About this title

About the Author

Colin Crane first started his working career in education, taking early retirement 29 years later as a Head Teacher. He then retrained as a driving instructor and quickly built up a large driving school within 4 counties, that he later sold. He now operates another very successful driving school with a constantly full diary. He also undertakes Driving Instructor Training and Advanced Driver Training. He holds a RoSPA (Gold) Advanced Driver qualification. Paul Pearson spent 25 years of his working career as an operational Fire Fighter, also carrying out the duties of a fire service instructor. Having gained valuable experience in instructing, running courses and setting fire service exams, it seemed only natural that on retirement he should become an ADI. After working for a local driving school for 12 months he decided to start his own driving school, which over the years has gone from strength to strength. Colin and Paul are partners in a joint internet business, selling training materials to Instructors, Trainers and Trainees.
