Can anyone recommend a decent driving instructor in or near Ipswich?

Thanks in advance.

Found lots of websites but no reviews of local instructors, so any help gratefully appreciated.

Its for my son, 17, to start in July School holidays.

You can choose the ones marked * as these instructors have signed up to the voluntary Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme and the Code of Practice (CoP)

Or look for an instructor who is on the Ordit register as these train instructors

What the voluntary CPD scheme and code of practice are

The CPD scheme for ADIs

If an ADI has signed up to CPD, it means that they spend at least seven hours every year updating and refreshing their skills and knowledge.
The ADI code of practice

If an ADI has signed up to the code of practice, it means that they agree to DSA's code which covers:

• how well qualified they are
• their personal conduct when they are training you
• the professional conduct of their business
• their advertising
• how they deal with complaints

Appreciate that. Have you used any in the Ipswich area?

Haven't used any in Ipswich. You could also ask them at MSA and ADINJC, they will have a list of their top rated instructors across the UK and will be happy to let you have the details.

Those who have signed on to CPD with the DSA will need to be good as the DSA can stop them instructing if they do not like their methods, with associations it can be that they will be allowed to continue while they correct any shortcomings
