Why should I undertake and Advanced Course?

Quite simple - we can all learn more and improve our skills. Driving is something we take for granted and usually, nothing goes wrong. When it does though, we need to be in a position to give ourselves the best chance to deal with it. That is what our training is about - giving you time to react.

 Why should we chose MDD

All our tutors are on the DSA register as qualified driving instructors. They are all handpicked and interviewed in depth, have their credentials checked, and only the best make are allowed to deliver training for MDD
Unlike other trainers, we insist all our tutors have passed the RoSPA Advanced Test at Silver grade or above, and have passed the IAM test and are on the DSA Fleet register and hold a minimum grade 5.
