Alan Madrell School of Motoring & Coach Hire

Driver Training
Many Bus and Coach companies are short of drivers and do not have the time or resources to train new drivers. Alan Madrell School of Motoring is a small driver training agency that can take all the stress out of driver training. We can organise medicals, theory tests, as well as upgrades of licenses from automatic to manual licence.
A provisional P.C.V. driving licence is required prior to training, forms for this can be obtained from the D.V.L.A. or ourselves along with the medical form which is required to be completed by a doctor and included with the application for the provisional licence. Once a provisional P.C.V. licence has been received there are three tests to be taken at a theory test centre, P.C.V Muliple Choice test or Theory test as it was known, a series of 100 multiple choice questions.
The pass mark is 85.
P.C.V Hazard Perception Test, is where a series of 19 video clips of road situations are shown on computer and the trainee has to click the button when he sees a developing hazard of which there are 20 scorable hazards.
The pass mark is 67 out of a possible 100.

Training is conducted in one of our Manual Volvo training coaches for 5 days (3 days for a mini coach). We will try to include during the training period the Module 4 Practical demonstration Test, this requires the trainee to demonstrate his knowledge of the vehicle and how it should be operated safely and efficiently. The training concludes with the Practical Driving Test where the trainee has to show that he is a competent driver.
