Booking
The day's training costs £65 and is open to all 15 to 17 year olds living or in education In Nottinghamshire or out of county.
There are 20 places available in each training session.
If the trainee has any special requirements we would be happy to discuss these and if possible make special arrangements.
Trainees do not need a provisional driving licence as the training will take place away from the public highway.
Benefits
This training is part of our ongoing programme of education for young people in a bid to cut road traffic casualties in the county.
According to research from the Department for Transport, youngsters form their driving attitudes long before they actually get behind the wheel of a car.
By the age of 17, when they can legally drive, they have often picked up bad habits from watching their parents or other people with whom they regularly travel as passengers.
