About me

Let me introduce myself, my name is Ronald Kivits.

After working for several years in Account Management Sales & Purchasing at companies such as Ahold and PostNL, I thought it was high time for something completely different.

Because my passion has always been training, coaching and guiding, I started my training to become a certified driving instructor in October 2017. In 2018 I started my own driving school under the name: ‘New Drivers‘. From 2022 I also passed the exam to be a certified RIS coach/instructor. And in April 2026 I passed my exam to be a RIS 2.0 coach/instructor.
_{RIS stands for ‘Driver Training in Steps’ and is a modular driver course developed in collaboration with the Dutch CBR.}

Unique in the region is that you can take your driving training in a VW Golf e-Hybrid 50 Edition (automatic). A car completely of this time. Better for the environment and state-of-the-art. The Volkswagen Golf e-Hybrid is fully equipped with useful assistance systems that support safe driving.

So, if you think about starting your driving lessons to get your Dutch drivers license, and you want to be instructed by an English speaking driving instructor. And to be able to learn the Theory in an English practice module. Plus take advantage of the pre-lesson modules, also completely in English.
