ADI training FAQs
Whilst learning to become a driving instructor is an exciting opportunity, it is also a big commitment. To help you make the right decision we’ve pulled together some of the most common questions below.
If you have further questions, get in touch to book a chat with Howard.
Yes – everything needed to support your learning is included. You’ll get 40 hours of one-to-one, in-car training – plus online access to our DIT Kit virtual study materials, which provide another 40 hours of tuition.
No. Sorry, but ADI qualifying test fees will be payable to the DVSA when you book your tests. It was almost too good to be true!
Yes! If you buy our course now for £2600 you’ll save £520 off the monthly payment plan investment of £3120.
It usually takes between three and six months to qualify as a driving instructor in the UK. Most of our students take one four-hour class every week so will typically complete the 40 hours of in-car training in around 3 to 4 months.
However, once you’ve passed your Part 2 test, you can start earning whilst you continue to learn. The PDI trainee licence gives you six months to gain important teaching experience before you take your final Part 3 exam to become an approved driving instructor.
This is subject to availability because Howard is the only driving instructor trainer at How-2-Drive. We think it’s important to make sure you’re trained by the very best ORDIT trainer rather than a stand-in.
Give us a call so we can discuss your availability and agree a plan to suit you.
Unfortunately not – you will need to be driven to pass your ADI qualifying tests. Provided you have the determination, your best bet is to train with a top-drawer ORDIT-registered instructor trainer.
Just like with anything else in life if its worth having, you’ll have to work hard for it. If you have the drive, Howard will be there to help you every step of the way!
Firstly, we only use DVSA ORDIT-registered trainers to deliver your course. That’s how we achieve pass rates that are higher than the national average.
Secondly, over the past 16 years, we’ve helped hundreds of people to become fully-qualified driving instructors (many of whom have gone on to join our school of motoring). We know what it takes – and how to coach you to avoid the mistakes that will hold you back.
However, success is not easy! You’ll have to work hard to pass all three ADI tests. But, by taking our training course and applying yourself, there is no reason why you too can’t succeed!
Your in-person instructor training will be conducted in a specialised training vehicle, taking in all the actual test routes in Norwich.
The local experience you gain as a result will give you an extra advantage when it comes to taking your ADI tests!
Howard is your DVSA ORDIT-registered trainer who will be delivering all of your in-person training. He is also a Grade A driving instructor so you’re in very good hands!
You can meet Howard in person before you decide to go ahead with your instructor training course. That’s the best way to make sure you’re getting the right person to help you succeed!
Yes, you will! We have a great driving school franchise package for you. Whether you choose to work full-time or part-time, we’ll fill your diary with all the pupils you need.
Absolutely! All 40 hours of in-car training is delivered on a one-to-one basis so you’ll never have to share your classes with anybody else.
You will also receive a further 40 hours of virtual tuition as well as the opportunity to meet other potential instructors who are on the same journey. This will give you the opportunity to buddy up with other trainees for additional practice and support.
