Phil has been a driver trainer for 20 years having joined the industry to supplement my part time income with Homecare Services NSW. Hisy passion for helping people & training skills were quickly recognised & within a very short time his driving academy became a full time occupation. Phil continued to add to his skills & completed additional training in accident rehabilitation and disabilities. He's conducted workshops with various training colleges & always enjoys speaking at different organisations around the local area. He's taught people to drive from all walks of life & ages and enjoys the variety of a wide clientele base being able to easily relate to anyone & everyone. When aged license assessing for 85 yr olds was finally entrusted to the driving industry Phil was quick to obtain an additional qualification & has felt priviledged to help older drivers maintain their independence & help take the stress out of the test. Out of concern for an upgrade in the driving industry Phil joined the NRMA Safer Driving School team in 2007. He further added to his qualifications when Keys2Drive was launched by the Aust. Gov't in 2009. When the RMS introduced the Safer Driving Course in 2013 Phil qualified as both a facilitator and coach for the course running them on a regular basis with the NRMA in Coffs Harbour. Phil has felt the need to take things at a little slower pace & in order to do so resigned from a 9 yr. association with NRMA and has picked up the reins again of Hannaford's Driving Academy.
