Eastham School of Motoring
Established in 1980 as the Eastham School of Motoring, we aim to offer personalised and affordable driver training from weekly lessons to intensive courses for all age groups in modern dual controlled cars. We have a proven record of successful driving test 'passes', and positive and safer, life-time driving experiences for all our clients. Our vehicles all meet DSA training vehicle standards, are dual controlled, have a range of seating and steering adjustments to maximise comfort, control and visibility. Our training vehicles are fully insured for clients and for DSA Examiners when on driving test, with an option from our insurers to offer discounted premiums to our clients when they come to insure their own vehicles.
We serve most areas of the Wirral, including Neston, Willaston, and Ellesmere Port. We provide comprehensive training for learner drivers through to passing the 'driving test', with motorway, refresher courses, parking practice, and pass plus courses available once you have passed. We offer professional, patient and friendly driving lessons, with some of the most competitive tuition rates in the Wirral areas, with further discounts available for block bookings, and students. We will provide you with the knowledge, expertise, and positive driving attitudes that will enable you to pass both the theory/hazard perception test, and the practical on-road test, and to prepare you for the challenges of driving after the test.
We cater for people of all ages and abilities, including mobility clients, and welcome nervous or anxious pupils. We make a point of treating all our clients as individuals, so rest assured that as far as possible all your needs will be catered for, with driving lesson content, pick-up and drop-off points, tailored to suit your needs and requirements. For example, we can save you time and money by arranging to pick you up for your lesson from home, work, college, or a local station, and drop you off in a different location if necessary.
We have developed our 'L' driver training programmes further, by offering theory and hazard perception training and on-road preparation for the DSA theory and practical driving tests including 'independent driving', and 'Pass Plus' for newly qualified drivers. We can also provide retraining courses for traffic offenders, and preparation for the DSA extended test following disqualification, and the retesting for 'totting up' offenders under the 'New Driver Regulations'. If you have any questions, please free to Contact us.
Refresher Courses
This is aimed at the driver who for various reasons, may not have driven for some time. We frequently receive requests from ex-clients and members of the public for refresher sessions e.g they may have taken time out from driving to attend university or further education, not had a car to drive, new to the area and need to find their way about, preparing for a job interview/new job with a company car provided, or for those who would like further guidance and advice in certain areas e.g. motorways, roundabouts, multi lane junctions, parking, for learning a new route to work, college, or university, or just to visit friends or relatives in an unfamiliar town or city.
UK Familiarisation Courses
New to driving in the UK, or just returned to the UK after a period of residency abroad? This course is ideal if you have learnt to drive in another country, and do not feel confident about driving in the UK. You may have been driving on the right hand side of the road, or you may be unsure of UK Traffic Rules and Driving conventions. We can help you gain positive safe experiences of driving in the UK, and if necessary assist you in satisfying the conditions for exchanging of your licence to a UK licence, or in preparing you for the differing requirements of the UK Driving Test.
Senior Drivers Courses
This course specifically caterers for drivers who have reached their late 50's, 60's and beyond, and is designed to assist drivers' update and refresh their skills and knowledge. Socio-economic changes such as out of town shopping and supermarket complexes, the move to the suburbs and villages, coupled with the rundown of local buses and train services has had many repercussions. One of which is in the increase in the number of seniors who are now dependent on motor vehicles for most of their out of home activities e.g. shopping, visiting friends and relatives, leisure etc. Senior drivers understandably, are reluctant to renounce the convenience, independence, and relative safety of their vehicles, so will not dispense with their driving licences and cars easily or willingly!
We have the expertise to provide neutral, non-judgemental advice, training and guidance, all designed to help you retain your independence by updating your driving skills. The final thought is best summarised by the words of a recent government report on senior drivers which states that 'ultimately for those who live long enough, no one is immune from the effects of ageing... after all it is only a matter of time until we take on that role - we therefore need to prepare ourselves'.
