METRIC driving school is a well established local driving school business. The business has grown consistently over the past three years. I have lived in Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead for over 20 years and recently moved to Chesham. I have an excellent knowledge of the roads in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding towns including Berkhamsted, Tring, Chesham and Amersham
I am a fully qualified approved driving instructor (ADI) on the register of approved driving instructors held by the Department of Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). As part of my continuous professional development I have successfully passed the DVSA standards check which an ADI must pass every 2-4 years. I attend a leading annual CPD conference to ensure knowledge levels are up to date with the latest industry innovations.
I specialise in teaching new students to drive a manual car. As part of the tuition to pass the driving test, the DVSA syllabus is followed to ensure the student is fully prepared for the practical driving test. The lessons are tailored to meet the students pace of learning with a calm, reassuring and patient approach.
I teach in a modern vehicle fitted with the latest driver safety aids including reversing cameras, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems. Technology is a large part of modern vehicles and my car has a satellite navigation system for students to practice driving to the directions as they may do on their practical test.
There are many skills required to drive and the syllabus will include dual carriageway and motorway driving, night time driving, countryside driving, town centre and rush hour driving and manoeuvres required to pass the practical test. Many of these skills were previously included in Pass Plus programmes at additional costs after passing your test. These skills will be taught as part of your training at no additional cost.
Courses are available for drivers of all ages and experience who wish to refresh their driving skills. This includes driver assessments to build confidence. There are sessions for those who have taken a break from driving, those moving from cities to the countryside and advanced driving techniques to increase anticipation of potential dangerous situations.
The lessons are one hour long, with pupils collected from their location of choice eg school, home address or business premises.
Lessons are priced per hour. Discounts for block bookings. A full lesson fee is charged for cancellation of a lesson with 24 hours of the lesson.
