Derek Birch Driving Instructor

If you are paying for someone to teach you to drive, they MUST, by law, be approved and registered with the Driving Standards Agency. A fully qualified instructor will display a GREEN certificate on the windscreen. Instructors displaying a PINK certificate are trainees - Is your instructor qualified ?

To qualify, instructors must pass a rigorous three part test of driving theory, driving ability and instructional ability. The pass rate on part three is less than 30%! It is estimated that out of every 100 who start the training only 5 qualify.

I am a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor, registered with the Driving Standards Agency. I have extensive experience as a trainer and hold the Adult & Further Education Teacher's Certificate. I also have a current enhanced clearance certificate from the Criminal Records Bureau.

I am patient, reliable and friendly, and especially welcome nervous students-believe me, you can do it!

I operate in the area of Devizes, Marlborough, Trowbridge and surrounding villages.

Driving lessons will be tailored to suit your individual learning needs; this means moving at your pace. Of course, some will progress quicker than others, but you will all get there!

Help and advice will be given during the course of normal lessons to prepare you for the Theory and Hazard Perception tests. Extra tuition can be arranged if required.

Please feel free, if you have any questions regarding leaning to drive, to call for a no obligations informal chat when I would be pleased to discuss any aspects of driving instruction with you.
