We offer:

A rewarding career
Teaching people how to drive is a rewarding and interesting career and most instructors are self-employed with a great deal of flexibility over their work. It's not for everyone though. You need good technical, teaching, and people skills. Just being able to drive well isn't enough! The three-part qualifying process is quite a long and challenging journey. To successfully complete the process you will need top quality training.

Quality equals success
TopGear is owned and run by Danny and Bev Harrison. The School of Motoring started in 1992 and has become the largest driver training business in south Cumbria. Success has been built on the quality of the instructors who have been trained by Danny to his high standards.

Over the years Danny has also trained many ADIs across the North-West and has a 90% success rate, far higher than the national average. Unlike many other trainers he is regularly assessed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) at the highest grade 6, and is included on the Official Register or Driving Instructor Trainers (ORDIT), your guarantee of quality training.

Tailored training wherever you're starting
Danny often helps people let down by the large ADI 'factories', providing the real individual training needed so that they can achieve their goal of becoming an Approved Driving Instructor. Or you may just be considering starting the journey to a new career. Whatever your starting point, we will discuss your needs and tailor the training to suit.

Can you answer YES to these questions?

1. Have you held a full UK or EU licence for 3.5 out of the last 6 years ?

2. Can you read a normal size number plate from 27.5 metres (90 ft)?

3. Have you less than 6 penalty points on your licence ?

4. Are you a Fit and Proper person ie. have not got a Criminal Record?

Give Bev a call today on 01229 584497 and start making that dream a reality!

Flexible logistics and great value

Working with you to devise the best approach and providing what you need rather than a fixed package. This means great value and no wasted time. Our rates are competitive and you can pay in installments as you go, rather than having to find the whole cost up front. Training is 1-to-1, although for some elements there can be useful benefits in doing some work alongside another person, but this is optional and agreed with you beforehand.

Making it happen
The first step on the road to success is to contact Bev Harrison and discuss how we can help you. Bev will arrange an Assessment Session with Danny. There is no pressure and you can find out exactly what's involved before making any commitment to a programme of training. Danny will be able to see where you're starting from and agree with you the next steps.
