Your initial training course is only the start. Once you are qualified you have access to Post Foundation Courses (PFCs) which will help you to further build upon the foundations you already have and help you to be the best you can be.

Are you are fed up with your current job? Do you crave a career change where you will feel valued and make a real difference to other people?
— Alistair Stuart ADI

I provide a Driving Instructor Training Foundation Course based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire to help and support you pass your ADI Parts 1, 2 and 3 qualifying examinations.

My Unique Selling Point? My Driving Instructor Training Foundation Course will help and support you to learn and develop the key skills you actually need to qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).

During your training you do not need to know everything about being a driving instructor. My Foundation Course will provide you with the solid foundation you need to qualify as an ADI and also help you to develop the core, focussed, skills you need to be an effective driver trainer without overloading you with anything you do not actually need to know at this stage of your driver trainer career.

“You do not need to feel overwhelmed by your training to be successful.”
— Alistair Stuart

After you have qualified, and start to practice as a driving instructor, my Post Foundation Courses (PFCs) will support you by focussing on the key knowledge and skills you need to continue to develop your professional practice. PFCs will help you develop the skills you already have, introduce new skill sets, create learning opportunities and develop new ways of thinking to help you to be the best driver trainer you can be.

Not all driving instructor training courses are the same. My Driving Instructor Training Foundation Course will help you to:

  • Focus on learning the knowledge you need to know at this stage of your career.

  • Practice the key skills you need to develop to become an effective driver trainer.

  • Integrated training from the start for teaching learners with special and different educational needs.

  • Qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor
