Our own module 3a off road manoeuvres testing area

In 2021, the DVSA split the practical vocational driving test into two modules; module 3a off-road exercises and module 3b on-road driving. The content of the test hasn’t actually changed, it’s just done in two steps and the module 3a test has to be passed before a candidate can attend their module 3b test

Another part to these changes is that the module 3a test can now be conducted by an assessor working for an organisation other than the DVSA or a delegated authority. Ian is now qualified to conduct the module 3a off road exercises tests at our own DVSA approved off-road testing area. There’s no need to go to the test station for this element of the practical test, making the off–road exercises that you do as part of your practical test much more relaxed, as you’re doing the test on the same area that you have actually trained on!

Obviously, in the interest of fairness, Ian can’t assess and pass his own trainees, so we have another qualified assessor (who’s also an instructor) to come and assess you and you may see Ian conducting an assessment for other instructors before yours, so there’s no surprises as you know exactly what’s going to happen.

Expert LGV & driver training in Nottinghamshire

Ian markwick's mission is to bring skills, expertise and enthusiasm to drivers across the UK

At Ian Markwick Driver Training we know modern LGV (HGV) fleet operators need suitably skilled drivers to protect the investment in their vehicles and to perform a safe, efficient, courteous and professional job.

The combination of modern, full size, clean and well-maintained Scania training vehicles and an instructor, who is qualified to be on the National Register of LGV Instructors, gives trainees the best possible environment in which to learn their skills.

We are pleased to train both private individuals and company employees not only to meet the standards required to pass the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency driving test but also to be regarded as a professional worthy of the honour of holding an LGV licence.

Amazing instructor. Extremely knowledgeable and very patient. Worth the travel and every penny to get the right instructor. 
Too many “I know it all’s out there” so make sure you get the right trainer ie Ian he is great fun to train with and is highly respected in the industry, that says it all to me.
