Young Driver Training

Trackdays is proud to bring you our range of Young Driver Training and Kids Driving Lessons experiences. These have been specially designed to target juniors aged between 10 - 17, and give them a head start in learning the basic driving skills for the road.

Young Driver Training differs from our Junior Supercar Driving Experience days, in so far as they are more centred on offering an actual insight into what skills are required to drive a vehicle.

Extensive research has been conducted, underlining how 1 in 5 recently qualified drivers are likely to crash their vehicle within their first 6 months, due to lack of experience. The best way to prevent such a statistic recurring is to give kids a chance to learn the skills required from an early age, which is where kids driving sessions bridge the gap perfectly.

We have courses available in a wide variety of session lengths, from 30 minutes to as much as 3 hours, where under 17s will learn skills such as manoeuvring, braking, accelerating, and changing of gears, plus many other necessary skills for road driving, conducted on a carefully controlled course that's designed to emulate real life road conditions as best as possible.

The cars used on these sessions are typically dual-controlled cars such as the Vauxhall Corsa or Mazda MX-5, which are perfect for tutelage purposes, and under the guidance of an ARDS qualified instructor, the content on the sessions is both informative and delivered in a fun way, which should put both you and your child's mind at ease.

Driving lessons for 10 - 17 year olds offer a huge benefit for children and young drivers looking for some form of driving experience before they start their formal training with a provisional licence at 18 under real-life conditions. 

As we mentioned above, it is statistically proven that young drivers are more likely to have an incident within the first year of passing their test than someone who has been driving for a lot longer. With those odds, it is understandable that you'll want peace of mind that they're getting the best head start.

Young Driver Training experiences have been designed to help juniors build up their driving skills and instill confidence not only in a safe manner but also under simulated conditions that they can expect to find on the road. So it's not only a great experience but also a sound investment in your child's future driving career.

Our Young Driver Training and Kids Driving Lessons are available at by far the biggest selection of locations across the UK.

Almost every region of the UK is covered and accounted for, and typically they'll take place at venues that differ greatly from, say, our circuit tracks. That's everything from Park and Ride facilities, to shopping centres, to racecourses, to football clubs.

Holding them at these venues means the route of the driving course can be more easily laid out, so sessions can be conducted in a relaxed environment without distractions.

Whatever the special occasion may be for your son, daughter, niece, nephew or other young person in your life may be - their birthday, Christmas, passing their exams, summer holidays - at TrackDays our Young Driver and Kids Driving Lesson packages make a fantastic gift idea, which can be purchased with our open Gift Vouchers. We have additional gift wrap options available at checkout as well to give it an extra special touch.

Alternatively, forthcoming available dates for any of our Young Driver packages you see listed above can also be booked onto directly from the calendar. Can't see a date to suit your needs? No sweat - you can contact our Customer Service team, and because they're in regular contact with our suppliers at the venues, they can give you the most up to the minute availability.
