When you’re learning to drive, having the right driving instructor is essential. You will be spending many hours in a car with them and the relationship you have may even determine whether you pass first time or not.


If for any reason you don’t trust your driving instructor, they are not punctual or you don’t feel they are teaching you as well as they should be, then don’t hesitate to change.  After all, it’s your hard earned money being spent on lessons, so you deserve a qualified driving instructor that you feel at ease with.

How to Choose a Good Driving Instructor in Reading

When you’re learning to drive, having the right driving instructor is essential. You will be spending many hours in a car with them and the relationship you have may even determine whether you pass first time or not.


If for any reason you don’t trust your driving instructor, they are not punctual or you don’t feel they are teaching you as well as they should be, then don’t hesitate to change.  After all, it’s your hard earned money being spent on lessons, so you deserve a qualified driving instructor that you feel at ease with.


At Blue School of Motoring, we have years of experience in helping people of all ages learn to drive. And our highly qualified team of driving instructors in Reading is passionate about providing the very best driving lessons.


So whether you’re looking for a driving instructor in Reading or beyond, here is our guide to help you choose a good instructor.


How do you know if your driving instructor is qualified?


In the UK, only DSA (Driving Standards Agency) Approved Driving Instructors (more commonly referred to as ADIs) or DSA licensed driving instructors under training can charge for driving lessons. At Blue, all of our courses are run by fully qualified Reading driving instructors, so you are sure to be in safe hands and receive expert tuition.


It’s easy to see if a Reading driving instructor is qualified by looking in the windscreen of their car. A green octagonal badge can only be displayed by a fully qualified instructor and a pink triangle by an instructor who is still undergoing training.


What other qualifications do driving instructors need to have?


All qualified and training driving instructors are now CRB checked. The DSA have also recently introduced a grading system to improve standards, with 6 being the highest given. All of Blue’s team of Reading based driving instructors naturally fall into the highest grades.


Where should my driving instructor be based?


We would always recommend you choose a local instructor to where you live or work. This makes pickups and drop offs more convenient for you and ensures your instructor knows the roads where you will be taking your test inside out. So if you are based in Reading, you should find a driving instructor working in Reading.


Should I choose an independent instructor?


Some driving instructors are completely freelance and do not work with any motoring school. We would advise whichever option you choose to always speak directly to the instructor, but remember that being affiliated to a good driving school guarantees a high standard and will provide all the support you need.


What else should I look out for?


Driving instructors should be calm and reassuring at all times. You should feel 100% safe with them, develop a good rapport and feel that they are totally in control. This is exactly what our team of driving instructors in Reading aims to do and we guarantee you will be completely satisfied.

Does it really Matter which Driving School You Choose?

So you are looking for a driving school in Reading? Well the first thing you’ll probably have noticed with almost no research at all is just how many driving schools there are in the Reading area. So you have quite a difficult choice to make in deciding which one is right for you.


Put very simply, the driving school you choose does have a huge impact on how quickly you pass your test and how good a driver you will become following the test. So choose wisely.


As with any large decision, you’ll want to do some serious research before signing with one of Reading’s driving schools. One of the best things to do initially is to ask friends and family for local recommendations. It may be that you already know other people learning to drive and you can ask them for honest feedback regarding how the driving school operates. Most driving schools rely heavily on positive recommendations and, let’s be honest, you’re not going to recommend a driving school where the instructors were late for lessons, unfriendly or cut the lessons short. Following that, you could do further research online by reading reviews, looking through local listings and visiting the driving school’s website. The website should contain detailed information about pricing, the experience of their instructors, practical information about the courses offered and even an online booking system to cut admin for you.


Here are a few things to keep in mind when searching for a driving school in Reading:


  • Keep it local. It’s always advisable to learn to drive in an area you are familiar with. It also makes pick up and drop off points at home or at work more convenient for you, so if you’re based in Reading, a Reading driving school is the ideal choice.

  • Does the driving school offer the type of course you require? For example, you may be wishing to take an intensive course, an advanced driving course or a Pass Plus course. You’ll obviously need to check the availability of those with your chosen driving school in Reading.

  • Search for a driving school or instructor with a good pass rate. At least a 60% pass rate is recommended.

  • Talk to your prospective driving school about their instructors. Choosing an instructor is a very personal thing, and largely depends on rapport as well as their style, punctuality and experience in knowing which methods work well for certain individuals.

  • Ask whether a driving school’s instructors have experience teaching in the Reading area and on local test centre routes. A driving school in Reading should be able to comprehensively prepare you for the tricky junctions and roads around local test centers, as this is where many candidates will falter.

So finding the right driving school in Reading, or indeed wherever you are, is vital. It will play a significant role in how you pass your test and ensure that you are a safe and confident driver for many years to come.
