We strive for our on-road sessions to be informative and helpful, at the same time as being enjoyable and fun – after all, we want you to learn new skills and techniques.

Drivetech offers a range of on-road courses for maximum impact on driver safety and performance. Our courses reinforce the fact drivers not only need to possess the knowledge and skills for driving, but also the ability to self-evaluate how life and work issues can cause a change in their driver behaviour and increase personal risk.
