Peter M

(Director, PVET Institute. Trainer & Assessor)

Early in his career, Peter worked in the fields of Electronic Engineering and computers. He has been production and sales manager in a number of Electronic and computer companies; some of his strengths are in the areas of staff training. In the late 1980’s Peter moved from engineering, working as an employer, to self-employment.

His keen desire to continue in the areas of training led him to start a Driving School, hence he established Peters Driving School and North Shore Driving School, to train novice drivers. Over the years, the driving school expanded and for the need of quality trainers for his school, he sought to expand the driving school to include training for driving instructors. At this point, the company that Peter owned was called North Shore Peters Driving School. Peter has also established PVET Institute with the intention of providing new driving instructors with the skills and knowledge to teach young people safe driving for life.
