After looking for an advanced driving course for ages I contacted driverskills.com after visiting their website. They informed me that they offer 2 days training for the RoSPA test and if I would like to book they would find an instructor in my area who could pick me up from my door step. In the same day I got a phone call saying they had found an instructor and gave me a list of the days he was available for the training, so I chose which dates I could do and purchased the course. The instructor I had was very professional and was able to answer any questions I had. There was alot I never realised I didn't know about driving; in particular safety tips and how to be more fuel efficient. I learnt so much from my 2 days training. When it came to doing the test I felt confident in my abilities, the training had really prepared me. I passed with a gold grade (the highest). I would recommend driver skills, for the quality of training provided and the friendly, supportive and efficient staff. read more

REALLY GOOD TRAINING! I initially shopped around to find the best skid pan training course I could for my daughter and decided to buy the course from driverskills.com as they seemed to provide the best training. I went along with her as she was a bit nervous about doing it. The course started with a presentation on how to control a skidding car which I found very informative. The rest of the morning was then split between either the instructor demonstrating things in the car or her driving. The instructors were all very friendly and really seemed to know their stuff. I work as a teacher and I must say I was very impressed with the skill and patience of our instructor (I think it was Charlie) and also the structure of the course which was a combination of theory, demonstration, training and review. My daughter really enjoyed the day and says she feels much more confident in the car. I would recommend it. read more

What a great team building day we had last Wednesday. The morning lecture was educational and informative Some useful pointers for us each to take back to consider. The afternoon driver training session was very much enjoyed by all. From a personal point of view I was pleased the whole team was able to take part, this I feel helped with our team building, and some personal networking. It was great to see everyone actively taking part and rising to the challenges you and your colleagues set us as individuals. In many cases pushing ourselves to the limits, in an area we are not usually faced with. The catering was fantastic, everyone looked after us very well. I am sure we will be talking about the day, and laughing at the photos (!), for months to come. Simon Dales read more

BRILLIANT! I attended the Performance Driving Course at Elvington recently and thought it was great. The instructors really knew what they were talking about, the day was well organised and loads of fun. Excellent value for money as I had plenty of driving time. Very professional service from when I first called them to when I left the track and even beyond, you can tell that they really care about their customers. The photos were added to Facebook and I received an email to tell me they had been added - very impressive! I would definitely recommend Driver Skills to my family and friends, or anyone that wants to do a track course, I had a great time! read more

NOT WORTH IT "Half day skid training" means less than 25 minutes at the wheel. Session runs from 1300 to 1600h. After 30+ minutes intro and admin the instructor takes you for a ride in the back. With four pupils to one instructor you spend most of the time standing about in the cold and wet. (There is a portakabin to stand in but it doesn't have any windows. Toilet is a fllthy portaloo with no water). For a lot of money you get THREE goes at driving, lasting about seven minutes each. So a "half day" course means about 25 minutes driving. Rip off. read more

I went to Driverskills last Friday to do the skid pan course and I must say that it was first class. The instructors are really good and friendly and really know what they are talking about. I got loads of driving time and I think my driving skills improved quite a bit. My instructor who I think was called Tim was a professional race driver I must say a personal thanks to him. I would have no problem in recommending driverSkills to anyone who wants to learn skills and have some fun. Many thanks Driver skills read more

Dear DriverSkills Team Just a note to say that I had a great day on Friday-aside from being lucky with the weather, Tim Evans the instructor on my course was excellent, he gave constructive advice and I really felt that I had learned some skills as well as having a day to remember. Please pass my thanks to Tim I told my friends about your facility over the weekend-I hope that some of them will take the opportunity to book a course with you. Charles read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I did the stunt driving at Driverskills. It was great fun I learned loads of tricks using the handbrake how to park and spin around and stuff. I am writing this as a thanks for all the effort that who team put into the day. Our car broke the handbrake but another car was there straight away with no loss of time as everything was so well organised. I am going back in October for the drifting course. read more
