Y2 Learn Driver Training Ltd

Y2 Learn Driver Training, driving school in Hinckley (Leicestershire)

Y2 Learn Driver Training Ltd is a British driving school operating in the LE10, LE9 and LE8 areas, around Hinckley (Leicestershire). Its activity is divided into two areas: teaching driving to pupils who want to obtain their licence and training people who want to become instructors. The company presents itself as a training business with a client-centred approach and its own learning methods.

Driving lessons for pupils

The driving school structures training around each pupil's goals and pace, with the idea that they learn at their own pace. It uses different vehicles depending on the area where the lesson is given, all of them described as easy to handle and similar to each other for learning. The programme combines modern teaching resources and aims to make training enjoyable and effective, as well as focused on passing the practical test.

Among its stated goals is the development of safe driving skills and environmentally efficient driving, with the argument that this style can translate into financial savings for the driver.

Instructor training

Y2 Learn Driver Training also prepares future driving instructors. To do so, it has an ORDIT-registered trainer with Grade A status, who supports the candidate in preparing for the three required qualification exams. The company notes that, after a year of operating as a driving school, it detected growing interest in a career change towards driving instruction and developed a specific offering for that profile.

Instructor team

The team consists of six qualified driving instructors:

• Neil Wightman, Grade A ORDIT registered instructor.
• Ross Hollway.
• Joanne Pritchard.
• Alex Pascaru.
• Allan Poile.
• Dorland Brun.
• Natalya Haggas, who teaches in Russian, Ukrainian and English.

The instructors have been trained by an ORDIT registered trainer and hold a licence from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

Awards and reviews

The company states that it was honoured with the Driving Instructor of the Year 2018 award and was recognised among the top ten driving instructors of 2019. On its website it includes testimonials from pupils who highlight patience, adaptation to each person's pace and the structuring of lessons according to each student's difficulties.

Environmental commitment

The driving school states that it has signed an agreement with Tree-v, an organisation dedicated to carbon offsetting, to neutralise the impact of its activity. Through that collaboration, the company says it takes part in renewable energy and reforestation projects and other sustainable development initiatives, with the aim of reducing its carbon footprint and serving as a reference in its sector.
