About the Experience
The full day will include a number of skills based workshops to help develop and guide the students into becoming better drivers. As part of this they will receive two sessions behind the wheel, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We expect this to be approximately 15 minutes each.
The workshops will include;
• How to apply for a license, the highway code and the tests you will need to pass
• Hazard Perception
• How to operate a vehicle, and what manoeuvres make up part of the test
• The costs of owning a car
• Vehicle Maintenance
• First Aid
Please note that this pre-driver course is offered for those aged between 15 and 19.
