More now than ever, it's essential that key workers can continue their jobs with ease. We must all do what we can to support and make life a little bit easier for key workers. With supermarkets opening early for NHS staff and hotels opening their doors for free accommodation, everyone is pulling together. At DRIVE 321 driving school, we want to do our bit by providing driving lessons for key workers.
Key Workers Driving Lessons
As well as weekly key workers driving lessons, we also have intensive driving courses for key workers.
We have healthy, fully qualified, driving instructors ready to help key workers get their driving licences. At this time, we are providing driving lessons and intensive courses for NHS staff, teachers, nursery workers, social workers, supermarket attendants and anyone whose work is critical at this time. Many employers of key workers are encouraging employees to start learning to drive now and pass ASAP. Please see below for a full list of critical workers.
The safety of our pupils and instructors is important to us and we are taking extra precautions to ensure everyone is able to stay safe during these times.
