Q Do
you have to own or drive a Holden to do this course...?
A
No... The nationwide Holden Advanced Driver Training
Courses are specifically designed to train all vehicle drivers irrespective of what type or brand of
vehicle they actually drive.
Q Aren't
all "advanced driver training courses" the same...?
A No... All
"advanced" driver training courses are not created equal.
There are substantial differences in the content, conduct,
practical hands-on drive time, training benefits and actual results subsequently achieved between the wide range of various driver training
options.
Some "other" courses are theory
only... you never even touch a car at any stage, let alone drive one...
Some "other" advanced driving courses have extremely large attendee
group numbers (up to 60) with a lot of standing around watching other students one at a time doing stopping and
reversing exercises... you don't even drive around corners during the day...
and the "instructors" don't even get into the participants vehicles at any
stage... It's really just a beginners guide to braking with whistles and upside
down buckets...
Some "other" advanced driving courses have you tooling
around at 30km/h in a car with trainer wheels on the end of an airport
taxiway...
Some "other" advanced courses have you puddling around town on city streets in the
instructor's car, just as for learner drivers with the instructor telling
you 40 minutes later what you did wrong 20 minutes ago, whilst ensuring that you have indicated for 3
seconds and not 2.75 seconds...
Some "other" advanced driving courses even have 3 adult students
and the instructor all sitting in the same little car, all at once... and you have to sit around as a back seat passenger with
someone else driving and wait
around for what seems like ages to take your turn at driving around in heavy traffic on city streets...
Only the "Holden Advanced Driver Training Course"
has:
All course attendees continually learning
and practically experiencing advanced techniques whilst utilising their own normal
drive vehicles
Utilises a truly
safe, controlled and specifically structured driver training facility which incorporates a wide range of corners and handling exercises as the training
venue.
Utilises expertly trained professional New Zealand advanced
driving instructors to fully explain and practically demonstrate the correct
techniques
Our Holden advanced driving
instructors are repeatedly inside your vehicle at various stages throughout the
day for
true "one on one" instruction with you receiving hours of progressive development
and practical driving application of the best in proven advanced driving
techniques
Only our Holden Advanced Driver Training Course positively utilises advanced
adult teaching principals and the very latest in multimedia display presentation
equipment for a truly professional and memorable interactive learning
experience
The Holden Advanced Driver Training Course is truly unique and our
course content, delivery and instructional methods are incomparable to all "other" providers
Our outstanding proven results are second to none...
When considering your driver training service provider options, we
strongly suggest and recommend that you fully critically compare and consider your
options, but in doing so, please make sure that you are actually comparing "apples with
apples"
Some "other" providers promise you the world,
don't provide a nationwide service and/or the quality and benefits of both their
instruction and course content is at best inflated and dubious.
Holden Advanced Driver Training is so confident in our product,
compared to all other service providers, that for company fleet vehicle
operators we routinely offer the opportunity for a "totally free - no obligation
course attendance" in order to assist you in evaluating and trialling our
nationwide advanced driver training services.
Q Why
should my company pay to train my staff in driving...?
A
Your company has legal obligations and
liabilities under the Health & Safety in Employment Act to take all
practical steps to ensure the safety of all employees.
Realistically, in most occupations, the relative probability of your staff
members being injured or killed is actually at its highest when they are
operating a vehicle.
A structured pre-emptive investment in your staff's wellbeing and
safety has proven to be both time and money very well spent.
By way of example... one of our Corporate clients
with a fleet of 300 drivers, has clearly documented and
quantified direct financial savings to their company of $6
for every $1 that they invested in their staff by
utilising the services of Holden Advanced Driver
Training.
It is far cheaper and better to provide
pro-active beneficial advanced driver training to all of your staff in order to
avoid and prevent the crash from occurring, than for your company or organisation
to cover both the financial costs and on-going consequences of one of your staff
members being injured or killed in a vehicle collision.
Q How
do I arrange for all of my nationwide staff to attend...?
A Another
additional "exclusive free service" which is only offered by Holden Advanced
Driver Training, is that our staff will co-ordinate, organise, arrange and book
all of your staff directly onto our courses for you.
We will do all of the administration and
logistics for you.
All you have to do is to provide us with a list
of the details of all of your staff you wish to attend our Holden Advanced
Driver Training courses nationwide and our staff will do all the rest.
We will individually contact each of your listed
staff members directly and arrange a mutually suitable date for their attendance.
Individual course attendance confirmation
documentation and maps are mailed out by us directly to each of your attendees.
Printed course attendance certificates are also
provided upon successful completion of the training program.
It couldn't be simpler..
You provide us with;
How many, who and where... and we will do all the
rest!
Q What
if my fleet vehicles are leased...?
A Holden Advanced
Driver Training is recommended and promoted by New Zealand's major
vehicle leasing organisations.
Additionally, as an extra option, you can request
that the Holden Advanced Driver Training Course be directly amortised into your
new vehicle leasing agreements, so as our advanced driver training course is linked to
each new vehicle you lease.
With this option, Holden Advanced Driver Training
will then individually contact each of your staff members as they get their new
vehicles delivered and co-ordinate their attendance onto one of our programmed
nationwide courses.
The discounted cost of the driver training course
is directly amortised into your 3-year vehicle lease at an additional rate of
approx $10 per month.
Q Are
my vehicles insured whilst being used for driver training...?
A Yes...
Generally speaking your
vehicles are still covered as usual under their normal vehicle
insurance policy.
Should you wish to either check with or pre-advise your insurer of your
intentions to attend the advanced driver training then please ensure that you
advise them that you are attending the Holden Advanced Driving Course.
Some "other" course providers have a less than wonderful relationship
with insurers due to their repeated instances of on course damage and insurance claims to
exotic cars as a direct consequence of their dubious training.
The Holden Advanced Driver Training Course has an exemplary operational safety
history and routinely provides driver training to staff members from numerous
various insurance companies, O.S.H, ACC & LTNZ.
Q Can
we do drive programs for Conference activities etc...?
A Yes... we can
individually tailor and organise drive programmes to complement and enhance your company
conference.
We also specialise in arranging and conducting
truly memorable and enjoyable Corporate Client Drive Day Events which can
include everything from Holden Advanced Driver Training to Holden Hot Laps.
Dependent upon your company's individual
requirements we can arrange everything for you, including supply of additional
drive vehicles, venues, caterers etc if required.
Q Why do I need this course... I've already got a
licence...?
A
Holding a drivers licence only means that you are "legally entitled" to
drive a car... it doesn't mean that you are actually any good at it.
Driving is a lifelong endeavour and getting a
licence is just the first step in a very long road.
To become and remain a safe and efficient driver
you need to continually upgrade your knowledge base and practical abilities in
order to consistently and safely operate what can otherwise become a very
expensive lethal weapon, in the wrong hands.
Q Will this course make me a racecar driver...?
A No... Holden Advanced Driver Training Courses
are specifically designed to dramatically improve the Knowledge, Skill and
Attitude of the participants... making them better prepared to make good safe
driving decisions with improved driver reactions, smoothness and fuel
efficiency.
After completing our training you will be able to competently and confidently operate your vehicle in a much more efficient and safe manner...
with the knowledge and advanced practical skills to avoid, prevent or better
deal with any situation which may arise.
Through our affiliates... there is now the opportunity for you to undertake Holden Race Experience for those that aspire to sampling the memorable excitement that is the
Holden Race Experience
Q Will
attending this course reduce my son's licence period...?
A No... By design,
attendance on the Holden Advanced Driver Training Course will NOT reduce your
probationary licence period...
If that is your main aim, then you need to attend one
of two "Principally Theory Courses"... either "Street Talk" or
"Defensive Driving"
The Holden Advanced Driving Course has been
specifically and solely designed to educate and teach drivers everything they
never got taught when they first got their drivers licence...
SUMMARY:
Your normal Driving Instructor teaches you to pass a driving
test...
Holden Advanced Driver Training teaches you much more important
lessons...
How to stop smoothly and effectively,
How to corner smoothly, efficiently and safely,
How to actually prevent and avoid situations from
occurring in the first place,
Dramatically improving your reaction times and
driver decision making,
Increasing your overall vehicle control and
understanding,
And positively addressing the drivers attitude
towards driving and safety.
