Why FQ Driving Academy

Taking a lesson with Eric in 2016
My name is Francis Quarm, and I’m the founder of FQ Driving Academy.
The story begins back in 2011 after I successfully passed the qualifying exams to be an ADI (An Approved Instructor). As a sole trader of the business, I was responsible for managing the day-to-day activities.
FQ Driving Academy had been an active driving school from 2011 until 2017 when I had an opportunity to with another business venture in May of that year.
I decided to change the website into a resource website.
Most of the content is my experience as a driver, and an instructor – the other specific information like Learning to Drive or Car Theory Test comes from the DVSA (the people in charge of driving and licencing in the UK).
