A driving instructor training course especially designed with the customer in mind.

Topclass driving instructor training

Any driving instructor training course should take into account the requirements of the tests that need to be taken and the goals and needs of the potential instructor.

At Topclass driving school our ethos has always been and will always be your success is our success. We have a vested interest in your future and to us you are not just another number! No two people are the same and as such there is no such thing as a one size fits all training course.

We treat you as an individual and will train you according to your own personal strengths and weaknesses. You will receive our very best customer service along with the total dedication to help you reach your goal of qualifying as a confident and successful driving instructor.

The ultimate training course

The “Ultimate Training Course” has been constantly tweaked and tested and is specifically designed to suit YOUR requirements not ours. We offer a personal 1-1 service throughout the course and will be with you every step of the way, from your first assessment drive, right through to the day you qualify.

It’s for this reason we can only accept a small number of trainees in the program at one time. Our strategy has always been to offer quality for a few rather than conveyor belt training for many.

As a local business we have an advantage the nationals will never have, we live and operate on your doorstep. You can train at your own pace and around your current work commitments and benefit from unique local knowledge that will be invaluable when you start working in the local area.

You will receive help and assistance at every step of the qualifying process and we will remain on hand with career guidance, business advice and personal development once you have become a fully qualified driving Instructor.

On commencing the training course, if you find it’s not for you we will remove all the risk and offer a refund at any time and for any reason.

The course must be completed within the guidelines set out by the DVSA which currently is a two year period from the date you are accepted onto the register of driving instructors.

How do Topclass run there Courses?

You will receive plenty of help in preparation for your part one test. You will receive our full support and guidance on how to study using the part 1 study guide, recommended books, and DVD. In-car training will help bring your theory to life and build a foundation in preparation for parts 2 and 3. A detailed knowledge of the theory is essential for a successful career as an instructor.

For part two, you benefit from 14 hours of 1-1 driving tuition which will place you in the top 1% of drivers in the country. You may have a lot of driving experience but over the years will probably have developed some bad driving habits. A lot of driving techniques have changed over the years and you will need to be brought up-to-date.

Many training organisations follow too closely to the DVSA’s minimum requirement of 40 hours part 3 training. With Topclass you’ll benefit from 50 hours of Instructor training and this is where one-to-one training really makes a difference. Sharing a car with other trainees is not a good move. You could be dividing your valuable training time by three, rather than maximising your own. You need, and will receive, our full attention.
