Teach your kids to drive.

Top tip!

It might seem obvious - but you must stay calm when you are teaching your kids... Angry words and fights can easily lead to accidents. 
It's probable that you are close (emotionally) to the person you are supervising (son, daughter, wife, husband, etc.) and so will want them to do well. 
This caring approach can often cause frustration when you see them struggling with something that you feel should be easy.
Often problems are caused by being in the wrong place - above all pay attention to the route planning advice on this page.
Remembering some of the problems you had as a learner will help. Alternatively, swap places and go home.

How to check if your driving instructor is Approved or NOT...

Your instructor must be Approved or Licenced ...

Approved Driving InstructorApproved Driving Instructors (ADI's) have passed a tough examination in order to demonstrate their skills. They are also checked and graded regularly. 
Fully qualified instructors display a green badge in the windscreen. 
Grading can be A or B - both are acceptable but A is a higher standard. Some instructors get a C grade, this means that they were unsatisfactory on their last check and are awaiting a re-assessment - these instructors are under review and risk having their tuition licences revoked. 
Instructors are issued with a certificate which shows their grade, they should be happy to show this if asked.
Licenced instructors are in the final stages of training and qualification. These instructors have undergone a minimum required PDI Licenced Driving Instructortraining programme and but have not yet passed the final qualifying examination. 
Licenced instructors display a pink badge in the windscreen. 
While Licenced Instructors are expert drivers and have learned the basic teaching skills, they have less than six months experience in the job. Although Licenced Instructors lack experience, they are invariably enthusiastic and have been trained to the latest standards.
Your instructor's photograph will be displayed on the rear of the pink or green badges (just like on passport photos, they might look like convicts!).
Some instructors will have further qualifications such as special advanced driving certificates, teaching diplomas and even industry related degrees. Generally speaking, better qualified and experienced instructors will offer better value (although the might charge a bit more), however, take note of the warning advice below. 

Legal Stuff

DVSAIt is illegal for anyone who is not an Approved or Licenced driving instructor to charge a fee for driving tuition.
In addition, the instructor must, by law, display his/her certificate in the windscreen during lessons.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Fear of driving test in Milton Keynes
Dealing with driving test nerves is the last thing you want on your big day. There are a number of different ways to allay your fear of driving test. One of which is called Neuro linguistic Programming (NLP). During the appointment you will learn how to create a new, healthier reality for yourself that does not include a fear of driving test. Neuro linguistic Programming may minimize, if not completely eliminate a fear of driving test. Another very effective treatment is cognitive hypnotherapy. This may allow you to re-programme your subconscious mind, where your irrational fears reside. You learn to relax and replace that fear of driving test with healthy, positive thoughts, and you will find that your fear of driving test is greatly relieved, and maybe even completely gone. You’re nervous enough about passing the driving test; but being prepared is the number one thing you can do to calm your nerves. Remember though you aren’t going to feel 100% relaxed. After all, you’re driving a big machine and you need to be alert. But there are a few things you can do to feel a little calmer and alleviate your fear of driving test.
Besides practicing, one of the best ways to calm your fear of driving test nerves is to visualise you taking the test and being successful. Your mind is a very powerful thing, and if you can see yourself doing well, your mind will believe that you have already taken your test and passed. So you’ll go into your test feeling confidant, sure of success, and prepared both mentally and physically. Whereas a fear of driving test is likely to lead to negative thoughts.

Being Calm and Relaxed is likely to alleviate your fear of driving test

Driving instructors agree that the most important thing you can do to be ready to pass your test is to be relaxed and confident.
If you want to be relaxed and confident on the day and overcome your fear of driving test call 01908 265410 to arrange an appointment or just for more information.
