Professional Driver Training Built On Experience
OUR EXPERIENCE
More Than 30 Years Behind The Wheel
SCARS Advanced Driving was founded by Alf Middleton, whose advanced driving career began in 1993. Based in Pretoria, Gauteng, SCARS provides professional driver training and assessment services across Southern Africa and neighbouring African countries.
Over the years, SCARS has delivered practical, results-driven training to leading organisations across the corporate, mining, government and fleet sectors. Our approach is built around a simple objective: developing competent drivers who are better prepared to deal with the demands of real-world driving.

HOW WE TRAIN
Competence Is Earned, Not Given
Every SCARS training programme is tailored to meet the client’s operational requirements. Our approach combines experienced instruction, practical development and competency-based assessment to prepare drivers for the realities of the road.
[ 01 ]
Experienced Subject Matter Experts
Training is delivered by experienced professionals with practical knowledge of advanced driving and driver development.
[ 02 ]
Practical, Hands-On Driver Development
We believe drivers need more than theoretical knowledge. Practical training allows drivers to develop the skills required to manage real-world driving situations.
[ 03 ]
SAQA-Aligned Programmes
Relevant training programmes are aligned with applicable SAQA Unit Standards where required.
[ 04 ]
Operationally Relevant Training
Training is conducted in practical environments appropriate to the programme, the vehicles involved and the operational requirements of the client.
[ 05 ]
Ethical Assessments
Assessments are conducted against defined competency requirements without compromising the integrity or standards of the assessment process.
[ 06 ]
Competency-Based Certification
Where applicable, certification is based on demonstrated competency rather than simply attending a course.
OUR COMMITMENT
More Than Driver Training
Our objective is not simply to teach people how to drive better.
We help organisations develop safer drivers, protect their vehicles and assets, reduce operational risk and costs, and ultimately save lives.
Let's Prevent It!
Professional driver training is about more than completing a course. It is about developing the knowledge, skills and behaviour needed to help people arrive safely and prevent incidents before they happen.
