I am a qualified DVSA ADI since 1995, I hold ambulance and emergency response qualifications, and I am a registered pass plus instructor.

 

I am available for learner driving (In your own car - Cumbria west coast) prices start at £25 p/h

 

I can do pass plus courses, which normally save you more money on your insurance than the course costs, either in you own car , or in my 210bhp vRS (pictured below)

 

 

NOTE: You MUST provide your own insurance for this, easily available for 24 hours via specialist websites like this one https://www.tempcover.com

 

pass plus courses are covered in one day , and start from £150 depending on location and vehicle used, I am willing to travel further to complete pass plus courses, if you are willing to pay my costs.

 

I can offer advanced driving, on many levels, from simply being a safer driver with better awareness, commentary driving, to advanced driving , based on the police road craft handbook. Again, this must be in your own vehicle, unless you provide your own insurance for my vRS. If you are looking for emergency response training, we can only go so far , (advanced overtaking etc) as NO exemptions are allowed to be taken unless we are in an appropriate vehicle (emergency services vehicle, etc) , so all theory and practical would have to be within current highway laws.

 

I have also previously been on the ORDIT register, as I used to train driving instructors. I can still do instructor training, if that's what you require. Parts 1, 2 and 3. (again, in your own car)

 

in summary, driving instruction of all kinds available

 

Thanks for your time.

What kind of driving qualification's would police welcome in an interview,and take on board?

Any extra qualifications would be useful in an interview (anything is!) , but to be honest, if you are taken on as an officer, they will provide all the training needed....(I was trained by a police instructor for my response driving, and he was brilliant!) it is pretty difficult though, and some people are "average" drivers that will never make the grade, if you already have any kind of advanced driving qualification, you will probably be ok... If you have any doubts, I would suggest a 2 hour assessment , to grade the level of your skill and ability to learn. When I was qualifying for the ambulance service, no -one was dropped for failing any medical training, but several people were dropped for failing the driving! Any doubts etc, just PM for a chat.

If you mean you are applying to become 'vrsFuZZ' best of luck with your application  . I would like to think that ignoring the fact it could be taken as a basic indicator as to suitability for Police driving a lot further down the line. It may have the added character benefit of someone mature and responsible to have made the effort at their own expense to increase their own driving competence, where the vast majority do not bother or feel the need. 

I have been thinking of a career in police,being ex military and close protection.and the odd security job.I'd stand a good chance...but if i did i'd like to go into the traffic side of thing's.

And having a few driving qualification's would hopefully put me in that catergory.Instead of working from the bottom up.Not that i wouldn't mind.It will show them that's the way i'd like to head anyway's.

I have done driving course's before but none are recognised as qualification's in this country,more scenario's.

I work for the police now, but I'm civilian staff

An update to this, next month I start work as a Dvsa driving examiner, and this means I have to hand in my instructors licence ( conflict of interest) so I won't be able to teach anyone anymore. Mods, you can leave the post up if you wish, there is some advice on here and I am happy to keep answering questions:)

SR- son ( 36) is in process of getting a licence. I've suggested Pass Plus +adding any old person ( me suggested ) with 50 years clean licence /massive NCB ,to get his premiums down. Car - old T  reg KA .i can't think of any more ways to reduce his premiums . Can you ?

some young people are finding the "black box" systems are cost effective.... it may also help him as a new driver, to stick to speed limits etc. worth a look? Pass plus is always a good idea anyway
