About Woodlands School of Motoring 

My name is Phil Woodland and I started Woodlands School of Motoring as an independent driving school in Dorchester in 1997.

The majority of my learner drivers pass their practical driving test first time because I teach them how to drive not just how to pass their test.

For this reason, I do not employ any other instructors as I prefer to ensure all my clients receive the same high level of tuition as the reputation of my driving school is very important to me.



For information on why you should choose a qualified driving instructor www.direct.gov.uk.




I am a fully qualified driving instructor (ADI) approved by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and undergo regular check tests to confirm the standard of my tuition.



I am also a PASS PLUS registered instructor - something I strongly advise to all my newly qualified drivers as it not only gives them valuable additional driving experience (including motorway driving) but also a substantial discount on their insurance premiums.





As a member of the Driving Instructors Association (DIA), I have Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.





I am also a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and a member and observer for the Dorset Group of Advanced Motorists.
