Pre Driver Training Opportunities

Leicestershire County Council offers pre-driver courses for people ages 15+ who are interested in learning to drive.

Taking place at Mallory Park, the course aims to raise awareness of the challenges faced by young, inexperienced drivers, giving them the knowledge and understanding to make safe choices as drivers and passengers.

For more information or to book a course visit the LCC webpage: Pre-driver courses | Leicestershire County Council

Older Driver Refresher Training

Driver Education Leicester offers Safer Driving with Age Courses.

SAGE is a driving assessment for mature drivers, but SAGE is definitely not a driving test! The assessment is based on common sense, safe, skilful, everyday driving. There are no trick questions or unusual manoeuvres. The assessment will take about one hour to complete, and your assessor will be a friendly experienced Approved Driving Instructor. Each person who completes the assessment will be issued with a certificate and written feedback.

Full details can be found on the Driver Education Leicester website: SAGE - Safer Driving with Age - Driver Education Leicester
