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.
