The
Big Red L Company has just been given the exclusive rights to deliver the
new BTEC in Driving Science course in Kent. Partnering with a2om,
the
world’s leading driver education specialist,
the Kent based driving school has selected twenty two of their franchised
and associate instructors to receive specific training in helping students
gain much more than just a test pass.
The
BTEC level 2 course is the equivalent to a GCSE, is accredited
by EdExcel and is the world’s first academic qualification in novice
driver training. It offers an opportunity to pioneer a revolution in young
driver training.
This
means that the course will not only help new drivers to stay safe on the
roads; it will also brighten their career prospects.
The
Patron
of the Global Road Safety Commission, HRH Prince Michael of Kent, says of
the new course: ‘I
am
delighted
to see a²om’s
national BTEC scheme bringing to the UK some of the most advanced learning
from around the world. a²om is to be commended for its
initiative to counter some of the significant problems affecting young
drivers and their passengers, as
well as delivering an academic and vocational qualification for the young
driver that may also broaden the base of employment opportunity for those
opting for the a²om
course over a simple driving test’.
In agreement is the director of RoadSafe, Adrian Walsh, who comments that
‘Being
able to drive is an important route to employment, and should be embedded
in our education system; driving well provides a route to continued
employment - this breakthrough will give young people a chance in life
which was just not there before’.
It is the most advanced driver education programme in the UK, and as such
is a large step in the right direction concerning road safety and
awareness for young drivers.
