The RPL Driving School's Instructors

Our Driving Instructors:

• Are fully qualified ADIs.
• Agree to abide by the DSA's code of conduct.
• Will always be patient and professional during your driving lessons.
• Have had an enhanced criminal records check carried out.

You will get the full time you pay for, and although it goes without saying, we will not run errands, smoke, or have anyone else in the car while you are learning (without your permission). There is mention below of the grades our Instructors have. To find out more on what they mean, take a look at the article I wrote called Driving Instructors Grades - What Do They Mean?

The Driving Instructors

Hi, my name is Rob Laird and I have been teaching people to drive since I started RPL Driving in 2006. I cover driving lessons in the Chelmsford and Brentwood areas of Essex. On a recent check by the DSA, I received a grade 6, which is the highest a Driving Instructor can get.

I have also passed my IAM advanced driving test, and now I volunteer my time as an observer for the local IAM group. I am also qualified to deliver the BTEC in Driving Science.

In the past I have also spent time teaching map reading and survival skills to Scouts, Guides and people taking their Duke Of Edinburgh Award.

My name is Sharon Reeve, and I have been a Driving Instructor since 2006. After I passed my instructor exams, I joined a local franchise. In 2009 I became part of RPL Driving, and as I've lived in Essex most of my life, I know the roads very well! On my most recent check test, I narrowly missed out on the top grade, and was awarded a grade 5.

I can provide driving lessons in Brentwood, Romford and Hornchurch and nearby areas of Essex. The car I use for lessons is a Ford Fiesta with a manual gearbox and petrol engine.
