients, I believe Access Driving Tuition has not only the best Driving Instructors but also the most patient ones in the area. Also a smart and tidy appearance is important and last but not least we looked for those Driving Instructors who have very high communication skills, Driving Instructors who are able to put the message across without complicated jargon.
We aimed to give top quality Driving Lessons and Driving Tuition, this we have achieved as throughout the years our reputation has grown and we can now offer Local Driving Instructors in Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough, Coalville, Driving Lessons in Lutterworth, Driving Lessons in Oakham, Driving Lessons in Melton and Driving Lessons in Ashby. In fact Access Driving Tuition now offer Driving Lessons to the whole of Leicestershire using only Local Driving Instructors.
Even as we have grown we have maintained a very high standard. We only have quality Driving Instructors and they are all Local to the area's in which they give Driving Lessons.
To some people having Driving Lessons is quite easy, where as others can be very nervous just at the thought of booking a Driving Lesson. So we employ highly trained staff to answer the telephones, nothing is more off putting once you get the confidence to call a Driving School to talk about Driving Lessons is to either get an answer machine or the person you speak to is actually out teaching a pupil on their Driving Lessons. We feel beginning Driving Lessons is a very important decisions and we want you to be able to speak to someone about your Driving Lessons and to get the information you require without feeling pressurised into having to book a Driving Lessons. Our staff are always there to help with what ever question you have, whether your enquiring about Driving Lessons or are already having Driving Lessons with us.
The Tuition vehicle you will use for your Driving Lessons will always be of the highest specification. All our Driving School cars are fitted with dual controls for your safety. The Driving School cars also include power steering, abs, air con, fully adjustable seat and fully adjustable steering wheel. These added extra's not only make your Driving Lessons more enjoyable and comfortable but will in fact help increase the chance of you passing your Driving Test first time.
Our aim for the future is to continue with the high quality of Driving Lessons we already provide, to be competitively priced with our Driving Lessons and never lose that personal touch. We will continue to have only the Best Driving Instructors so you receive Driving Lessons that are constructive, informative, enjoyable and give you the Best possible chance of passing your Driving Test first time.

Below you will find information and general advice on passing Your Driving Theory Test.
First of all I would like to answer the common questions about the Driving Theory Test.
Your Theory Test is taken at a different test centre to Your Practical Test.
The address for the Driving Theory Test Centre for Leicestershire
is
DSA Theory Test Centre
Leicester
Rutland centre (Office Suite 3A 3rd Floor)
56 Halford Street
Leicester
Leicestershire
LE1 1TQ
There are two parts of the Driving Theory Test, the multipule choice question part and the Hazard Perception part
Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works.
You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.
Please try not to worry about understanding what to do, the staff at the test centres are very helpful and will explain everything clearly.
Multiple choice
The multiple choice question part consists of 50 questions. Associated with each question is a list of potential answers. You need to select the correct answer or answers, by touching the appropriate area of the computer screen.( Please see image below).
You
can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come
back to later in the test. You will be given 57 minutes to complete the test.The
pass mark is 43 out of 50. After
the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes
before the Hazard Perception part starts.
Part two
Hazard Perception
After the break you'll then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the Hazard Perception part works.The Hazard Perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. You'll be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there'll be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.To achieve a high score you'll need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five.You won't be able to review your answers to the Hazard Perception test; as on the road, you'll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.
Pass mark for the car Hazard Perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75.
When you have finished the test you may leave the examination room. Once you have left the room, you'll not be allowed to enter it again. Not that you would want to.You will then be given your result by the test centre staff.
If you study and prepare for the test You should be ok, if you need any help or advice please call us we will be happy to help.
You'll
be expected to show both parts of your valid driving licence (the photocard
and the paper counterpart) at the test centre. If you have an old-style licence
without a photo you must also bring a valid passport. If you do not show the
required documents they will not let you take the test and you'll lose your
fee.

Good Luck.
Ok, Your Practical Driving Test. This is what You've possibly been planning for and training towards for some time. We know Your going to be nervous about taking Your Practical Driving Test and we know what it means to You. We know it's not just about being able to drive a car. It's about independence, not having to keep having to ask for lifts every where ,relying on other people to take You place's and no more catching that bus. It's about freedom, being able to go where You want, when You want. It's about You having control over Your Life.
At Access Driving Tuition our Driving Instructors appreciate this. Thats why over the period of time You have been taking lessons with Access Driving Tuition our aim will have been working towards this point of getting You through Your Driving Test.
You must drive in a confident manner. To pass your driving test you need to drive without making any serious or dangerous faults and no more than 15 minor faults during a drive of about 40 minutes. The examiner will require you to undertake two of the following manoeuvres and optionally the emergency stop:
Reverse
parking behind a parked car or into a parking bay.
Reversing round a corner to either the left or right.
Turn in the road.
During
the test the examiner will tell you in good time which way to go. If you go
the wrong way do not panic, the examiner is testing your ability to drive
not your ability to follow directions. It is better to go the wrong way correctly
than to go the right way incorrectly.
If at any time you are unsure what the examiner requires, do not hesitate to check what he or she wants; the examiner appreciates that you may be nervous and will be happy to repeat or clarify any instructions given.
Try not to turn the Exaimer in to a mystical monster ( not a bad one anyway) he is not there to fail You, but to assess if You can drive competently.
Some Tips to Passing Your Driving Test

Good Luck.
You,
your family and other road users will benefit from
the safety aspect of you being an advanced driver.
The two main organisations offering Advanced Driving Tests, The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), both plan their driving techniques on a book entitled "Roadcraft" this is also the book with which our highly qualified motorway police adopt.
Access Driving Tuition advance driving instructors,
All have passed the:
I.A.M advanced driving test.
RoSPA advanced driving test to Gold standard or
Cardington special A test. (Only available to A.D.I.s)
Access Advanced Driving Instructor Trainers (AADIT) can give you useful training in preparation for one of the tests. Access Advanced Instructors are fully qualified Driving Instructors and will have passed the Advanced Driving Tests to the highest level.
The Tests
Your examiner will be a current or ex Advanced Police driver .who will have been trained to the highest available standard in the country. The test is conducted in a professional manner, but a very friendly approach is taken by the examiners who will put you at ease in no time.
On the I.A.M Advanced Driving test there is just one pass standard. You receive verbal feedback at the end of the test. If you continue your annual subscription you retain your official status indefinitely. The RoSPA Advanced Driving test is graded Gold, Silver or Bronze standard, or Ungraded. You receive verbal feedback at the end of your test, and a written report subsequently. To retain your official status you have to take retests at intervals - after 3 years if you pass at Gold or Silver and after 1 year if you pass at Bronze. There is an annual membership subscription to both oragnisations.
Both I.A.M Advanced Driving Test and RoSPA Advanced Driving Test are of similar format, a 90 minute drive on a variety of town and country roads and, where possible, a motorway section. Before starting, you will be asked to run through a vehicle safety check. Shortly after moving away, you will need to test the brakes. Your driving should be smooth, safe, progressive, controlled, efficient and sympathetic of the car. Your manner should be calm and courteous. You will need to demonstrate good awareness, anticipation, and concentration throughout the drive. You will be asked to perform some slow manoeuvres, and to answer some questions relating to the Highway Code and vehicle maintenance. During your drive you will be given the option of delivering a commentary, which could enhance the result or the grade. At the end of the test, you will be given your result, and receive feedback about the drive.
After passing either the I.A.M Advanced Driving Test or the RoSPA Advanced Driving Test you can then enjoy the benefits of membership, depending on which organisation you took your test with. Personally I would take both tests.
Above all enjoy your Advanced Driving Training and Test, be proud of Your Driving.
| The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) The I.A.M is a wholly independent, non profit-making organisation with the aims of improving driving standards, promoting road safety and providing an Advanced Driving Test. |
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, Advanced Drivers Association (RoSPA) RoSPA's objective is the reduction of road accidents by encouraging interest in road safety and, by improving driving standards, knowledge and skill |

Areas Covered
Job satisfaction
I would rate this as one of the highest reasons, but one you only truly discover when you have become a Trained Driving Instructor. To know you have been a key figure in Training someone to pass their Driving Test and to actually be there when they pass, almost makes it worth while in Training to be a Driving Instructor in it's self.
You work the hours You Want
Obviously
within reason, this is a supply and demand industry, but generally
being a Driving Instructor allows a great deal of flexibility
in the hours you work. You might choose to work around family or social commitments
or even work part time – the choice is yours! It's
nice just to be able to take an afternoon off to go to your child's school
play.
Previous experience, qualifications not required
This is one of the few industry's that do not require formal qualifications. However the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) requires that anyone wishing to Train as a Driving Instructor has no more than 6 penalty points on their licence, have held a valid full UK licence for at least 3.5 years and meet the physical criteria required to safely control a vehicle.
You will need though, good people skills, a competent driving ability, the commitment to Train hard to become a Driving Instructor, also a good communication manner, sense of humor is a must and finally sometimes the patients of a Saint.
Earnings potential
Once you have Trained to be a Driving Instructor your potential earnings are down to you. The amount of hours you are willing to Train pupils, the price you charge for your Driving lessons etc. Do your sums carefully do not believe all the hype you see advertised and most of all remember there are expenses once you have Trained to be a Driving Instructor, do not forget to take these out of your calculations.
Some Instructors say, if your a good Driving Instructor you will make a good wage, if your a poor Driving Instructor you will make a poor wage.
So
I guess the question You need to ask your self is which one do I want to be?
So who are we !
Access is a family run firm that has been trading successfully for 15 years in the Leaner market and the Driving Instructor Training Industry. We have excelled in both fields. Our main strengths are our teaching techniques and the personal one to one approach towards our Trainee Driving Instructors. No where throughout the Industry In Training Driving Instructors will you find a Team that will be more committed to Your success.
Our Reputation is Built on Results
Our Driving Instructor Trainers excel in every sphere of Driving Instructor Training. Teaching, Attitude, Commitment, Aptitude and their ability to get You through your tests. Because that, at the end of the day is what your paying for.
All our Instructors Trainers are:
We also believe in straight talking, We will tell You like it is, ( polity) below is the process of becoming a Trained Driving Instructor, again I have tried to give you the facts in plain English.
Your In Control
Study at your own pace in your local area, tried and tested modern, straight forward training consistently leads to success for trainees of all ages and abilities. If You decide to train with Access Instructor Training you then begin a logical, structured training program 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. If you think Driving Instruction is for you but you are not sure whether your driving is up to standard, don't worry! If you want an assessment please call us, but It is your attitude, communication skills and approach that matters most.
Overview
Our training is designed to merge with the Driving Standards Agency's three-part exam. It makes common sense to me to complete and pass each exam in turn before moving on to the training for the next one. Please let me explain this a little more. You have to take the 3 exams in turn. The exam waiting times vary, but don't quote me on this. Exam 1 you could book a date quite quickly, say 2/3 weeks, exam 2 on average about 8 weeks, exam 3 this is the biggy could be any where from a week to 12 weeks. Don't believe me? call the Driving Standards Agency and ask them when their earlist test date for a part 3 is. Anyway my point is your success rate will increase ten fold if you spread Your training out. Why do all 3 parts of Your training in 2 weeks before You have even taken an Exam. Surely it makes more sense to train leading up to each exam, or maybe I'm old fashioned.
You can take the Part 1 test as many times as you need to, or as many times you want to chuck £60.00 odd at it. Although most people do pass first time. You do not need to be in a class room, we have used a home study course successfully for years. If you need a class room or a teacher for part 1, well maybe this is not for you. Once You pass Part 1 the clock starts ticking, you have 2 years from this point to pass the final 2 exams. Plenty of time ( you think ). You can have up to three attempts at passing Parts 2 and 3 and then your out. In the unlikely event you did fail parts 2 or 3 three times you would have to wait 2 years from when you passed your part 1 to start again.
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!
.......
.............................................
Part One / Theory Exam
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 Exam is computer based, a very similar set up to the theory test learners have to do, obliviously more and harder questions, saying that though most of the questions if you have been driving for a while are common sense. You will need to study though for the ones that are not.
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! I have never known anyone training with us ultimately not to pass this. The harsh truth is though if you couldn't pass this, you would have had no chance at part 3 anyway.
The
easiest of all 3 test.
Part 2 / Driving ability Exam
You get in-car training to totally fit in with your requirements, on average 10 to 15 hours is more than adequate to bring a candidates driving up to standard. Mock test scenario, plus final test preparation. In between the in-car training, you Must practice and adopt Part 2 style as your normal way of driving. If you don't You will Fail.
A
Driving Standards Agency Supervising Examiner conducts the driving and eyesight
test. The test 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.
There is no comparison between this test and Your original learner test, apart from they are both in a car. The maximum minor faults you are allowed to make is 6. This is an advanced driving test and needs the commitment it deserves. The good news is with Access Instructor Training 90% of our Trainees pass 1st time 4% 2nd 1% 3rd no one as ever struck out on this Exam with us. Now that's impressive, over a 15 year period.
Again if Your still apprehensive about your driving, give us a call we will give you a free assessment as long as you travel to us.
Part 3 / The teaching Exam.
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 maximize your chances of success. The prior Instructor Training you have received and the Exams you have passed were mere stepping stones to this final phase.
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. I have taught Trainee Driving Instructors in a lot less time than this and also a lot more time than this. It really depends on Your communication skills.
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
Spending more than a couple of hours in a class room Instructor Training for this exam is a waste of time. Your training needs to be 99 % in car on a one to one ratio.
The
examiner will give you a brief before hand, selecting any of the following
subjects of instruction.
| Phase 1 Beginner Partly Trained | Phase 2 Trained |
| 1. Controls. | Crossroads. |
| 2. Moving off / Stopping. | Meet cross overtake. |
| 3 Turn in the road. | Turning left or right. |
| 4 Reversing. | Emerging. |
| 5 Emergency stop. | Progress / Hesitancy. |
| 6 Pedestrian crossings. | Reverse parking. |
| 7 Turning left or right corners. | Pedestrian crossing. |
| 8 Emerging. | Meet cross overtake. |
| 9 Crossroads. | Pedestrians crossing |
| 10 Meet cross overtake. | Progress / Hesitancy. |
When you pass, you become a fully Qualified Driving Instructor. In 15 years I could name the Trainees that have failed with us, unfortunately it was all for the same reasons. They did not maintain their training.
