Andrew De-Giorgio (known to friends as Deej) is your instructor and you can be assured he knows what he's doing. As well as being a fully qualified driving instructor, Deej has a long history of training and teaching disciplines ranging from skiing to advanced motorcycling, from computing skills to salsa dancing and consequently has a thorough understanding of the learning process and how it can differ depending on the individual.

Deej first became interested in driver training when he studied advanced driving back in 1998 (passing his advanced driving test first time), and quickly followed this by passing his advanced motorcycling test (also first time) and then winning Harrogate Group of Advanced Motorist's "Driver Of The Year" award the next two years running. The respect he earned from his peers was such that he was quickly voted vice chairman of the group and went on to become founding chairman of Harrogate Advanced Bikes advanced motorcycling group, building it from a couple of non-active members into a thriving group of 30+ enthused bikers in just a couple of years.

Over the years, in addition to his DSA Approved Driving Instructor (Car), Deej has achieved:

•   Advanced Driver (Institute Of Advanced Motorists)
•   Advanced Motorcyclist (Institute Of Advanced Motorists)
•   Senior Observer (Institute Of Advanced Motorists)
•   Advanced Driver - Gold Standard (RoSPA)
•   Advanced Motorcyclist - Gold Standard (RoSPA)
•   Diploma in Advanced Motorcycle Instruction (RoSPA)
•   AA Driving School "Driving Instructor Trainer" certification

Deej is also qualified to deliver a BTEC course in Driving Science.
