Learn to Drive - Learn CPR


Learn to Drive, Learn CPR – How DTMK Is Changing the Game



At DTMK, we believe learning to drive is about far more than just getting from A to B.  It’s about responsibility, awareness, and being prepared for whatever life puts in front of you.  That’s why we’ve launched something completely new in Milton Keynes: the “Learn to Drive, Learn CPR” initiative.


Every learner who trains with DTMK Driving School will now have the chance to gain a life-saving skill alongside their driving lessons, free of charge.  It’s our way of turning new drivers into confident, capable bystanders who could one day make all the difference in an emergency.




Why We’re Doing It



We see it all the time: new drivers gaining independence, but without ever being taught what to do if they arrive first at a road traffic collision or if a passenger becomes unwell.  That gap in knowledge could cost valuable time and possibly lives.


By combining driver education with practical first aid training, we’re closing that gap.  Every new driver who joins us will be offered a short CPR and defibrillator awareness session, run by our own Qualsafe approved training centre, DTMK Training Services.


These sessions are designed to be simple, practical, and confidence building.  In just a short time, learners discover how to recognise a cardiac arrest, call for help effectively, perform chest compressions, and use an AED safely and correctly.




What Learners Can Expect



Our CPR sessions aren’t long courses.  They’re short, focused introductions that fit easily around driving lessons.  Learners can attend at one of our training venues or at a community session, with flexible booking through our website.


During the session, learners will:


  • Practise CPR on professional quality manikins

  • Learn how to use an AED (defibrillator)

  • Find out how to keep themselves safe at the scene of an incident

  • Discover how to work as part of a team during an emergency



We make it engaging, interactive, and relevant to real world driving scenarios.




Part of a Bigger Picture



“Learn to Drive, Learn CPR” is part of our wider Bystanders to Lifesavers campaign, helping build safer roads and stronger communities across Milton Keynes and beyond.  Whether it’s a learner driver, parent, or passer-by, we want everyone to have the confidence to step forward when it matters most.


As one of the few local providers offering both driver training and regulated first aid qualifications, DTMK Limited is in a unique position to make this connection between driving safety and life saving skills.




Get Involved



If you’re learning to drive with us, you’ll automatically be invited to one of our upcoming CPR sessions.  And if you’ve already passed with DTMK, you’re welcome to join in too.  Simply visit training.dtmk.co.uk to find a session near you.


Together, we can create a generation of safer, more responsible drivers who know what to do in an emergency, both behind the wheel and beyond it.
