ADI Training Courses
TRAINING COURSES
Once you have decided that you want to train to become a driving instructor your first step is to arrange an ADI assessment and interview so that we can assess your current skills and your suitability as to the job of an Approved Driving Instructor. This meeting is your chance to ask us any questions about how to become a driving instructor and also the ADI training and your career prospects. The assessment will normally be held at our driving instructor training centre and takes about one hour. You will be assessed on your current knowledge of driving by answering 10 sample ADI questions, we will then look closely at your driving skills by having a short drive with an ADI trainer, and finally we will look at your teaching ability with you being asked to teach a simple driving technique to the ADI trainer who will be role-playing a typical learner driver. You will also be advised as to what the DSA are looking for regarding the general character of an ADI and whether you will need to alter yours in anyway.
This Assessment is totally free and is conducted in a friendly and informal way. Please feel free to come along with a friend or partner if you wish as we believe that it is vital for you to understand as much as possible about how to become an Approved Driving Instructor.
Please note that this assessment is in no way conducted as a sales pitch and you will not be asked or required to make any decisions about your future, it is purely for your benefit to get to know us and for us to be allowed to give you an honest assessment as to your suitability. We promise to answer all of your questions thoroughly and honestly and upon your successful assessment we will supply you with a written guarantee and details of the self employed vacancies at either Expressway Driver Training Ltd or Preston Driving School Ltd, or if you wish, how we can help you set up your own driving school after you become a driving instructor.
THE ADI TRAINING COURSES
Driving Instructor training courses are arranged in either one of three ways:
- Part Time "Pay as you Go" Courses that are conducted at a rate of £30 per hour.
- Local Full Time Intensive ADI Courses are arranged over two separate weeks.
- Residential ADI Training Courses in Blackpool. (Two separate weeks)
- PART TIME (PAY AS YOU GO)
- INTENSIVE COURSES (FULL TIME TWO WEEK COURSES)
- RESIDENTIAL DRIVING INSTRUCTOR TRAINING COURSES IN BLACKPOOL
Based on the hourly rate of £30 per hour.
This method of ADI training is ideal for people who are either part way through their training to become a driving instructor, or for people who wish to train to be an ADI at convenient times around their current jobs.
ADI training is usually arranged in two-hour sessions over a period of weeks.
Please note that this training is on a one to one ratio and the amount of ADI training is determined by how quickly you reach the required standard. Most people that we train take between 30 to 50 hours of practical training to become a driving instructor. This equates to approximate ADI training fees of around £900 to £1500 depending on how quickly you can learn the necessary skills.
Based on the hourly rate of £30 per hour.
This course is ideally structured for people who wish to train to be a driving instructor over a lot quicker period and therefore will be able to apply for any earlier exam dates. The full ADI training course is spread over two separate weeks. It is however possible to be shortened and varied for people who are already partly trained.
Preston Driving Instructor Training Centre conducts residential ADI training courses in Blackpool Lancashire. The ADI courses are held weekly and are arranged over two separate weeks. This type of ADI training is ideal for people who live in all areas of the country and who may wish to train to be a driving instructor over a very quick period. This will then allow them to apply for earlier ADI examinations.
