It’s official: RED wins National Driving School of The Year!

We are delighted to announce that RED Driving School has won the First Car Award for National Driving School of the Year, 2018!

Ian McIntosh, CEO of RED Driving School says, ‘It is a huge honour to win this award. FirstCar is a highly respectable institution. I would like to thank all of our employees, Driving Instructors and students for helping RED to achieve this award. We look forward to continuing to improve the services that we offer so that learner drivers can get on the roads safely and confidently.’ You can hear more from Ian about the win on our YouTube Channel.

This is the first ever awards that the FirstCar team have hosted, and we are honoured to be one of the winners. The awards have been created to help young drivers pick the driving school, services, technology and cars that help them stay safe behind the wheel.

The FirstCar judging panel say RED took the win as a result of the company having, ‘embraced modern technology in its teaching methods through online and mobile platforms. What’s more, RED Driving School allows learner drivers to post reviews directly to its Facebook page, and has a ‘no-quibble’ refund policy. A strong commitment to road safety is backed by a supportive approach to its learner drivers and career development for its instructors.’

The judging panel consisted of a number of industry experts, as well as members of the three main associations that support Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs); the Approved Driving Instructors National Joint Council (ADINJC), the Driving Instructors Association (DIA) and the Motor Schools Association (MSA).
