How to become a driving instructor

To become an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), you must be over 21, hold a clean driving licence for at least three years, and pass a DBS check. Then, it's a three-part DVSA exam process: a theory test, a practical driving test, and finally, a test of your instructional ability. Once you pass, you can join the ADI register and begin your rewarding new career.

This path requires a significant investment of time and effort, but the payoff is immense. You'll gain a flexible career with the satisfaction of helping people achieve a significant life milestone. As a qualified ADI, you'll be your boss, setting your schedule and building a business you're proud of.

Your journey to success

To maximise your chances of success, it’s vital to get the right support. A quality trainer will give you a clear roadmap, tailored feedback, and expert guidance. They will help you refine your teaching skills, manage challenges effectively, and gain confidence. Let me help you on your journey—together, we can get you on the road to a brilliant new future. I provide comprehensive training that's designed to prepare you for every stage of the exam process and beyond. From in-depth theory lessons to practical driving sessions and coaching on instructional techniques, my goal is to equip you with the skills and confidence not only to pass the tests but also to excel as a professional instructor.

Welcome to my Site

Hi Guys welcome to my site!

As an Ordit registered trainer I am very passionate about providing the best training I can possibly deliver. I have dedicated many hours, days and weeks in developing my own knowledge. In this way I can make sure you have the best possible chance of gaining the result you need.

But it does not end there!

Since qualifying myself I have discovered that this career path, though very rewarding, does come with certain challenges that perhaps my initial training did not prepare me for. One can have have all the knowledge in the world which is great but as a trainer one needs to be able to successfully pass that on to one's trainees. As an ADI, it is important to pass this knowledge on to your pupils. Whilst the training I undertook helped me deliver a lesson to a DVSA examiner who was role playing, it did not provide me enough help to be able to deal with the real world.

Every learner driver or trainee you will meet is an individual and will bring different challenges to the training sessions which will need overcoming. Personally, I soon discovered that I needed to be very adaptable if I was going to be succesful in delivering the best training I could for them. Perhaps the biggest surprise to me was how independant you become even if choosing a franchise route. Each training session is just you and your pupil with no one sat over your shoulder monitoring what you are doing and pointing out your failings. So it is very easy to become great at being bad!

Once qualified I will provide support throughout your career and always be at the end of the phone or email to help with advice and tips to develop both your career and your driving school. As well as being an Ordit registered trainer I am also a grade 6 or A grade ADI and a Fleet registered trainer too, running a successful driving school

Why pick me as your trainer?

Now that is an interesting question and I could go on about a high pass rate and tell you I am one of the top trainers in the country and perhaps try and guarantee you results! However I am not going to do any of those things but simply invite you to get in touch, have a chat and arrange a free initial session to meet me and decide if you feel I would be the trainer that will help you get the green badge you desire or if already qualified the better grade you crave at your Standards check.

The truth is no one can promise or guarantee a pass as only you can sit the different tests involved. So that pass or fail is very much your responsibility and starts by finding the right trainer who will help bring out the instructor in you.
