Throughout those years I trained apprentices sharing my skill, knowledge and passion. When my daughter turned 17 she decided she wanted to drive, I enjoyed learning the skills that would help her on her journey to pass her driving test.&nbsp; This led to my career change in 2016 to becoming a driving instructor and then setting up my own company, Drive with CSM in 2017. A career change I have never looked back on. It has taken me 30 years to find my vocation, and being a driving instructor is a vocation I am very passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Drive with CSM is small, family run business and one I am very proud of. Drive with CSM current instructors are myself Paul and Val who between us have over 60 years\u2019 experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>What do we offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">CSM shares one main goal with all of its customers, safe driving for life and of course to successfully pass their driving test! To do this we know one learning style doesn\u2019t suit all and understand everyone has different learning abilities which is why we offer tailored lessons to match your personal needs and capabilities. In addition to this every customer is given access to our free theory app to help achieve their theory test pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">We are a dedicated team to ensure that learning to drive is as enjoyable and as stress free as possible. Each Drive with CSM customer will receive 100% attention and support whilst on their 1-2-1 lesson. The support also extends outside of the driving lessons as we also have a dedicated Whatsapp group, a driving community which allows for open discussions on driving, a support network of like minded individuals &nbsp;and allows for information sharing to keep our customers updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Our ethos\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Learning to drive is a life skill, a life skill we are passionate about teaching and passing on our knowledge in a friendly, relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">At Drive with CSM we share the same values and commitment in helping all our customers reach their full potential, pass their driving test, and the knowledge to drive safely for life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-raft-bg-alt-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c271bb01 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9cad5244 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-f5bb311e wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drivewithcsm.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/raft\/assets\/img\/shape-02.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284\" style=\"width:163px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Paul<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600;text-transform:uppercase\">Driving instructor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-style-logos-only is-layout-flex wp-container-core-social-links-is-layout-9f1a95c5 wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-x  wp-block-social-link\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M13.982 10.622 20.54 3h-1.554l-5.693 6.618L8.745 3H3.5l6.876 10.007L3.5 21h1.554l6.012-6.989L15.868 21h5.245l-7.131-10.378Zm-2.128 2.474-.697-.997-5.543-7.93H8l4.474 6.4.697.996 5.815 8.318h-2.387l-4.745-6.787Z\" \/><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">X<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-linkedin  wp-block-social-link\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M19.7,3H4.3C3.582,3,3,3.582,3,4.3v15.4C3,20.418,3.582,21,4.3,21h15.4c0.718,0,1.3-0.582,1.3-1.3V4.3 C21,3.582,20.418,3,19.7,3z M8.339,18.338H5.667v-8.59h2.672V18.338z M7.004,8.574c-0.857,0-1.549-0.694-1.549-1.548 c0-0.855,0.691-1.548,1.549-1.548c0.854,0,1.547,0.694,1.547,1.548C8.551,7.881,7.858,8.574,7.004,8.574z M18.339,18.338h-2.669 v-4.177c0-0.996-0.017-2.278-1.387-2.278c-1.389,0-1.601,1.086-1.601,2.206v4.249h-2.667v-8.59h2.559v1.174h0.037 c0.356-0.675,1.227-1.387,2.526-1.387c2.703,0,3.203,1.779,3.203,4.092V18.338z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-raft-fg-alt-color has-raft-bg-inv-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-eb9e49ee9e20902f018c99f1467e6ac6 is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c2b63da3 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-a099c240 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">A generic content title<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This is placeholder text, feel free to replace it with your unique content as it&#8217;s included here just to provide you with a better understanding of how your text will fit in the layout.
