Benefits of a Residential Driving Course

Why choose a residential driving course with me?

I offer a unique system of driving tuition in Weston super Mare. You prepare for the course at home by using a manual and video briefs before starting your practical training. Having done this you don't need to spend time in the car getting loads of verbal instruction, you've already covered it, so your time in the car is focused on gaining practical skills for a practical exam. This is why 3 hours with us is usually worth 4 or more hours of traditional teaching methods with other companies, even more if they're not providing one to one training.Several companies offer residential driving courses but many of them operate with more than one learner in the car at a time and you share the driving. Their rational for this is that you can learn from other pupils driving in reality it doubles their hourly income or in some cases trebles it if there are three of you. Yes you can learn from others learning but is it worth losing personal driving hours to do so, I don't think so. Using my system you get the best of both worlds, not only do you get one to one tuition so all the driving time is yours, as part of the learning pack you get before the course there are videos of real pupils taking their driving tuition in Weston super Mare so you can watch and learn at home.

Why choose a residential driving course in another area rather than traditional lessons in an area where you live?

People may choose this route as it can work out a lot cheaper than traditional methods, the Driving Standards Agency say on average (using traditional teaching methods) people take 52 hours of professional tuition and 24 hours of private practice at a cost of around £1,500 to pass their test and this doesn't included residential costs, this is more expensive than the residential driving courses that I offer. Some choose it due to time constraints and long term commitment issues. While there are many other individual reasons why people may choose a residential driving course perhaps the main one is that there is a higher success rate when people have chosen the most appropriate course than over traditional weekly driving tuition in Weston super Mare.

What about the accommodation?

The course prices quoted on the prices page of this site include basic accommodation, i.e. Bed and Breakfast in one of our many local guest houses. When booking it may be possible to upgrade from this if you wish. However if you are looking to combine a holiday with your driving tuition in Weston Super Mare and are bringing a friend/partner and are sharing accommodation this may reduce the accommodation price to you as an individual. I make the accommodation booking on your behalf after your test booking is made ensuring good quality.

My preferred accommodation provider is the Saxonia Guest House, of whom I have only had excellent reports back from my pupils both on the quality of the accommodation and the service of the owners Jon and Sandie. There is a link to their website on the right of this page.

Residential driving tuition in Weston super Mare can be structured to your specific needs as all my intensive and semi intensive courses in Weston super Mare are. You choose how many two hour sessions you want to take in a day up to three and if you want any days off between lesson days. Obviously it is often impractical to do a driving assessment if you don't live locally so we will discuss over the phone what you have covered to date and base an estimate of the number of sessions of driving tuition in Weston super Mare you will need on this estimate.

What is there to do between lessons?

You can't be taking driving tuition in Weston super Mare all the time day and night so it's important there are other facilities available. As one of the West Country's top holiday resorts there is a wide range of activities and services in the town and surrounding areas that you can access when you take a residential driving course. You will find all the usual attractions you would associate with a holiday resort within the town centre which is only a matter of yards from the beach. There is a wide variety of restaurants which cater for all tastes and whether you want to relax in a hotel lounge of an evening or enjoy the livelier atmosphere of one of the night clubs the choice is yours. I would remind you however if you are taking driving tuition in Weston Super Mare the following day to take care with the alcohol. Further afield there are good bus links to Bristol, Cheddar and Wells as well as Brean where you can find a major out door amusement park. There is a large leisure centre which offers a variety of sporting activities, if you're combining your residential driving course with a holiday you could also avail yourself of several golf courses in the area (please let me know when booking if you want to include golf and I will book an appropriate accommodation location).
