UK driving familiarisation driver coaching

Essential training for foreign nationals

Why should my drivers attend TTC's UK Familiarisation Driver Coaching?

Driver coaching is an essential course for foreign nationals who have limited experience or are new to driving in the UK.

The course uses theory and on-road coaching and is tailored to the driver’s individual needs. A discussion and assessment drive to identify training objectives is followed by bite-sized, on-road sections to optimise and reinforce learning and confidence.

Our experienced driver coach will focus on overcoming barriers and fears about driving in the UK and reducing the risk of a collision during a potentially high-risk period of adaption.
