About The AA Driving School
The AA is one of the largest and leading driving schools in the UK, with over 1.2 million driving lessons being delivered in 2018 alone. When it comes to teaching standards, The AA say they "don't cut corners and never will."
They have a driving instructors' code of conduct which guarantees their tuition will be delivered one-to-one by a committed teacher who will:
- Use an AA driver development card to track pupil progress
- adapt their teaching style to meet your needs and your pace of learning
- will only provide one-to-one tuition
- won't smoke, use a mobile phone or have other passengers in the car during your driving lessons
AA driving instructors
All of the AA's driving instructors are fully qualified ADIs or have started to provide driving lessons in the final stages of their training. You'll see their pink or green DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) badge displayed in the windscreen of their teaching vehicle to show whether they are qualified or in training.
