Fantoni Driving School

My name is Dan Fantoni, Principle driving instructor at Fantoni Driving School. I’ve always enjoyed driving, starting with sixth form road trips, to now enjoying trips around the Yorkshire countryside with my young family. and It is this enjoyment and in helping others reaching their goals, that led me to becoming an Approved Driving Instructor and setting up Fantoni Driving School in 2008. I am a grade A driving instructor. This officially recognises my driving lessons to be of the highest available standard. This spot check is carried out by the Driving Standards Agency. The majority of other driving instructors don’t achieve this standard. I was also trained by Phil Hirst, arguably the finest driving instructor trainer in the country. I am lucky enough to have him on my doorstep in Harrogate. Keen to continue my own development and be a step ahead, I have gained a number of non-essential but highly beneficial qualifications which many other instructors have not. I have recently completed BTEC Level 4 in Coaching for Driver Education through the Tri-Coaching Partnership leading to a Diploma in Driving Instruction from the DIA. These are some of the most advanced driver coaching qualifications available and the majority of other driving instructors don’t carry these qualifications.
