With the Cheviot School of Motoring

     Hello, my name is Bob Clark, I qualified as a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor in 1977.  I have passed the driving tests set by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, obtaining a Grade One pass, and the Institute of Advanced Motorists. I have also passed the stringent examination to become a Royal Automobile Club Qualified Driving Instructor, and I am registered with the Driving Standards Agency to provide Pass Plus training.

                                                          

      As you can see from the above I have many years experience in the driver training profession, combined with regular attendence at training seminars, which enables me to teach you the correct driving skills, according to the Driving Standards Agency's recommended syllabus, to help you become a safe and competant driver.

       I also obey the Driving Standards Agency's Code of Practice for Driving Instructors, which is your guarantee of high professional standards and business ethics, a copy of which is given to each pupil.

       I have a calm, relaxed manner as learning to drive can be a nervous experience, especially the first few lessons, and I think a pupil should always enjoy their lessons and be eager for the next one.

        As well as the practical part of driving you will be given help and advice on all aspects of the Theory Test such as the best way to study, when you are ready to sit the test and where to sit it.

                     A few frequently asked questions:

What do I wear for my driving lessons and test?     Anything you feel comfortable wearing, but not dirty work clothes and 'sensible shoes' please, not work boots or stilettoes.

Can I start my driving lesson from college?     You can start and finish your lessons anywhere in South Tyneside.

Will you be using your phone during my driving lesson?    No, my phone will be switched off and I hope yours will be as well!

How many lessons will I need?   It depends on your motivation and aptitude, whether you have driven before, your age, and if you will be getting practice with a friend or relative.

When will I be ready for my test?    I keep accurate records and will be happy to discuss your progress at any time.

What is your Pass Rate?    Between  January 1st. and August 31st. this year, 77% of my pupils who sat their driving test passed first time. (National Average 43%)

When can I take my lessons?    Lessons are available Monday to Friday, from 9.00 in the morning until 8.00 in the evening.

How soon can I start my lessons?   Usually within a week but if you want a specific date, for instance a lesson on your birthday, it's best to phone well in advance.
