Our Ethos
Turning Point can provide you with a fully qualified, friendly and professional driving instructor with a commitment to each and every pupil.
At Turning Point we aim to produce confident, safe, considerate drivers who are fully equipped to deal with the demands of increasingly challenging and changing driving conditions on the roads today.We provide support for every stage of your progression towards passing your test and becoming a fully fledged driver.
Whether you are a total beginner, novice or experienced driver (but need your skills refreshing), we can provide the programme that suits you. We work from the DSA approved syllabus utilising the 'Driver's Record' - a document highly recommended for structured learning by the Driving Standards Agency.
We do not use trainee instructors, as is the practice of many franchises, so you can be sure your are getting a fully trained expert. And since we are independent, not part of a franchise school, we are not subject to the pressures of meeting the high costs that some franchises demand from their instructors. As a result, we can pass savings on to you.
Turning Point prides itself on a pupil focussed ethos, our independence allows us flexibility to cater for every individual pupil's needs and ability level on a one to one basis.
Lesson Evaluations
We provide lesson evaluations for each session. This is a brief recap of what went well in the session and what areas need to be targetted next time. This way we can ensure your individual needs are catered for and you can keep track of your progress.
Mock Tests
When you are getting close to your test, we make use of 'mock tests'. Mock tests are used as a diagnostic tool to inform us and you the areas that may need polishing, as well as giving you test experience.
Pass Plus
In addition, at Turning Point we are 'Pass Plus' registered. This means we can offer tuition once you have passed your test that will help you become an even more competent and confident driver - with Pass Plus you even get a discount of up to 25% on some insurance premiums.
