ADI TRAINING COURSE only £1995

Our ADI training courses are designed to prepare you to enter the industry with all the skills required to build and maintain a successful business.

We don’t just teach you to pass the test.

  • Advice is FREE. We prefer to meet you in person and discuss your situation.
  • From this meeting we discuss your needs and requirements and provide a training plan which suits you.
  • Courses are available either as a fee prior to commencement or in installments.
  • Course materials are provided. Including Highway Code, DSA Know Your Signs, Driving Instructors Handbook and briefing presenter for the Part 3, lesson plans and mock tests.
  • Test fees are additional. Currently Theory test = £90, Part 2 £111, Part 3 £111.
  • Training is one to one. Unlike most training companies.
  • Total of 60 hours training. 20 for Part 2 and 40 for Part 3 (mandatory).

To gain your ADI (GREEN) BADGE, you are required to pass three Qualifying exams:

  • Part 1 – Theory Test - shows the KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING and EXPERIENCE that will be passed on to the pupil.
  • Part 2 - Advanced Driving Test - is your DEMONSTRATION of the TECHNIQUES, SYSTEMS and METHODS that you will teach your pupil.
  • Part 3 – Instructional Ability Test - demonstrates your ABILTY to INSTRUCT your pupil and pass on to them what you have shown in the Part 1 and Part 2 tests. You must have completed 40hrs training in the six months prior to the test.

You must pass all three parts, in order, within a period of two years. If you don't complete them all within that time, you'll need to start again from scratch. You can take the theory test as many times as you need to, but you'll only have three attempts at each of the practical tests within those two years.
