About Pro 1 Driving Academy

Back ground information

I have commenced driver training in July 2005 and our business has been growing steadily ever since. Prior to driver training I was a tradesman. During my 15 years as a tradesman I had the opportunity to train apprentices. Before long, I realised that I have a passion for training and working with people, including slow learners. I often get complemented for being very patient and able to explain things thoroughly. I hold Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment. For a few years I worked for a large government department in a customer service role and also in the tourism industry.
