# Select Drivers - Balerno
Select Drivers is a driving instruction business based in Balerno, operated by Fiona, a highly qualified and award-winning instructor. The business serves learner drivers in the Edinburgh and Lothians area who are preparing for their practical driving test and those seeking to improve their driving skills beyond the basic test requirements.
What sets Select Drivers apart is Fiona's extensive professional credentials and specialist training. She is a certified Driving Test Nerves Specialist, meaning she can tailor lessons specifically to address driving anxiety and test nerves using proven techniques adapted for nervous drivers. This specialist approach enables students to absorb information more effectively whilst managing the psychological barriers that often hinder learning and test performance.

These memberships ensure she stays current with industry updates and maintains the highest standards of instruction.
Her credentials are further validated by her recognition as the 2024 National Instructor of the Year Award winner for Scotland and the 2026 Silver Award Winner of the Intelligent Instructor of the Year Awards, Scotland. Beyond standard lessons, Select Drivers offers Pass Plus courses for drivers seeking advanced tuition following test success, providing comprehensive driver development beyond the basics.
