How Wanting To Become A Driving Instructor After Emergency Response Driver Training Led To Sirens.

2003

Hertfordshire Police

The Seed Is Sown.

As far back as 2003, the director of Sirens Driving Academy, Stephen Bell, had thoughts about how to become a driving instructor, following an emergency response driver training course for Hertfordshire Police. Stephen had always had a passion for cars and loves his race cars. It was while training to become an advanced Police driver on an emergency response driver training course that the instructor stated one day:

“You should become a driving instructor.”

That day, the seed was sown — but it took another two to three years to come to anything.

Why would I want to become a driving instructor and have
people throw me around at over 100 mph during emergency
response driver training?

That’s exactly what Stephen thought

2006

Sirens is born

From Advanced Police Driver to Driving Instructor

Stephen's initial reaction was to question why he would want to become a driving instructor after experiencing the intensity of emergency response driver training. Rather than continuing to train fellow Police officers on emergency response driving courses, Stephen decided to explore the driving-instructor route.
In 2006, he qualified as a driving instructor and Sirens Driving Academy was born.

The business initially started with just one driving instructor in July 2006. By the end of the year, the team had grown to three instructors as demand for the training increased. Stephen went on to become an advanced Police driver, while also working as a driving instructor at weekends. This combination of advanced driving experience and professional driver instruction became an important part of the foundation on which Sirens Driving Academy was built.

Years That Followed

Sirens continues to grow

Emergency Response Driver Training

Becoming a driving instructor didn't mean Stephen moved away from emergency response driver training. He continued to teach Police and Fire officers on emergency response driving courses.

As Sirens Driving Academy developed, the business expanded into additional areas of driver training, including B+E trailer training. This led to work with both private customers and corporate clients, including companies using trailers and customers requiring training for horsebox and trailer towing.

Stephen was also involved in emergency response driver training for organisations including:

“You should become a driving instructor.”

It was then that Stephen saw there was a need to provide C1 driving licence courses for ambulance staff too young to have passed the driving test before 1997 — and young Police officers couldn’t drive their vehicles either.

So, from the days of a driving instructor making a passing comment during an emergency response driver training course, Sirens has continued to grow.

From One Instructor to
a Growing Driving Academy

From the original idea suggested during an emergency response driver training course, Sirens Driving Academy has continued to grow since 2006. Today, our instructors provide a wide range of professional driver training courses, including
