LOOKING FOR A

GOOD INSTRUCTOR

You should use a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (A.D.I.), who is registered with the Driving Standards Agency. An A.D.I. Green identification certificate will be displayed on the windscreen of the tuition vehicle. Only an A.D.I. Is legally allowed to charge for a driving lesson.

 

A fully qualified A.D.I. Must:

 

     *  Have held a full driving licence for at least 4 years.

     *  Pass a written test lasting 90 minutes.

     *  Pass a strict driving test.

     *  Pass a test demonstrating the ability to instruct.

 

OK, now you know you are looking for a fully qualified A.D.I. But how do you choose?

 

     *  Ask friends or relatives to recommend if possible.

     *  Look for an  instructor who conducts himself or herself in a professional manner.

     *  Choose an instructor who has a good reputation and whose car suits you.

     *  A clean car and tidy instructor is usually a sign they take pride in their work.

 

But be warned......

 

       Think carefully before choosing an instructor that makes extravagant claims - there is no

       such thing as a guaranteed test pass.  

 

       Do not go in search  of the cheapest driving lessons, what you are looking for is value

       for money. Low cost driving lessons often work out more expensive over a period of

       time - would you buy the cheapest car you could find?    

 

       Think twice about paying 10 lessons in advance with an instructor you have not met, a

       trial lesson might be a good idea.

 

       Finally, when enquiring about prices, do ask how much they charge for the use of their

       car for the practical test - you should not pay any more than the cost of a normal

       lesson.
