Ian Griffee and the Ford Fiesta 1.25 Style, Sussex
Licence To Drive is a well-established driving school that has been delivering driving tuition services in your local area for over 12 years. My name is Ian Griffee, I’m 61 years old and have been in Sussex since 1985 following an upbringing in Norwich and four years working in the Lake District.
I have a background of twenty five years in education with my previous employment as the Senior Learning Mentor in a local mainstream comprehensive.
I have spent my professional life learning and developing the skills to be able to communicate with young people in an effective, supportive, friendly yet professional fashion, which puts me in an ideal position to be able to coach, encourage and improve their driving skill and ability. Text or phone 07742 190100 for more information or to book a lesson.
Qualifications
I trained to be a Driving Instructor with the AA on an individually tailored course with over Eighty Hours of 1–1 tuition. I am CRB / DBS checked and have been with regular reviews since the introduction of the system in 2002. I have passed the DSA Advanced Motoring Test, am registered as an Approved Driving Instructor with the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) am also a member of the Driving Instructor Association and am registered to offer the Pass Plus course. I have been assessed and graded as an ‘A’ grade instructor.
Lessons
A ‘lesson’ usually last for 1.5 hrs although this is adaptable and flexible to the needs of the student.
All lessons are individually planned to suit the ability and progress of the student and start with:
- Recap – Progress made the previous lesson,
- Objectives – What we are aiming to achieve in the lesson,
- Briefing – How we meet the objectives,
- Feedback – How the lesson went, did we meet the objectives.
Car
Lessons are offered in a Dual controlled Ford Fiesta Zetec. The car is ideally suited for learners and in a recent driving instructor magazine survey of 51 different vehicles is one of only a handful of cars that scored 5/5 in the survey. All pupils have said how easy the car is to drive especially with regard to vision, responsiveness of steering and control. Several pupils have opted to learn in the Fiesta, even when they have their own car.

I am based in Haywards Heath and offer lessons within the local area. Pick up and drop off can be arranged from your home, office, college or place of work, whichever is most convenient for you.
