Everyone Welcome!

Driving Instructor training courses in Rotherham, South Yorkshire to qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) using an automatic car.

To the point driving instructor training. Learn the skills and knowledge you need to be an effective driver trainer.

I teach in a very high specification automatic car.

• I like to train people of all skills and abilities.

• I like to train people with neuro diversity, learning differences and specific educational needs (SEND).

• I like to train nervous and anxious learners.

• I like to train people who are struggling to learn or feeling overwhelmed by their current Potential Driving Instructor (PDI) training programme.

• Free access to an online app to help you prepare for your theory test.

• Free access to an online app to manage your training course, payment history, monitor your progress and lesson notes.

• Ongoing support is available to you after you qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI).

For the right Potential Driving Instructor (PDI) I may sponsor a ‘Pink’ training licence and you may be offered a franchise with me when you qualify. The right person will be a PDI who demonstrates the same values and customer service as myself and who also wants to be the best driving instructor they can be.

Have you ever thought about becoming a driving instructor?

If you drive an automatic car can you train to be a driving instructor? YES YOU CAN.

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

During your training you do not need to learn everything about being an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). I 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.

I 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.

• Qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor.

I love being a driving instructor. I have always been interested in driving and I like to teach and support people. I particularly enjoy teaching people with different needs and learners who are struggling to learn.

I now only work part time hours four days a week. Also, being self employed means I choose when I work. I can take time off when I want to and fit teaching around my other interests and commitments.

Now is an excellent time to train as a driving instructor with me.

• Be your own boss

• Earn your own money

• Fit work around your lifestyle

• Work the hours you want to work, where and when

• Enjoy job security

• Fantastic job satisfaction

  Part 1 Theory

  I will support you in preparing for your Part 1 theory exam. You will have access to an on line theory app. I will also support you by signposting you to other references and sources of information. Theory is linked into your training from session one.

  Part 2 Driving Ability

I am also a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Registered Fleet Driver Trainer (Category B Vehicles). I have also been awarded the RoSPA National Diploma in Advanced Driving Instruction with all parts of the qualifying examinations passed with distinction, City and Guilds Level 3 Award in Teaching and Training and the BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching For Driver Development. I have also attended The QEF Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for disabled people - Teaching People with Disabilities to Drive and the Disability Awareness Course North East Drive Mobility in Conjunction with Driving Mobility.

Pay as you go. You have the flexibility to pay for training as and when you want. You do not need to pay a large sum of money upfront for your training. You do not have to financially commit yourself in case your circumstances change. If you decide it is not for you walk away without penalty.

One to One online Zoom training available.

Train how you want to train

Train how you want to train. My preferred training approach links theory, driving and instructional ability together from you first training session. However, I can also offer you bespoke training to meet your specific needs. For example, standalone Part 1, 2 and 3 training. You can concentrate on what you would like to learn. Perhaps you want to focus on each part of the qualifying ADI exams until passed. Maybe you do not want any help for Part 1 but would like to focus on Parts 2 and 3 during your training. It is up to you. I also offer a choice of blended training including a mixture of in car, online Zoom and email support.

I can also provide you with basic business mentoring. I will tell you what you need to know to set up your own driving school.
