UK Enterprise Awards 2024

SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 160 Best Driver Training Organisation 2024 SmartDriving is an award-winning company that holds a strong reputation in the driver training and education sector for achieving excellent results. Whether you are a learner driver, a qualified driving instructor, or dreaming of becoming one, SmartDriving has a service to suit you. As SmartDriving receives its title in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024, we speak with Company Director Adam Bragg. For over 40 years, SmartDriving has been training and supporting drivers in all stages of their driving journey, from individuals just getting started on the road to driving experts interested in sharing their skills with others. SmartDriving is part of the watch.learn.drive group, which provides continuous professional development and advanced training to the driver training industry. The company was founded by industry guru John Farlam, who became a driving instructor after trying numerous potential careers. Though he initially had no interest in becoming an instructor, John quickly fell in love with both his job and the industry. Now, John is an industry leader and SmartDriving is seen as the leading body for training, advice, and coaching drivers. “The school has grown from a training and support service to becoming one of the largest UK-based driver training companies, providing students with the skills required to be safe and confident drivers for the rest of their lives,” Adam tells us. By combining virtual classrooms with real-time, in person classes, the dedicated team of specialists have helped thousands of trainees earn their qualifications. SmartDriving’s supportive team is always available to answer all questions clients may have about the process. This team is made up of highly skilled professionals who boast decades of experience in the driving training industry. Overseen by Directors John Farlam, Graham Lucas, and Adam Bragg, SmartDriving’s instructors strive to provide students with the best possible opportunities that enable them to pass their requisite tests swiftly and efficiently. With a dedication to embracing new technologies, SmartDriving has developed Standards Check Success, a new app that offers instructors the opportunity to work on their necessary knowledge for the Standards Check. A Standards Check is a test that instructors must take every two to four years, which assesses their performance and competence as an instructor. Standards Check Success is available on all platforms and can be accessed wherever, giving instructors full freedom to independently advance their professional development. SmartDriving has seen remarkable success in its endeavours, with more than 4,000 driving schools and approved driving instructors regularly adopting and adapting its techniques, coaching methods, and resources. In recent years, SmartDriving launched its own driving school, DRIVE. The aim is that instructors trained through SmartDriving will go on to instruct for DRIVE, completing a professional ‘loop’ with the company. DRIVE has seen significant growth in the last year, furthering SmartDriving’s ardent commitment to empowering drivers and instructors to take control of their journey. “Not only do we offer first-class training, which is undeniable through our exceptional pass rates, we are also committed to keeping one eye on the evolving sector,” Adam tells us, “ensuring students always have the best chance of passing tests through our use of the latest state-ofthe-art technologies.” This approach has provided SmartDriving with a reputation for quality, dedication, and excellence that is highlighted in its glowing testimonials and referrals from happy and satisfied clients. “I recently completed my online driving instructor training with SmartDriving, and it was excellent,” reports one client. “The support team was knowledgeable and responsive, and the course was wellstructured and thorough. The online resources and practical sessions really prepared me for the ADI tests. I now feel confident and ready to start my new career. I highly recommend SmartDriving for anyone looking to become a driving instructor!” “I have just qualified as an approved driving instructor, and it was a fantastic experience indeed. The lessons were very straightforward and easily accessible, group sessions were very informative and conducted in a highly professional manner,” writes another. “The support was excellent and not a single moment did I feel that I was on my own all throughout the course. Thank you SmartDriving.” SmartDriving is making waves in the industry with its innovative approaches and commitment to ongoing development.
