completed a 3 hour speed awareness course with instructor AJ McK. this instructor made the course not only bareable, but enjoyable. learnt a lot and recapped on a lot of driving rules and regulations. thank you!

I attended a speed awareness course with Drivetech yesterday and was genuinely surprised at how good it was. At no point did I feel judged for my offence, which made a big difference to how comfortable I felt taking part.

Our instructor Tony MC delivered the course really well. He kept everyone engaged, explained things clearly, and added just the right amount of humour to keep it interesting. The whole session was informative and easy to follow, and it definitely exceeded my expectations.

One small piece of feedback I would have is, during our group exercise on emotions and how they affect driving, we were asked what we would personally do to avoid those situations. While this was very useful, some of it didn’t directly apply to me, so I found myself overthinking my answer a bit. I think it could be even more impactful if attendees were able to reflect on their own offence specifically. For example, discussing why it happened and what they would do differently next time with input from the group. Especially when each offence is based on each individuals circumstances. I understand that might not always be possible due to personal preference or privacy, but it could add an extra layer of relevance.

Overall though, it was a really positive experience and I’m genuinely glad I chose this company. I’d absolutely recommend the course to others. Thank you again Tony MC 😊

This course was very well presented, the two trainers made it informative and kept it interesting with great humour added.
Far better than I had anticipated.
Will remember some very useful tips for careful driving in future.

The course covers important and driver-relevant subjects delivered in a friendly manner and interaction with the attendees keeps everyone interested and invested in the discussions

A very useful, informative course delivered in an interesting , friendly way. Glad I chose this.

The speed awareness course was actually really good. The trainer (Anna) was personable, knowledgeable and professional. She wasn’t in anyway judgemental or patronising. The time went quickly and it was actually great to have a refresher after nearly 20 years of driving. I’d recommend it to anyone who feels they’re becoming a complacent driver or who recently been caught speeding.

The instructor made the course enjoyable and very informative

Professional course leaders clear and precise very informative and friendly

At first, I thought it would be boring. But our instructor Urminde was incredibly informative and fun. They paid individual attention to everyone attending the course and gave helpful advice. Thank you very much.

I enjoyed the course. John Gouldbourne presented it well. No recriminations, just useful information. I'm sure many people need a refresher course on these things, after years of driving. I used my iPhone, but it was slightly difficult to see the photographs and videos. Use something bigger, if you can.

When I went to course I was not expecting much. I was happily surprised that I really enjoyed it if that's the right thing to say but it really made me think about things and a great refresher for things I had forgotten. The trainers added a touch of humour which always helps and weren't judgemental just there to help.

On line offer, so the minimum amount of upheaval. The course was well run professional, non judgmental and informative. It will definitely impact my driving in future. All drivers should have to do these courses every 5-10 years.

skilled friendly trainers well compiled course

It’s well worth the time and money. A good reminder of the importance of being a safe driver. The statistics on road deaths/ injuries presented were staggering. But I came away with good strategies on how to not be distracted when driving. It was also good to be reminded of the Highway Code!

Highly professional well organised with great prepared course content. But the main thing is the course leader who managed to engage, bond and run a productive and useful session with humour and professionalism.
No stigma attached to being obliged to take the course. In fact I learned some new things and was pleased to be refreshed on other elements, and now Im a more considerate driver.

Everything went according to plan. The venue was excellent and the trainers were very experienced and conducted the course professionally. (Tom and Mario)
The course was conducted with humour at the same time being very thorough. All questions were answered explicitly and I was happy to take on board what I was being made aware of. All aspects of the course were explained and questions were encouraged by both trainers. One of the biggest issues raised at the start of the meeting was the advent of 20mph speed limits.
It was explained that since its inception, road accidents and deaths have reduced wherever the system has been introduced. Overall, I actually enjoyed the course and made me more aware of potential hazards, road signs other road users.
Could have done with a slightly longer lunch break (10 mins was not enough) but apart from that it was very worthwhile.

It was good to be able to complete the course at home, to fit around other commitments. The instructions for joining online were detailed. The instructor was friendly and engaging, and involved everyone. It was useful to refresh our knowledge of the Highway Code, different road types and speed limits. Seeing the difference 1mph makes to stopping distance will definitely help me to drive more slowly.

This was a superbly delivered course, very well explain, insightful and very eye opening in many ways. I enjoyed the experience and the manor in which it was delivered. I am determined not to allow my speed to creep in the future and will continue to use my car technology even more. People may think this will be 3 hours never to be recovered, you will be very wrong, this was 3 hours well spent and a much better option to 3 points with no additional knowledge to help you become more aware. It is more than a refresher as cars and technology have moved on a lot since many of us sat our driving tests.

The Presenters/ Trainers made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed so that the flow of the course was great. The Only One Negative I have that was at the course I attend at the Hogs Back Hotel, is the projector screen,( whilst quite large ) was lacking in contrast and some of the road signs could not be clearly seen. One of the presenter's who was standing by the screen could not seen one of the signs clearly. Either the room needs to be a darker or the Projection system need adjusting. Apart from that. Really worth it. Just my feedback...........

Nick was very nice and friendly. Not judgemental at all and made us feel comfortable.
