What are Safe Road Skills and Attitudes qualifications?

Our Safe Road Skills and Attitudes qualifications have been developed in partnership with the Driving Standards Agency.

They’re approved for learners aged 14+ at schools and colleges, and are open to all road users, whether they‘re car drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists or horse riders.

Learners will gain an understanding of the rules of the road as set out in the official Highway Code, as well as consider the impact that their attitudes and behaviour can have on other road users.


Why take Safe Road Skills and Attitudes?

A huge number of accidents occur among young people who are new drivers, endangering their lives and those of other road users. Safe Road Skills and Attitudes qualifications aim to make a positive contribution to road safety by educating all road users, building a sense of personal responsibility and encouraging a mature attitude towards risk and road safety issues.

Learners who pass the 13-credit Level 1 Certificate will be eligible to sit a shorter version of the Theory Test for Drivers, called the DVSA Abridged Theory Test * (£18 for the 35-question test instead of £23 for the 50-question test)

.

* Learners must sit and pass the DVSA Abridged Theory Test within three years of the date on their Certificate.
