About Me

I worked as a Driving Examiner in Northern Ireland and since leaving the examiners job I have worked as a driving instructor for the past 10 years. As you would expect having been a driving examiner, I have a first time and overall pass rate well above the Northern Ireland average. So I can give you all the help and advice you need to learn to drive and to pass your driving test. It is also important that you learn the correct driving skills to keep you safe throughout your driving career. You will be pleased to know that regardless of what some people say, the skills needed for safe driving and those needed to pass the test are exactly the same.

I carry out the following training
Lessons for those starting from scratch with no previous driving experience.
Training for those with some previous experience or who have had lessons before.
Intensive courses for those who want to learn at a faster pace.
Initial training in the safety of a duel controlled car for those who will learn at home.
Test preparation for those who have learnt to drive at home.
Test preparation for those have to retake the test after a number of years.
Help for those who have had lessons but are having difficulty passing the test and want another opinion.
Mock test as part of your own test preparation or on behalf of other instructors
Training for the extended driving test (Belfast based)
Post test or post R plate training

All lessons will be in a fully insured car fitted with dual controls for your safety and peace of mind. Your lesson will be based on a minimum of one full hour and will be an individual driving lesson. So you need have no concerns about another pupil in the back during your lesson.

Things to look out for when choosing an instructor
Illegal instruction can be a problem in some areas, if the car is not properly insured and something goes wrong you may not be covered. Remember the driver is responsible for any fines and or points. This is regardless of who owns the vehicle or the fact you only have a provisional license.
Some driving schools use trainee instructors and advertise cheap or short lessons to get work for them. While some trainees can be good, a government report produced for the DSA showed you stand a significantly better chance of passing with a fully qualified instructor.
