M8 Driving School was started back in February 2008 by Steven Porter. The business has grown since then into one of Renfrewshire’s most popular Driving Schools!
Since passing his tests to become an instructor, he has continued to improve his skills and qualifications by attending countless courses and conferences.
Steven is an approved driving instructor, fleet, NDORS (National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme) and SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) trainer. He also holds a F1RST advanced driving qualification recently aquiring the Masters with distinction from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM Roadsmart).
Steven has also passed a PTTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) qualification (City & Guilds Teaching), a BTEC level 4 coaching in driver education, has attended The University of East London for driver development and is a Practitioner in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic programming).
In the last few years Steven has been heavily involved with The Motor Schools Association of Great Britain currently the deputy chairman for Scotland working along side some of the biggest names in the industry.
Paul has been teaching in the Renfrewshire area for over 10 years now with many past pupils raving on social media about how calm and relaxing he is during their driving lessons.
