About Rob
Welcome to my website. I am a self employed DSA Approved Driving Instructor and DSA Fleet Registered Trainer. I
do fleet training for a few of the larger fleet training providers where I deliver defensive driving courses to company
vehicle users. I have over 25 years experience in driver and instructor training and I believe in providing a quality
service. I always want my clients to enjoy their training and to develop their skills to a higher standard. Apart from
running my defensive driving courses, which are aimed at any full licence holder, I also work as a driving instructor
trainer, training people to become driving instructors and preparing them for the ADI part 1, 2 and 3 qualifying
examinations.

I started my driver training career in 1984 and spent my early years teaching learner drivers. After a few years I began
to do some instructor training helping to prepare PDI’s for their ADI qualifying examinations and have continued to do
so over the years with considerable success including working full time for one of the UK’s largest driver training
organisations.

In the early 1990’s I got involved in advanced driver training and have worked as a fleet trainer for some of the main
fleet  training companies on a freelance basis. Apart from fleet training, I have also worked as an instructor on
National Driver Improvement Schemes for a couple of councils. NDIS is a defensive driving course for drivers who
have the prospect of getting points put on their driving licence for driving offences such as driving without due care
and attention. By attending such a course, they can keep the points off their driving licence.

I have recent experience in working in the Middle East where I have worked as a defensive driver trainer in Qatar
delivering power point presentations and on road defensive driver training in a variety of vehicles from cars to buses.
In Oman, I worked as a Petrol Development Oman (PDO) driver assessor / trainer where I worked in a team
assessing drivers working on PDO projects. Whilst in Oman, I also trained a few of the Omani driving instructors to
deliver advanced driving courses.

In the past, I have also worked as a bus and coach driver in the UK and hold a full manual PCV (category D) licence
and have used my experiences in delivering driver training in such vehicles preparing clients for the PCV driving test.
