Our Learning Notes

Our lead instructor, Mike has written extensively researched notes on every, scenario, subject, skill and area of theory we cover in the car during your learning journey. Sometimes, when learning, what we discuss in the car can be forgotten when we have so much to remember. Some students struggle to drive and listen, some struggle to remember information communicated verbally, so we provide detailed notes to recap our learning, allowing you to refer to and reference in the future. 

​

"My notes put all that we learn into simple to understand terms, and include rules, guidance and advice. I aim to disprove myths, clarify what can be a complex area, and make clear what could be easily confusing."  - Mike Allsopp ADI

​

Our easy to read notes are shared through our Number 8+ student hub - available to all our students. I will share links via our app so you can bookmark and visit them again. 

​

Our students often comment they like to clarify their learning using the notes, and them provide a source of reference for the visualisation techniques we learn together, allowing you to practice routines and procedures whenever you have a free moment. 

Your lesson summaries

After every lesson (sometimes at the end of the day if time is tight) we take the time to personally write your your lesson summary - accessible through the app, covering what we set out to achieve, what we encountered, what learning took place, and how we did that. We summarise what went well, what needs work on, and what todays achievement was. We also set out what the next lesson may cover and what the skills are that need working on in private practice, or visualisation. It provides a nice reminder before next lesson what we did last time and what we might cover this week. 

 

"We like to be honest with your progress and to identify each lessons 'wins', even though you might have felt it didnt go as great as it could - remember we learn through mistakes, so mistakes are good we use each and every one as a learning opportunity." - Mike Allsopp ADI

Our Car

Students love our easy to drive learner car. The VW T-Cross R-Line is based upon the VW Polo, and is smaller than it may first appear. It elevated driving position allows superb views of the road ahead, junctions, traffic and hazards. It has a number of safety features that make driving it a pleasure, we get lots of comments from students and DVSA examiners on how smooth and comfortable it is. 

​

We have kitted out our vehicles with the latest equipment to teach you to the highest standard, using the latest technology. We look after our vehicles with no expense spared, your learner car will always be well prepared, clean, tidy, and always santised between students. We are often commended by examiners on the level of cleanliness, and standard of preparation (even our engine bay).

 

"Our car represents our school - professional, well prepared, and outstanding quality. We take pride presenting you with the best tool to learn to drive - you are the only missing piece in the puzzle."  - Mike Allsopp ADI
