ORDIT - Official Register of Driving Instructor Training | Driver Training Ltd | Driving Instructor Training | Driving School

Driver Training Ltd are proud to be on the DSA Official Register of Driving Instructor Training. If your trainer is not ORDIT registered, don't use them!

Prospective driving instructors are advised by the Driving Standards Agency to train to become a driving instructor with an ORDIT registered trainer. ORDIT trainers have undergone very thorough inspections of their work. The DSA Supervising Examiners (ADI) conduct these inspections.

Unfortunately, within this industry, there are a number of very dubious trainers and instructor training groups that have sprung up over the last 5 to 10 years. Some of these trainers are in fact learner driver instructors who have little or no experience of teaching people how to become an instructor, and some training groups seem to be more concerned in getting as many people as possible to hand over large sums of money with little or no incentive to get you qualified. Regrettably, they seem to show more skill at getting your money than they are at training.

How to Choose a Trainer

When paying out good money for instructor training, make sure you are getting the best training possible. Only ORDIT registered trainers have had their work assessed by the Driving Standards Agency, and only these trainers are approved and recommended by the DSA without any exceptions.

Questions to ask:

Are you an ORDIT registered trainer?
Can you show me or send me proof of this?
Can you give me names of instructors who have passed with you?
What is your current pass rate for ADI Part 3?
Will all my training be on a one-to-one basis?
If they guarantee a franchise at the end of the training: How many cars do you have on the road?

Make sure you check out your trainer's history of ADI training by asking for testimonials of people they have trained as many driving schools are putting ADI training in their adverts and in fact may have done very little or none of this training previously. ADI training is very different to learner driver training.

Take the advice of DSA. They advise in their ADI 14 leaflet, "Your road to becoming an Approved Driving Instructor" to check out very carefully and to get the answers in writing to your questions and not to sign anything or pay out for a complete course unless you are sure that the course is what you want. Ask yourself why do they put this in bold print in a government booklet?

ADI Part 3 Training

When you pass your ADI Part 2, you then need to take a minimum of 40 hours extra training before you can get a licence to start teaching. This may take weeks or months, costing you valuable time and money but Driver Training Ltd offer you 1:1 training so that you are not sharing your training with any other students and a choice of training options ranging from 20 two-hour sessions to a one-week intensive course.

Check Test Training

Every so often, all qualified instructors have to undergo a Check Test, a test to confirm their ability to continue to instruct. Experience instructors usually have a Check Test every four years, but newly qualified instructors can expect their first Check Test within 12 months of qualifying.

Check Test preparation can be for either the ADI Check Test or the Fleet Register Check Test. We have helped many ADIs to change their grade. Check Test training should be much more than simply preparing for a test. When you discover how to improve your skills as an instructor, your daily routine will be less stressful and your pass rates will improve. Think about the effect that first class training could have for your business.
