Advanced Skills Events

Looking for the next challenge? Fancy trying something new? Our Advanced Skills Days are the ultimate next step to a Young Driver lesson. Drivers who’ve had a few lessons with us can now go faster, learn greater vehicle control and develop a range of new motoring skills.

Learn to drive at speeds of up to 70mph on a simulated motorway, practice the life saving "brake and avoid" techniques taught to police drivers and try your hand at advanced driving activities – all on the actual training grounds where front line emergency services staff practice their driving skills!
