We at Uplands School of Motoring have over 28 years of experience concluded that a training syllabus is by far the best way to teach/learn to drive. Our training syllabus is not rigid. It is flexible in that we encourage our instructors to use their own initiative experience and common sense to plan each lesson according to the pupil's needs/ability.
Driving Lessons Tailored to Each Student
If a new pupil to our school has had some experience of learning to drive whether it be with a parent or another driving school, we spend the first driving lesson making an assessment of their ability. We can then make plans for the following lesson based on what standard they are at and what would be the best part of the training syllabus they should continue from.
