Roxana Elena Pitaru *****


I’ve passed my driving test in February thanks to Martin. He’s probably one of the most calm, professional, experienced instructors in Wakefield. He has always been very patient and punctual. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is anxious about driving.
Many thanks Martin πŸ‘


Thanks for the 5star review. Safe driving. πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—

Martin got me to test level quickly after years of trying with various instructors. I honestly thought I would never pass my test and was delighted to pass first time! Highly recommended.

As someone who learned to drive later in life (in my 30s) I then lost my confidence with driving having moved to a new area and not driven for a period of time. After some refresher lessons with Martin, I felt so much better and have been driving confidentlyever since. would highly recommend Martin for anyone who is feeling nervous about driving or who

wants to learn in a decent sized car. This made all the difference for me because i needed to feel confident driving our family car(rather than the Nissan Micra i had  passed my test in with another instructor(. Martin is cal kind and patient, and great company too! Thanks Martin!

About Me

I'm Martin McCormick, the owner of McCormicks school of motoring who provides high quality structured driving lessons for both beginners and people with some experience.

Lessons will be with a fully qualified advanced driving instructor who is approved and registered with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). You can identify this by looking for a green certificate on the windscreen of the vehicle you will be taught in.


McCormicks has been working within the Wakefield area for 23 years. McCormicks originated from first working for BSM and The AA before setting up my own school.


Nervous drivers are very welcome at McCormicks school of motoring.


Other Information


Recent surveys indicate that nine in ten learners who passed both theory and practical tests first time were taught by an instructor.


Some trainee driving instructors are granted a licence so they can gain experience before their qualifying examination. In this case, the trainee driving instructor must display a pink certificate on the windscreen.


DSA is responsible for maintaining and checking the standards of all approved driving instructors (ADI), who to qualify must:

  • Have held a full driving licence for at least four years
  • Pass a much tougher theory test than the one learner drivers take
  • Pass a strict driving test
  • Reach and keep up a high standard of instruction. The standard of tuition given by the ADI is regularly checked by a supervising examiner from DSA
  • Be registered with DSA
  • Display an ADI identification certificate on the windscreen of the tuition vehicle

 

You should take advice from your ADI on:

  • All aspects of driving
  • What books to read
  • When to take your theory and practical tests
  • How to practice

 

DSA, as a government agency, is not allowed to recommend an instructor.

We suggest that you ask friends and relatives to recommend someone they know. You could also look in a local business directory for ADIs in your area.

Try and choose an instructor who:

  • Has a good reputation
  • Is reliable and punctual
