Train with us

With our training, you won’t just reach the level that’s required of you - you’ll become a fully qualified driver and instructor of real skill. And you’ll be equipped with the means to run a successful business afterwards, through training that’s a combination of technical guidance and business development.

Our driving instructor trainers are all registered with ORDIT (Official Register of Driving Instructor Trainers). These are the only type of trainer the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) recommend.

Before we begin, you just need to make sure you have the following:

• A full, valid licence, including no more than 6 points, which you have held for at least 3.5 years.
• Need to undertake a CRB check.
• The ability to read a registration plate from 27.5 metres (90 feet) away.

How we’ll do it.

Your course is broken into 3 distinct parts, allowing a natural progression

.

Part 1: Theory and hazard perception

You can learn this first part either from home or in the classroom. Whichever method you decide is best for you, we’ll provide you with all the materials and support you need.

Your test

Your test consists of multiple-choice questions with a minimum pass mark. There’s also a hazard perception part involving video clips, again with a minimum required score. You’ll need to pass both sections in the same sitting to move on.

Part 2: Driving Ability

We help you achieve the advanced driving levels you’ll be needing through up to 12 hours of in-car training, with a mock test to help you prepare.

Your test

You’ll begin with a test of your eyesight, followed by show me/ tell me questions and a 1-hour practical test. During this, you’ll need to perform manoeuvres and demonstrate a high technical driving standard.

Part 3: Instructional Ability

We help you develop the skills you need to train your pupils the right way. We’ll provide you with 40 hours of theory and practical training, including a helpful mock test.

Trainee licence

When you’ve completed your 40 hours’ training, you can apply for a trainee licence and take up a franchise with us to start earning before you’ve even passed. To help you with this, you will need to complete an extra 20 hours of training.

Your test

A 1-hour practical will examine your instructional ability and technique. In role-play scenarios, you’ll be asked to teach 2 lessons of differing ability. You’ll need to pass both sections in the same sitting. Then you’re all done!

How long will it take?

Our standard training period varies from just 3 months right up to a year. This flexible approach offers you the freedom of learning around your other commitments.

Can’t wait?

If starting your new career just can’t wait, we can have you up and running in next-to-no time with our intensive 9-week option. Offering you all our usual guidance and support, we’ll help you gain the skills you need and the career you want in a fraction of the usual time.
