Driving School in Bridlington

Driving School in Bridlington

Arrow Driving School can now offer lessons in Bridlington and the surrounding area. This is fantastic for us and we are looking to take on board students who are keen to learn to drive with a supportive driving school. We aim, as always to teach our students in a way that is comfortable for them but which gets them to test standard as quickly as possible. We have high standards for the way in which we teach and our student feedback is fantastic. Taking our driving school to Bridlington is a huge step for us and we are greatly looking forward to building our student base up. Word of mouth is crucial for an ADI to continue to win business and we feel that positive word of mouth is one of the areas we do really well in. We look to continue to build our reputation in Bridlington and to continue to provide quality lessons at a low price.

Driving lessons in Bridlington

Having visited Bridlington many times myself I appreciate that as an area for driving it offers challenges similar to Beverley, many different road types, quick access to rural roads and a town centre that can have congestion at times. All of this is great for student drivers that said we never intend for any of our lessons to be stuck in traffic! Driving in heavy traffic is genuinely a key skill for students to develop but we aim to keep you mobile as much as possible! Being on the coast Bridlington is a popular seaside destination and at this time of year and with the weather being beautiful it is a sure thing that this holiday destination will be busy.

Trusted driving tuition in Bridlington

It is great for us to be able to offer our students driving lessons in Bridlington and the surrounding areas. All students who are new to Arrow are offered our 5 lessons for £55 deal which is fantastic value and an excellent starting point on your road to becoming a safe driver. We are excited about this next step and all we need now is customers to take us up on our offer to learn to drive with a driving school with a proven track record for quality. As always if you are interested or have any questions at all please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our details can be found here and we always have the time to discuss what we can offer.

ADIs wanted in Hull and East Yorkshire

Arrow Driving Academy is in the process of expanding and we are looking for ADIs who are interested in finding out more about joining us. We offer a franchise with a difference and the details can be found on our website right here. Briefly put we are a driving school that is ideally placed to continue expanding. We charge zero franchise fees until we find you a minimum of ten customers. That is no fee whatsoever until we find you a minimum of ten customers!

ADIs wanted for a franchise with a fresh approach in Hull and East Yorkshire

Based in Hull and East Yorkshire we are a very friendly and supportive driving school. ADIs of all experience levels are welcome and all are offered support and help in setting up. We know it is a huge leap to take on a franchise and as ADIs who have been there and done it before we know that some of the deals out there are one sided. At Arrow we know we have a different approach. With low franchise fees and a solid support base we aim to help our ADIs advance as much as possible. We know that for us to expand and grow takes drive and passion, we definitely have that but know when to back off and let you do your own thing.

Take it from us we really have been there. We have held franchises in the past, which have not given us what we need. We have designed our franchise package to be different. We want you to have the freedom to run your business but to also have the support when you need it. Even if it is just a bit of advice on how to handle a student. We pay for advertising and marketing costs, supply customers and take as much pressure off as is possible. All you need do is do what you do best and teach.

Are you an ADI looking for a new direction? Fed up of the same old franchises that offer an impersonal service? Why not give Arrow Driving Academy a call or contact us via Facebook or our webpage? We will always get back to you as soon as possible. You will not be disappointed with our friendly informative service. We are a growing driving school with big plans, looking for ADIs that can help us go places. What are you waiting for? Even if you just want to know more, do not hesitate to get in touch.

Trusted and reliable driving instructors in Hull and East Yorkshire

Trusted and reliable driving instructors in Hull and East Yorkshire

Arrow Driving Academy is a trusted local driving school in Hull and East Yorkshire. We endeavour to give our customers quality lessons and aim to continue to build upon our reputation for reliability. With an emphasis on quality at all times we are dedicated to building our reputation up through a positive approach to quality of service.

Trusted driving school in Hull and East Yorkshire

We know what the feeling is like when your driving instructor lets you down, either by not turning up or letting you know they are going to be late. It is not pleasant and ultimately can lead to the student losing faith in the instructor. When this happens it is difficult for any student/instructor trust to be built back up as the student may feel that it could easily happen again. We know at Arrow that sometimes events or circumstance conspire against both students and instructors which leads to being late for lessons or the lesson being cancelled. Although unavoidable, ultimately it is our responsibility as instructors to keep this to a minimum as much as is possible. At Arrow you can expect a very high quality of service which we are proud to say is reflected on our testimonials page which can be found right here

Trust is crucial in driving instructing, our students need to trust in our knowledge and reliability and we need to trust our own ability in instructing at the highest standard. If we do not communicate effectively with our students we all know how quickly this leads to student confidence being knocked or worse, dangerous unpredictable driving. All of our instructors are customer focused individuals and are fantastic at what they do. They build trust quickly and customers can rely on Arrow Driving Academy. This culture runs within the company and is a key driving force. We know that reputation is crucial especially in a competitive industry and we aim to keep our reputation for reliability. That said, I know it is part and parcel of our instructors approach anyway. They take personal pride in being excellent instructors. This includes living up to their own very high standards in reliability and instructing skill.

If you are looking for a driving instructor with a reputation built on trust and reliability then rest assured you can find them at Arrow Driving Academy. We hope you all have a fantastic week and weekend, stay safe on the roads and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all.

Taking a look at what the DVLA are up to and interestingly they are aiming to phase out the paper counterpart licence by 2015. This will be beneficial for many reasons including saving money, reducing overheads including administration fees but the big benefit is not having to keep another form safe. We know it is a small thing but we have lost count of the amount of misplaced counterparts that our students have had to replace. So for us it is a good thing it is going! But on a serious note it will save money and all of the relevant information the counterpart holds will be with the DVLA anyway so we should lose no functionality whatsoever. This can only be a good thing going forward. More information on this and other DVLA news can be found right here

Well that’s it for this week stay safe on the roads and we hope to hear from you.

Trusted Driving School in Hull

Arrow Driving Academy offer very competitively priced driving lessons in Hull and East Yorkshire. With an emphasis on building reputation through value and fantastic lessons we are a driving school that lives the job of instructing.

Well the new driving test centre at Craven Park has bedded in and we have not found it a problem at all and most of the students are aware or have been to Craven Park for the Rugby, which helps on test day. Driving test bookings are operating at around a 6 week waiting time at the moment, plenty of time to make a booking sufficiently in the future to get some final lessons in. I have always found the focus that booking the test in brings to be a fantastic motivator. Especially when the DSA allows rebooking so we are not held to the date in case anything comes up. Taking a longer term view to booking your test is a good thing, but do not worry if it takes a little while longer, or indeed if it sooner than expected. Everyone learns at their own pace and no truer is this when doing your driving lessons. Over the years it is clear to me that there is no set way to teach as each student is different.

World Cup fever has taken over and we are right into the spirit of things. Minus a few very tricky refereeing decisions so far this World Cup has been a blinder! So come on England! Lets see how far we can get this time around! A fantastic competition that brings the best of the worlds football teams together on one stage. You may be thinking how does this relate to driving and you have a point! In my experience anything that has large amounts of individuals leaving the pub can often lead to more treacherous driving conditions! The crowds of football fans, which are sure to be in the pubs especially for the earlier England matches, are going to have a great time. We will be driving no doubt and will have to record the matches I don’t think we will have much chance of getting home without someone giving away the score!

Talking about competitions we have our own Facebook competitions that Arrow Driving Academy run each week, just a bit of fun but prizes are available to win so why not give it a go. That is all from us this week, we hope you enjoy the football and if you do not then at least it will be finished in a few weeks! Come on England!

Take care

Hull – City of culture 2017 1024 654 Paul Davies

Hull – City of culture 2017

Hull – City of culture 2017

I came to Hull after it was labelled the worst place to live in the UK and I was immediately struck how grossly inaccurate that show was. It still surprises me now that this city was labelled in such a way. I cannot fathom how a city with people as warm and friendly as this one with a history like the one it has could even be considered. In context, I fully appreciated that education and crime statistics required improvement but it was clear to me in a short time that Hull was improving all of the time

Many people, my friends and family included just don’t know enough about this great city. From shopping centres and tourist attractions such as the Deep, the Museum Quarter and the Ferens Art Gallery to name a few. All of them are fantastic and in regards to the museums and Ferens are totally free. The cultural aspects of the whole city are wonderful and the small independent shops, which hold out against the generic national chains, are an inspiration to any small business.

For a city so steeped in History it is a truly inspirational place for anyone with an interest in the past. From hundreds of years as a key port supplying the country with goods to its fundamental importance in the war effort, Hull as a truly independent spirit that has to be sampled to be appreciated. Perched on the edge of England alongside the banks of the Humber, Hull continues to serve as port and provides maritime links with merchant shipping from all over the world. Looking back on the history of Hull is a fascinating way to spend time as the results of each moment is written in the architecture and the people. A self-depreciating humour with a very sharp wit is the calling card of many of my students. This thread of humour and pride flows through the city. The two Super League Rugby League clubs and the premier league football team keep sport at the forefront in Hull. Culturally speaking the poets this city has nurtured is remarkable and the local musical talent is constantly turning out wonderfully gifted musicians and songwriters.

All of this is just scratching the surface of what Hull has to offer. The future is looking fantastic for Hull, winning the City of Culture 2017 is a truly awesome achievement and it is about time that the city was recognised for the positive things that are happening. Further to this the new Siemens Wind Turbine plant is real indication of the direction this city is going and how fantastic is it that it is based upon utilising a key natural resource of this area.

I think Hull is a wonderful place and very happy to call it home. For anyone considering visiting Hull I would highly recommend it, unique with a sense of place that is all its own.

Have a great week and stay safe everyone,

Paul

Free Theory Test Trainer- Hull 507 280 Paul Davies

Free Theory Test Trainer- Hull

Free driving theory test training in Hull

Along with driving lessons in Hull we offer free access to driving theory test training for each and every one of our students at Arrow Driving Academy. We take the on going training of our students very seriously and want our lessons to continue even when the student is at home. This is were the free driver theory test software comes in. All our students have access to this software and are given a unique log in. The software can be accessed from tablets, mobiles and laptops, it is very user friendly and can log results for future reference.

An excellent feature is the feedback feature. Your instructor is also able to track your progress whilst you progress through the theory test questions. This makes it very useful for identifying areas that students would benefit from more support in. The software is an excellent addition to our lessons and many of our students utilise the program alongside the free Highway Code we also give to each of our students.

Free Hazard Perception training in Hull and East Yorkshire

The software also contains the Hazard Perception element of the test that our students in Hull and the surrounding area can do. This is a series of videos each showing a different driving situation on a variety of roads. Each video clip shows a hazard and the student is required to click the mouse as soon as they notice the hazard. The hazard element makes a welcome break from answering the multi choice questions but it is also there to serve an important purpose. Namely to keep students aware of hazards and how quickly they can appear, it also notes how quickly the student reacts. The quicker the reaction the higher the score. Working on your theory with support from your driving instructor can reduce stress and keep you confident that you are taking the right approach at the right pace for you.

Free Highway Code in Hull and East Yorkshire

Working with our students at the right pace for them is a crucial element of our approach. By offering our students the free theory test training and the free Highway Code we feel that our students are able to continue learning at a pace that suits them. With everything they need to pass the theory and practical in one place we feel that the value that Arrow brings is in the all around support. If you are interested in taking driving lessons with Arrow Driving Academy then do not hesitate to get in touch. We are available on Facebook, Email, website contact form, Twitter and, of course, the phone so if you have any questions at all or would like to book a lesson then please get in touch.

Have a fantastic week and here’s hoping we get some more sun!

Driving Lessons in Hull

Driving lessons Hull

Arrow Driving Academy provides driving lessons in Hull. We offer the smart choice for any student looking to undertake driving lessons in the hull area. With over eight years experience Arrow Driving Academy really are one of the premier driving schools in Hull. All of our vehicles are new, safe and student friendly, offering the right balance of accessibility with the features that many students and instructors appreciate (air conditioning for one!) with smaller engines that offer the eco friendly driving approach. With fuel-efficient cars it is much easier for Arrow to pass on savings to students and keep our rates extremely competitive. Driving lessons in Hull are always varied and we have the experience to get you driving as soon as is possible. We also offer the choice of male or female driving instructors in Hull.

Well it has been a very busy week again, managing new students alongside established students keeps this job very fresh. The feeling of knowing we have helped a student pass their driving test is always fantastic. It is great to know we have helped someone secure a valuable life skill, which will stay with him or her. The ability to drive a vehicle is a wonderful skill to have; from socialising to work it is a massive benefit. Keeping in mind our approach to instructing, which is to always approach our lessons with ‘safe driving for life’ as our motivator’ we are very proud of our achievements as a driving school. We have also expanded to cater for other areas which has been brilliant and keeps things challenging, just as we like it.

Following on from some chats we have had this week with our students we have found some interesting reading and tips which we think is good advice. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency has some interesting reading on safe driving for life and recently it has published an article on ‘Tailgating’ for anyone unfamiliar with this term it is simply when you drive too close to the driver in front. According to the research carried out by the road safety charity Brake and Direct Line up to 95% of drivers have at been concerned about other drivers driving to close to the back of their vehicles. It is an obviously dangerous maneuverer and needlessly causes accidents. Around 14% of road casualties are caused by tailgating. An easy way to ensure you yourself do not tailgate is to follow the two-second rule. Essentially the two-second rule is designed so that you stay a safe stopping distance away from the vehicle in front. To ensure you are following the two-second rule is simple. When the vehicle in front passes a fixed point, a sign or lamppost for example, count two seconds and as long as you do not pass the same fixed point before you finish you are OK (note this is for driving in clear and dry conditions, in wet conditions this should be doubled at least and in icy conditions it should increase further) The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency recommends that As the car in front passes a fixed point, such as a sign or a bridge, start to say ‘only a fool breaks the 2-second rule’ at a normal rate as it takes around 2 seconds to say. For more info on this the article can be found here it is very informative and well worth a read, it also has an explanation video at the bottom. We particularly like the advice to say ‘only a fool breaks the 2-second rule’ as it seems more accurate then simply counting and serves as a good reminder!!

Well that’s it for this week, hope you are having a fantastic bank holiday weekend and stay safe on the roads.

Pass Plus In Hull 1024 686 Paul Davies

Pass Plus In Hull

Pass Plus in Hull

At Arrow we offer Pass Plus training in Hull. We also offer the Pass Plus in Grimsby, Hornsea, Driffield, Beverley and other locations. But what is Pass Plus and how can it benefit a driver? Pass Plus training is simply further training a new driver can take. It offers a minimum of 6 hours further instructor supported training and once complete a driver can apply for the Pass Plus certificate, which could lead to cheaper insurance! An important consideration is that the Pass Plus is not an exam but simply further training. The pass plus is broken down into 6 units:

• In town
• In all weathers
• On rural roads
• At night
• On dual carriageways
• On motorways

As you can see the units are designed to maximise the exposure a new drivers gets to different road types and driving conditions. It is a fantastic confidence builder but more than that it offers crucial further experience with the added benefit of the training being instructor led. At Arrow Driving Academy we believe our Pass Plus training is one of the best around. With an emphasis on driver support we are here to provide the one on one extended training that new drivers benefit from.

Working toward a philosophy of safe driving for life, arrow driving the Pass Plus scheme is a superb way to get your driving career off to a fantastic start. You can find out more about the Pass Plus Scheme right here

 

The pass plus scheme is excellent but if you are still at the start of your journey to becoming a driver why not choose Arrow to get you on the road? We offer driving lessons in Hull and all areas around Hull. Our driving lessons in Hull cover all areas of the city and we aim to work around our students schedules as much as possible. We are expanding and now offer driving lessons in Skirlaugh, Sproatley, Brough, South Cave, Preston, Hedon and Leven.
