what is the engage driving scheme

WHAT IS ENGAGE?

Learn the stuff the driving test doesn't prepare you for

Choosing to learn with an engage driving instructor won’t cost you any more time or money but the benefits could prove priceless. By using special learning modules as part of your normal driving lessons, engage instructors will help you fill in the gaps in the current driving test about issues such as fatigue, peer pressure, basic maintenance, drink and drug driving, speed and distraction.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Will it take longer to learn with an Engage instructor?

The resources do not mean you will need more lessons, in fact they will help you to better prepare for your test, but more importantly they will help you be better prepared for solo driving. It’s the smart choice for learners, parents and instructors.
