The instructors

Choose a fully qualified instructor

All AA instructors display a green DSA (Driving Standards Agency) badge in their windscreen to prove they've completed 12 to 18 months of training, and passed an exam testing their ability to teach you. A trainee instructor, who will display a pink badge, may have had as little as four months' training, and no formal qualifications to teach learner drivers.

Enjoy learning

Besides being fully qualified, AA instructors have a friendly, patient approach to teaching. They believe the more you relax, the more you can learn. And if you enjoy your lessons, chances are you'll build up your confidence and your driving skills more quickly.
