Interested in becoming a qualified ADI driving instructor?

I have been an ADI for over 35 years, it will give you a huge sense of pride taking people from scratch to finish and along the way meet friends for life. It will allow you to structure your business as you want, work the hours you want and take holidays when it’s good for you. Most of us are our own bosses and love the ability to control our own future.

If you want to call and talk it all through then give me a call and possibly before you start the process below, take advantage of the assessment to confirm where your strengths and weaknesses are before you commit to the process. The assessment will also give you a much more accurate idea of the costs involved.

Part 1 – Theory

This is the theory test which is mostly all down to you, but I can put you in the right direction if you need some help. Once passed the certificate is valid for 2 years to give you the time to take part 2 and then part 3 in good time.

Part 2 – Own Driving

Your own driving, this is tricky! You will need to pass the driving test at a high standard (much higher than for the car licence entitlement) and gain no more than 6 minor faults. Should you fail this for a third time then you will have to retake part 1 again and no sooner than 2 years from when you passed the first time! Most of my candidates have either taken it once or twice and then my phone rings but the pressure is much greater as they are running out of opportunities. My advice is to take advantage of a 2 hour assessment (£100) before you take the first test so that I can look at your driving, assess your strengths, weaknesses and create a bespoke training package if you want to continue with more training.

Part 3 – Instructional Capability

Instructional capability, part 2 was tricky, this is the hardest part! Sorry, but once you have it then you have an amazing profession for life. Nothing good comes without hard work!

Important Information

I have met most of my candidates at this point as I worked with them for part 2 but not all. Once again, I would recommend the 2 hour assessment (£100) so that I can set a lesson, role play your pupil and give you advice on the next steps. Most candidates will now apply for their trainee licence (last for 6 months) during which time they can charge for driving lessons and combined with myself prepare for the Part 3 test.

According to government statistics (ending March 2022) the average first time pass rate for Part 1 is 45.2%, Part 2 was 59.6% and Part 3 was 35.3%
