About Martin

Martin McCormick is the owner and lead instructor at McCormicks School of Motoring. He has over 23 years of experience teaching learners in the Wakefield area. He is a fully qualified Advanced Driving Instructor, approved and registered with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). Martin offers clear, structured lessons for complete beginners and for those who have already had some practice. He first trained with major driving schools BSM and The AA, then set up his own successful school, so he knows the job inside out. Martin has a strong track record of helping people pass first time, including many who have struggled with other instructors. He is calm, patient and thorough, which really helps nervous learners relax and build confidence. His students often mention how reliable and punctual he is, and how he helps refresher drivers feel comfortable again. Lessons usually take place in a decent-sized family car, so you feel ready for real-world driving, not just the test. By following DSA standards and using a steady, step by step approach, Martin gives you the support you need to become a safe, confident driver.

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
