Latics launches ‘Pass in a Week’ Crash Courses

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

At Latics Driver Training, we have always been proud of our high pass rates and we will be continuing the trend but at a much faster rate for some of our customers.  Our intensive and semi-intensive courses have always proved popular and now we can offer our customers an even quicker way to get their licence.

Our new fast ‘pass in a week’ crash course means that customers can now start their lessons on a Monday and pass on the Friday!

Although these courses are referred to as ‘crash courses’, rest assured, we will not be teaching you to crash!  Quite the opposite.  Lessons taken intensively mean that with little time to forget in between lessons, learning is much quicker.

In fact, latest Government research found that of all successful test candidates, the average number of hours taken with an instructor was 47 and the average time taken to pass the test was 13 months!  With our pass in a week crash course, the cost will be much lower than taking weekly lessons.

Our all-inclusive ‘pass in a week’ crash course is being offered at an introductory price of just £599, which means that compared to taking lessons weekly, you could save hundreds of pounds.  Although the majority of our customers pass in less hours than the national average, based on the national average figures, you could save over £400 with our ‘pass in a week’ crash course!

We’re also so confident that the vast majority of our customers taking the ‘pass in a week’ crash course will achieve a pass at the end of the week that we guarantee to pay for your next test if you are unfortunate enough not to pass on the first attempt!

Places on the ‘pass in a week’ crash course are limited so to avoid disappointment, we recommend that you ring us on 0161 345 3452 or contact us through our website asking for an application form.

happy-birthday

We are officially 8 years old today!  Latics Driver Training was launched on 5th November 2001 by business partners Claire Wilmot and Glyn Crossley who have more than 25 years experience in driver training between them.  The company has expanded steadily over the years to become Oldham’s biggest and best driving school and has helped thousands of happy customers pass their test.  Our team of dedicated instructors and our happy customers have been paramount to the success of Latics Driver Training.

Over the last 12 months, we have been busy expanding and offering new products.  Director Claire Wilmot has visited local schools to give presentations and deliver road safety messages, our new ‘Pass in a Week Crash Course’ has been launched, and all the vehicles have been signwritten with the fantastic new Latics Driver Training branding.

Over the next 12 months, we aim to deliver the same high standard of driving instruction and customer service.  We will also be launching our new and improved pupil progress system and updating our instructors with some of the new breed of extremely successful coaching methods being introduced to the driver training industry.

The driving school provides driving lessons in Middleton, Ashton, Rochdale, Oldham, Saddleworth, Hyde, Manchester and most surrounding areas.  See our website for more information.

We were able to meet with many members of the public who were interested in learning to drive (or knew someone who wanted to learn).  Sophie Holland (Office Manager), along with Frank Walsh ADI and Ric Hughes ADI were there for the full day to hand out leaflets, pens and road safety materials to passing customers, and some even got to try out the Theory and Hazard Perception test on site, too!  Claire Wilmot (Managing Director) said, “today’s trade fair here at Costco has generated quite a lot of interest, and we hope to do more of the same in the future.  Latics Driver Training prides itself on being the best driving school in the area, and it’s been great to have been able to meet and answer questions from the public about learning to drive”.

Special thanks to Sophie, Frank and Ric for all their hard work! :D

Happy 7th Birthday to Latics Driver Training!

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Today, Latics Driver Training celebrates 7 fantastic years of business!

Directors Claire Wilmot & Glyn Crossley started the driving school in association with Oldham Athletic Football Club back in 2001, and have seen the company grow over the years to become the biggest and best driving school in the Oldham area.

In 2001, Latics School of Motoring (as it was then known) simply consisted of 3 instructors – Claire Wilmot, Glyn Crossley, and Judy Moores (Claire’s mum), who covered the Oldham area. Now in 2008, Latics Driver Training has 26 instructors throughout the borough, and Latics is now able to provide driving lessons to pupils over a much larger area, including Rochdale, Ashton under Lyne, Middleton, Failsworth and Saddleworth.

Sophie Holland, Latics Driver Training’s Office Manager, who joined the team in 2007, has played a pivotal role in the growth of the business over the last 12 months, and our success has been down to a lot of hard work, a fantastic team of driving instructors, and of course to all of our students.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LATICS DRIVER TRAINING!
