Driving Test Success – All Tests (PC-DVD)

This comprehensive pack of PC-DVDs has been overhauled for 2012 in light of the changes to the theory test. It contains the full question bank for the ADI, car and motorcycle theory tests in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

You can practice as much as you like and become aware of your weakest areas by performing mock theory tests as well as using the official DSA sample clips for the hazard perception element of the theory test.

The practical test is also covered from all angles with over 60 video tutorials covering everything you might be asked to do on your test day. Qualified instructors will take you through all of the manoeuvres from multiple camera angles.

Driving Test Success even includes a copy of the Highway Code, making it an invaluable resource for learners, PDIs and ADIs alike.

5 Star Driving Academy in partnership with BMET colleges held an i drive programme at Sutton Campus and James Watt Campus on 14/2/12 and 15/2/2012.

Over 60 students took part in this great oppurtunity where we covered modules on the theory test,hazard perception test and also gave each student a real driving experience in our cars with the help of our 5 Star Driving Instructors.

On top of this each student then received a diploma to use towards their portfolio`s and vouchers for discounted lessons with our instructors to progress with their driving careers.

Lots of laughs and a great time was had by all staff and students involved

We are planning to extend this course and look out for more great offers and deals coming your way....

if you were on these courses let us know your comments and thoughts of the day

there has been lots of speculation recently about a "new" theory test evolving in january.

the latest information we have received is that there will only be a change to the multiple choice module of the test.

New questions will be introduced to the multiple choice module ,but unlike in the past, the answers will not be available to the candidate.

The reason for this is to ensure the students have a better understanding of the driving theory so that the student is not just memorising the questions and answers in the test..

At the end of the summer I passed my driving test with Tony from 5 STAR DRIVING ACADEMY. I was so happy with the help he gave me that I wanted people to know about it.

My parents brought me a bundle of driving gift vouchers for Christmas last year. They found about at the school on the website after being recommended by a family friend. While I was dead excited about the fact I was going to learn to drive I was also starting to get nervous. In my mind I thought I would crash the car or something equally as stupid. Before my first lesson Tony rang me to confirm my lesson and to check how I was feeling about it all. I was really glad of this as it calmed my nerves a bit and it got rid of some of the fear of talking to a complete stranger.

On my first lesson Tony came and got me from my house. He spoke to me outside of the car for a few minutes and then we were off. He took me to a quite side road and showed me about what all the buttons and pedals do. I was really grateful of this because I was confused about what some of them were but I was too embarrassed to ask. After that it was my turn!! Tony showed me how to safely start, move off and stop the car. Suddenly I thought I was amazing as I could drive at just under 5MPH

After this I met with Tony every week to have a lesson and I was picking it up a lot quicker than I ever dreamed I would. At the end of each lesson I was given a information handout to help me recap the lessons. Tony also advised me to start doing my theory test straight away so that I could get it over and done with. With that passed I booked my driving test. Suddenly I began to question whether I was able to do this, but Tony sat and told me that I could, I just need to believe in myself.

The day of my test came and I was a bag of nerves. I had a lesson before hand which helped a lot as I calmed down and got comfortable. I walked into the test centre a little scared but knowing I could do it if I did exactly what I did in my lessons. And I did!!! A few minors here and there but I’d passed!!!

I want to say thank you to Tony and 5 star for all the training and help they have given me this year!

Sometimes even the best drivers need at little refresher...

Steve at 5star wanted to comment on a pupil whose circumstances were quite unique.

“Russell was in a bike accident five years ago that caused him to suffer from minor head injuries. This led to the DVLA taking his driving license off of him. Russell wanted to be able to drive again and so he met with me. He needed to take a Driving Assessment in Cannock to be able to regain his license. Since the end of July Russell has worked tirelessly with me to regain the skills and confidence he used to have so that he would be ready for his test. On the 8^th November 2011 Russell passed his assessment and is now legally back on the road”

We would like to say a massive well done to Russell from all at 5 star as we wish him all the luck in the future.

a great day was had by all who attended the great i drive programme at edmund campion and other birmingham schools.

the programme is fun,informative and  the key aim is to promote improved safety awareness in the local community, by making young people safer

and more responsible.

In partnership with birmingham city council we offer this to students aged 16 and 17,it is a 4 week course which culminates in an actual driving lesson ...
