About Brian
Experienced Instructor Trainer

Entered on the DVSA Official Register of Driving Instructor Trainers (ORDIT) in 2011 & 2019, Brian has over 23 years of instructor experience and an ongoing commitment to Continual Professional & Personal Development — having trained over 150 driving instructors throughout his career.

Brian still teaches learner drivers, meaning part of your instructor training includes watching and learning from real lessons with Brian teaching a variety of learners. His modern coaching approach with up-to-date methods and industry-leading qualifications means instructors and learners tend to learn at a much better and quicker pace based on their individual learning style.

Brian has a very high success rate with PDI Pt1, Pt2 & Pt3 test passes, as well as great success with 'rescue training' for PDIs on their final attempt at Pt2 and Pt3.
