Scottish driving courses ideal for nervous students Professional individual coaching

Travel Scotland

Be inspired & tavel to beautiful Perth in Scotland for an intensive driving course. Learning to drive in rural Perthshire Scotland can be a more relaxing experience than learning to drive in a large city. The roads in general can have less traffic on them especially on your first few driving lessons when you really would like complete isolation, that is not always possible, but it's the next best thing.
The Scottish driving school specialises in training learner drivers to become very safe confident drivers for life. Passing a driving test is relatively straight forward if you follow the simple step by step methods developed and fine tuned over the years, by myself, to help even the most nervous of drivers become safe, confident drivers.

Driving a car does not have to be a stressful process unless you make it so. Learning to drive in Perth Scotland is by far the best place in the UK you can learn to drive in. You will find it easier to stay focused if you join one of my residential courses, where you can be away from your normal day to day activities. Travel to Scotand and you will see some of the most beautiful scenery there is. All intensive courses are given in rural Perthshire, amongst some stunning scenery, friendly people and light traffic.

You might prefer to learn to drive in 'Bonnie' Dundee along the river Tay. Two of the Dundee driving test routes take you along riverside drive, right next to the river Tay (not that you will be looking at the river on your test, but you know it's there giving you positive energy and confidence in your ability to drive safely.)

Travelling to Scotland has never been easier, whether its by train, bus or air. Hotel & B&B accommodation is plentiful.

You can easily travel to Scotland from most parts of the UK & overseas. People have travelled to Scotland to learn to drive on intensive driving courses from Australia, Canada, Spain, France, South America, India & USA.

Travel to Scotland Perth

When you travel to Scotland you have a choice of intensive driving courses you can take & locations. Courses are run in Perth, Dundee or Blairgowrie.
Perth courses are run all the year round & are centred around the Perth driving test area for town driving practice & rural Perthshire roads for general practice.
Should you live local to Perth you can be met at your home. Students travelling to Perth daily for their course will be met at Perth train station (just opposte the bus station for those travelling by bus) the train station is easier for parking. Students who are on residential intensive driving courses will be met at their hotel.

Perth driving test centre is located just outside of the town centre in a residential area & is within easy reach of rural roads & the main A9 dual carriageway which is part of the possible test routes. The Perth test centre is not purpose built & does not have its own car park, therefore there is no bay parking requirement for your driving test.

Travel to Scotland Dundee

When you travel to Scotland for your intensive driving course you can experience the beauty of Dundee called the 'City of Discovery' named after captain Scott of the Antartics ship which is moored in Discovery Point, which is also a visiters centre. Students who travel to Dundee daily for their driving lessons will be met at Dundee train station which is opposite this famous ship.

New learner drivers will be taken from 'Discovery Point' to some very quiet roads where they can concentrate on learning to drive. From their your driver training programme will take you through some extremly beautiful rural roads & along a beautiful stretch of road called Riverside drive, which runs next to the river Tay & Tay bridges. As you progress more with your driving course you will be confident enough to navigate through moderate Dundee traffic. On your intensive driving course in Dundee you will be able to have plenty of practice on all types of roads as there is a good selection in the Dundee area.

Dundee is located on a quiet industrial estate just on the outskirts of Dundee. The driving test centre is purpose built & bay parking is a task you might be asked to carry out on your driving test.

Travel to Scotland - Blairgowrie

When you travel to Blairgowrie for your intensive driving course, you will have arrived at one of the most beuitiful places to learn to drive. Blairgowrie is a small town which can get quite crowded, especially when its the fruit picking season but the surrounding roads are very quiet, ideal for new learner drivers.

Unfortuantely the Blairgowrie driving test centre was closed during December 2009. The nearest test centres are now either Dundee or Perth, both are approximately 20 odd miles away. Blairgowrie though would be a great place to start you off on your driving career before spending your final lessons at either Perth or Dundee. On your course you will drive eventually to Perth & Dundee to see which one you prefer to take your driving test in.

Getting to Blairgowrie you will require you to first of all to go to either Perth or Dundee train or bus stations & then catch a local bus to Blairgowrie. When you book into a Blairgowrie hotel for a weeks residential intensive driving course I can meet you at either Perth or Dundee & I will take you to your hotel.

Residential courses

Residential & local courses are available all year round in Perth, Dundee or Blairgowrie. Residential courses help to keep you focused whilst you are away from your normal daily routine.

New driver weekend courses

New drivers (beginners) are advised to start their driver training by having as many driving lessons as they can over a short period of time. This will help re-inforce the correct procedures for driving away fom the kerb, parking, gear changing & road procedures. A theory test pass is not required for this type of course. An intensive driving course for new drivers is not intended to get you through your test in a week. Those days have long since gone and if you see any websites out there that say any different, then treat them with suspician. You will learn to drive over a few weekend courses, but you may not be ready for your driving test.

Previous driving lessons experience

Learner drivers with previous driving experience can sometimes book their driving test at the end of their driving course depending on what previous experience they have had and how long ago.
Your driving lessons may have been sometime ago & taken with a great driving instructor or one of the not so greats. You may have taken a driving test or two or had over 100 driving lessons of poor quality either yours through lack of concentration or your driving instructors lack of attention to your training. Either way, you might be best to book a trial lesson with me before you book your driving test. A trial lesson is not required to book your course unless a driving test is required at the end of your course. Learner drivers with a good driving record of training might only need to book one of the weekend courses.
