a2om TIME The a²om curriculum is founded on 20 years of driver behaviour research and development from leading universities. Instead of the usual 'one size fits all' approach to driving instruction, we tailor our tuition to the individual.

Poor driver behaviour is the cause of 95% of car crashes: a²om's teaching is based on the belief that behaviour and attitude are as important as skills.

a²om attitude is a pioneering online psychometric test to profile your child's specific behavioural tendencies related to driving.

The findings of this test are then translated into a bespoke training programme for your child, targeting his or her main risk areas.

The frontal lobe of the brain does not mature until the age of 25. It is why young drivers are more likely to have a car crash.

a²om mind is an award-winning neuroscientific PC-based brain stimulation programme. Novice drivers respond to footage of risky scenarios as they would in real driving situations. Response times (up to 30% slower than older drivers) are improved using instant feedback.

a2om driving The a²om programme blends in-car teaching with classroom and online sessions to deliver world-class training. Our curriculum is designed to encourage self-development and assessment via group discussions, driving diaries and personal development plans.

a²om offers the most flexible environment to support driver learning, including periodic assessment, e-lectures, interaction with other a²om students personal learning space within the a²om highway network.

Passing the driving test is only a preliminary step on the a²om course. Research shows that crash rates fall by half over the first 250 miles and by two thirds over the first 500 miles of driving. At this most critical point in a driver's life, our post-test training – provides further tuition including motorway and night time driving drastically reducing the risk of an accident. Students also have the option of spending time at a specialist driving campus to improve their driving skills in adverse weather conditions.

Our university-trained tutors are drawn from the top 3% in the country and are led by the UK's leading youth driving expert. All our tutors are CRB and DSA registered and supported to undertake continuous professional development. Our students learn to drive in Audi A3 and BMW 1 vehicles - further proof of a²om's commitment to delivering the very best in driving instruction.

life:rewarded

The a²om course is offered throughout the year at home or at school, to suit the student's own timetable. Our curriculum exceeds even the EU's most stringent safe driving instruction criteria, ensuring that our graduates will be amongst Europe's best and safest drivers.

All graduates of a²om qualify for a range of valuable privileges, including recognition by insurance companies, life membership of the a²om club and eligibility for future family enrolment.

Ultimately, the strongest reason for enrolling your children with a²om is also the simplest: the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they are receiving the most comprehensive preparation available for the road in the UK.

Royal & SunAlliance is pleased to endorse the a2om academy.

"Following a review of a2om's curriculum we encourage concerned parents to consider this company for their children's driving education needs.

The academy's holistic approach goes a long way to implement the thinking and measures required to enhance the driving abilities of young people, and above all help equip them to drive safely for life."
