What you Can Expect From the ADI Course

To become an ADI you must have held a UK driving license for four years. It is a journey that needs to be driven by two people – the student and the coach. You need the drive, desire and determination to succeed while Inspire provides the skills, passion and determination to ensure that you do.

The qualifying process is in three parts, though it is essential that we view the entire process as one exam. The work we do to prepare for the theory test will stand you in good stead for the part two driving test therefore making the part three easy. This will become clear as we begin training.

Outlined below is a brief description of the qualifying process.

  • Approved Driving Instructor - Part One, Theory Let inspire support you in studying for the theory test. We will provide all training materials, books and hazard perception DVDs. We also stage a mock tests to help finalise your preparations.
    Cost of Part One: £750
  • Approved Driving Instructor – Part Two, Practical Our Part Two preparation takes the form of 16 hours of one-to-one training based around the five good habits of driving, broken into eight sessions two hours.
    You will be required to drive to a very high standard, in a brisk and businesslike manner and on various types of roads. You will also be required to perform all of the manoeuvres that you will be teaching your learners.
    The examiner is assessing your ability to teach, not to drive, and the key to passing this stage is to be consciously aware of the need to demonstrate the information we intend to pass on to our learners.
    Cost of Part Two: £750
  • Approved Driving Instructor – Part Three 40 hours in-car training one-on-one with an Inspire Instructor shows you how to teach learners to drive and fix the mistakes they inevitably make. You will receive a training file with lesson plans and diagrams and sit mock tests to help prepare you for your final exam.
    Cost of Part Three: £1500

    Don’t forget, once you qualify as an ADI you are required by law to maintain your level of performance. Inspire Driver Training leads the way in Continued Professional Development courses.
