Life Skills Academy
Life Skills Academy at the former North Kyme Primary school, will be a centre of excellence for the delivery of road craft skills, this will positively influence driving behaviour, achieve a standard of driving and associated knowledge that far exceeds the standard set by the basic driving test.
We will work in Partnership with schools and colleges and local communities, aiming to provide training to 16-18 year olds who are either in full/ part time education or who otherwise can be encouraged to take part. Those who successfully complete the training programme will be issued with a Life Skills Diploma.
The centre will also be available to provide training to other vulnerable groups including:
- Business drivers
- Mature drivers
- Drivers who would have otherwise been prosecuted for offences relating to speeding or careless driving
- Training for the emergency services
- Community events to support local people who use the roads of Lincolnshire
The aim is to provide a standard training for road users that will help further reduce collisions in Lincolnshire over the next 10 years.
