James Hankins

Manager and DVSA Approved Driving Instructor

I am a fully qualified Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor, I have been an instructor since 2010 and founded DRiVE Cornwall in 2012, a small franchised school. After relocating to Scotland in 2022, I set up Nessdriving.com. I am one of very few instructors that has taken the 'Cardington Special Test' for instructors and passed with an A grade. I have also achieved my BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching for Driver Education. Coaching others has always been my passion and road safety has become paramount to my profession. I don't just teach people to pass their test but I teach a skill for life. Being a member of the Driving Instructors Association (DIA) and signed to the DVSA's Voluntary Code of Conduct you can be assured of professional tuition but also in a fun and enjoyable environment. Experience of using British Sign Language in lessons. It gives me great pleasure to teach today's new young drivers safe driving for life and to get them through their driving test. I am proud to specialise in teaching those with learning difficulties and have experience teaching deaf and hard of hearing customers.
