Run by Chris Brogden, a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor with over 20 years of professional driving experience including police response driver training, the school specialises in comprehensive manual transmission tuition using a modern 2022 VW Golf.
Chris delivers structured, client-centred coaching that combines thorough instruction with a relaxed, patient approach.

He prioritises creating an unpressurised learning environment where pupils develop both technical competence and genuine confidence before taking their test.
Fully CRB checked and approved, CGM Driving Tuition focuses on producing safe, competent drivers rather than simply passing tests—though the impressive pass rates suggest these goals align perfectly.
