Trainer Testimonials

 Dean,

Having been on a trainee licence for 5 months,failing my first attempt and spending a fortune on the comapny I was training with, I got chatting to an ADI in a test centre who was very impressed and had succeeded with the training you had given him.It was fantastic advice as after the first coffee and informal chat we had I was truly blown away.I new then that Inspire was the way forward and I am so pleased that I did.Your training,dedication and passion for what you do is inspirational and thanks to you on my second attempt I passed with a 6/5.There were times I nearly gave up but you never gave up on me.You have given me foundations to build on and I look forward to attending your CPD courses to help me be the best I can be.Thanks also to Steve Gillingham who helped me when Dean was away and continued to support me throughout.

What a fantastic team

Dean,

Having spent a huge amount of money on Instructor training with a large training company and almost at the point of giving up as I felt the training methods they were using were not working for me,they were using a "buddy system" which in simple terms means two to one training which in reallity means, of the 40 hours training I should have received amounted to twenty as twenty hours were spent in the back observing thereby only receiving twenty hours actual training.Me and my "buddy" both decide to stop training with them.The other person then rang me some weeks later to say she had passed her part three at the first attempt and recommended that I contacted Dean Henson who had completed her training.The training was "one to one" and it was superb as a result I was able to emulate my "buddy" by passing my part three first attempt.This despite the fact that I had not been on a trainee licence.

I attribute that success to the training I received from Dean and thanked my former "buddy" for the recommendaion to train with Inspire.

I would have no hesitation in recommending ADI training with Inspire and in particular Dean Henson the coaching and encouragement I received made all the difference.

Just a note to express my thanks for the superb training and support for the recent(successful)attempt at part 3,ADI.As you know,I have previously received training from other sources,but Inspire proved to be by far the best.I would like to thank Steve Gillingham and Dave Thackwray for all the effort that they put in with me-they were brilliant.

Thanks again for your help.Much appreciated.I'll see you all later for the Fleet Training.

Hi Dean,

I would like to express my appreciation for your company.Since I began training to become an ADI I had heard far too many horror stories regarding various training companies.I must say that I'm very relieved and happy to have been initially put in contact with Inspire.The training was excellent especially since I passed my part 3 first attempt.The standard of training I received from Inspire in particular Dean Henson and Steve Gillingham was first class.It was a pleasure to have met you both.

I found Dean to be a naturally friendly and approachable coach, someone who I respect and admire. He gives support, answers questions and solves your problems. Dean does not necessarily agree with all your ideas, but rather challenges you to think more clearly and take more responsibility for your own development, so that you can achieve greater success in becoming a driver trainer. He is a positive individual who clearly cares about the culture of the driving industry, and someone I would definitely recommend.

Dean is a highly professional, supportive trainer with a great sense of humour and has continued to support me since I qualified. I just wish I had met him sooner. I can't wait to attend any and all of his Continued Professional Development courses.

The quality of this course is without doubt first class. His depth of knowledge and professionalism is something to aspire to. I would not hesitate to recommend Inspire to any ADI wishing to expand their skills within instructor training.

After over 10 years in media I decided on a career change. I wanted to do something rewarding, have flexible working hours and be my own boss, so becoming a driving instructor made sense. I am now a qualified driving instructor thanks to Inspire. The one to one training that I received for part 2 and 3 was challenging, interesting and fun. I would definitely recommend instructor training with Inspire.

Having spent an obscene amount of money with a high profile company, and after two failed attempts at Part 3, I was lucky to hear about Dean and his growing reputation as a respected ADI trainer. I learned more in one session with Dean than I ever did with the other company, where I had spent half of every session in the car observing another student. Having been informed by the previous company I was to get 40 hours in-car training for Part 3, it was not made clear that 20 of these hours would be spent in the back of the car observing.
