James Driver Training

Let's get you on the road to 1st time success with driving lessons

Covid - 19

Precautions

I'm James Houghton, I've been a fully qualified DVSA driving instructor for over 13 years and as a Grade A (highest Government grade) driving instructor in the Droylsden Area, my structured training courses help people of all ages & exp

With James Driver Training You get ALL of this.......

Driving assessments

Useful for those who've had lessons before & want an assessment of how close they are to being test ready.

Driver training progress pack

As we work through topics, the Student & I agree a grade for thier performance in that area. This ensures time on future sessions isnt waisted working on areas they've already mastered. The progress packs also helps ;

Breaks lessons down into small, easy to understand topics.

Keeps lessons very focused, all the way to your test. Makes learning to drive easier.
Allows you to pinpoint areas that need special attention and improvement.

You keep the pack and bring it to every lesson, allowing you to review areas for improvement before each session or just to show others how you are progressing.

Help with the Theory Test

I support each student as much as they need, helping with both the multiple choice question & Hazard perception video clips. Some students only require assistance with odd questions & others need much more intensive assistance. I use extensive training aids & even hazard perception video apps for practice.

Lesson lengths to suit your learning needs

Training sessions can be 1, 1.5 or 2hrs long, whichever suits the trainees needs.

Flexible pick up/drop off points

Students can be picked up or dropped off at college, home or other locations.

Mock driving tests

Once students have mastered the DVSA driving sylalabus we start undergoing mock practical driving tests to fully prepare students for their tests.

Traininig Car

Dual controlled peugeot 208 1.6HDI Blue with adjustable seat height & steering to make the car confortable to drive for people of all heights.

In car training video cameras

During driver training in car video can be useful to help students quickly see for themselves problems they have missed when driving. It enables students to quickly understand what went wrong without having to endlessly repeat the junction/situation hoping to recreate it.

Gift Certificates available

James Driver Training Gift certificates are available for any number of hours required.
