ADI TRAINING COURSES
Driving Instructor training courses can be arranged in two ways:
1.Part-time "pay as you go" courses that are conducted at a rate of £45 per hour
2. Full-time intensive course that can be arranged over two separate weeks.
PART TIME (PAY AS YOU GO)
BASED ON AN HOURLY RATE OF £45 PER HOUR
This method of ADI training is ideal for people who wish to train to be an ADI at convenient times around their current jobs.
ADI training is usually arranged in two-hour sessions over a period of weeks.
Please note that this training is on a one to one basis and the amount of ADI training is determined by how quickly you reach the required standard. Most people that we train take between 30 to 40 hours of practical training to become a driving instructor. This equates to approximate ADI training fees of around £1350 to £1800 depending on how quickly you can learn the necessary skills.
**INTENSIVE COURSES
(FULL TIME TWO WEEK COURSES)
Again this is based on the hourly rate of £45 per hour
This course is ideally structured for people who wish to train to be a driving instructor over a much quicker period enabling you to apply for earlier exam dates. The full ADI training course can be spread over two separate weeks. It is however possible to be shortened or varied for people who are already partly trained.
** Please note that two week intensive courses are not always available dependent on waiting periods for exams.
