So you want to become a Driving Instructor. A good choice, but is it the right choice?
If you think it should be easy because "you think you are a good driver and that it can't be that hard to get someone through a test" then it's the wrong choice.
If you have a desire to teach people to drive safely for the rest of their life then read on, as it probably is the right choice.
Becoming a Driving Instructor may well mean a complete change of
lifestyle. It can be daunting not having an employer, as all Driving
Instructors are self-employed (even those working under a driving
school). You need a business head as well as a teacher's head. You
need to be a mentor and a guide to your students who are relying on
you. You need to be professional, dedicated and have a strong desire
to succeed.
Does this sound like you? Not everybody can be a Driving Instructor and we at A.D.S. (Scotland) Ltd make no promises that you will become one, even if you do start the training course. What we can do is offer an assessment and based on this we can advise you as to which choice is the correct choice for you.
Read on for some information about the role of the Driving Instructor and information on the training course. Once you have read this and believe that you still want to become a Driving Instructor then please call us free on:

The role of a Driving Instructor is both challenging and very rewarding. Although it seems like a cliché there is no better feeling than seeing the smile on the face of someone you have helped to gain a driving licence.
If that sense of achievement wasn't enough, look at some of the other
benefits of becoming a Driving Instructor.
-
You can be your own boss.
-
You choose the hours you work.
-
You decide when to have holidays.
-
You can earn £30,000 (gross) for a 30-hour week.
The opportunities for a qualified Instructor are endless - all it takes is a little imagination and a desire to succeed.
There are numerous fields in driver training which you can work - L Test, Instructor Training, Fleet Training, Off Road Training, PCV or HGV Training to name but a few.
In fact anybody who drives any type of vehicle needs an Instructor.
A strong desire to succeed is the first step on the road to becoming a DSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). If you are determined and prepared for hard work then A.D.S. (Scotland) Ltd can provide the complete training package to help you become an ADI.
Paying for a PDI Training course does not guarantee that you will become an ADI despite the false claims of "guaranteed passes" offered by some training companies. It takes a structured course, sound knowledge and an experienced trainer. We can guarantee you that - the rest is up to you.
So why not give us a call to arrange your training and you too can be…

Part 1 - £375
A complete home study course with tutor support, including the following:
-
4 Workbooks covering each band of the ADI syllabus.

A 100-question pre-test and a further Mock Test.

Plus all these essential reading materials:

15 hours of tuition on a one to one basis designed to help the student achieve the required standard to pass the ADI part 2 - Driving Test.
The standard required is very high. On the test you must satisfy
the examiner on your:
-
Expert handling of the controls
-
Application of correct road procedure.
-
Anticipation of the actions of other road users and take the appropriate action.
-
Sound judgement of speed, distance and timing.
-
Consideration for the convenience and safety of other road users.
Part 3 - £1600
40 hours of tuition, again on a one to one basis designed to help achieve the required standard to pass the ADI part 3 - Teaching Test.
Again the standard required is very high. You must demonstrate your ability to pass on your knowledge through practical teaching. The examiner playing the role of a student learning to drive tests this.
Your training will guide you in how to structure the lessons, pass on your knowledge and how to correct any faults, which the "student" may make.
Each stage is paid for separately. This means that you can spread
the cost of your training and also means that you do not have to pay
for training that you do not receive if you fail at the Part 1 or
Part 2 tests. Unlike some training companies who charge between £2500 and
£3000 for less training hours and have a no refund policy.
