Kudos Driver Training
Driving Lessons With An Experienced Instructor

Mike Joyce successfully completed the full thirty years of service as a police officer before retiring and setting up his own business. He was a Police Advanced Driver for over twenty-five years and drove thousands of miles responding to emergencies on 'blues & twos'.

He performed many roles including being the senior police manager in charge of the police driving school - responsible for training and accrediting police officers to drive all types of police vehicles in all circumstances, including responding to emergencies and during pursuits.

Over the span of his career he also investigated hundreds of collisions. These ranged from simple 'damage only' collisions, as a uniformed police constable, to more serious and complex 'death or serious injury' crashes as a Detective Inspector.

Mike's police experience enables him to truly understand the dangers of the road and that just passing a driving test does not make someone a good driver.

He wants to share his knowledge and skills to help drivers to always be careful and considerate, to maximise their safety and minimise the risk of them being involved in a crash.

To compliment this, he is a fully trained, qualified and registered driving instructor (ADI). He trained at the prestigious Bill Plant Driving Instructor Academy (the largest in the United Kingdom) and with Ian Daniels who was one of most qualified and experienced instructors in the country (both for standard driving and advanced driving) before becoming an examiner.

Mike’s promise is that Kudos Driver Trainer will provide much more that the bare essentials needed to just pass a driving test - and it will be enjoyable!

Driving Packages and Pricing Plans

Government research shows that the average learner needs sixty-seven hours of driving experience to be at the required standard to pass their driving test - this includes forty-seven hours of lessons with a professional instructor.

Balancing this with our acceptance that everyone learns at different rates, we offer a range of packages to enable you to plan your driver training accordingly. Single lessons are available but block bookings offer additional benefits and better value (from under £36 per hour*).

The research shows that the average time taken to pass the practical test is fourteen months but to reduce this we advocate 'double lessons' and also offer intensive driving courses.

Block bookings (the Silver, Gold and Platinum packages) include additional concessions, such as Full Access to the Theory Test Pro website, and can be used to secure regular time slots, e.g. the same time/day each week, or an intensive driving course.

Kudos Driving Training - Payment Options

Bronze - 'Pay as you go' lessons at the standard rate.

Silver, Gold and Platinum - block bookings

As the size of the block booking increases so do the savings and benefits.

Subsequent lessons can be bought as 'top-ups' at the relevant discounted rate.

Bronze - Single Bookings

This is the basic 'Pay As You Learn' option where the each lesson is booked individually and charged at the standard rate.

Bronze bookings are ideal for just a few hours, for example, a couple of refresher lessons, a mock test, specialised training like motorways, etc.

Massive savings can be made by making a block booking (Silver, Gold or Platinum) so we recommend considering them before opting for a Bronze booking.

The standard price is

Single Lesson (1 hr) - £46.50

Extended Lesson (1 1/2 hrs) - £70
