Choosing a Trainer

This is the first and most important decision you will make on your road to becoming a Driving Instructor. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to help ensure you make the right decision.

Do’s

Go to the DSA web site - Instructors / ORDIT Register.
Visit all ORDIT Trainers in your area.
Look for a training provider who has a quality control system to monitor the performance of their Trainers.
Look for a training provider who, as part of their quality control system, provides Parts 2 and 3 mock testing by an impartial third party.
Look for a training provider with a proven track record of consistently delivering quality training.

Don’ts

Sign up or agree to anything until you’ve seen all the likely candidates and have had time to reflect on what’s on offer.
Believe offers of unlimited Parts 2 and 3 training in exchange for an upfront fee. It sounds too good to be true because it is too good to be true.

Instructor Training

What our clients say...

“As a PDI I gained no success with the training at a former establishment. Happy Hour was recommended to me and after training with them I successfully passed the Part 2 and 3 exams. As a qualified ADI, I now work for Happy Hour where I find support and encouragement is always at hand.”

Craig McKissock, ADI
