Passed my ADI part 1 test today.

Passed my ADI part 1 test today.
The DITA came highly recommended to me and I have been training with them since May 23.
The training has been enjoyable ,informative and of a high standard .
I have been allocated a trainer Jim who has provided me with all the training material needed to pass the part 1 whilst at the same time he has been getting me prepared for my part 2 test during my practical lessons.
Jims a great guy …easy to get along with and puts you at ease.
A knowledgeable trainer with an abundance of experience and advice.
It was also comforting to know that the academy are always on hand to answer any questions that I may have or if I needed any help or extra training it could be arranged no problems.
I took early retirement from a company this year after 35 years.
I thought about trying something new as I am too young to totally retire and a career as a driving instructor fitted the bill.
I’ve seen in the media that there is a shortage of ADIs so if anyone is interested I would recommend that you give them a try.

Great lessons and instruction from Jim. Great wealth of knowledge, lots of discussion about different points- no question is too silly. Jim is very easy to get along with and made the lessons enjoyable and made me feel at ease throughout.

ADI Part3 test - Passed

I’ve passed my ADI Part3, happy days! 🥳
Many many thanks to Gary Battison, my ORDIT instructor who has guided me through the whole process. He really does practice as he preaches, adjusting to my learning style whenever needed so i could take on the knowledge and skill’s, not only just pass the tests, but be a good instructor!
I also want to give a special shout to everyone at the office that has supported me so far, it really makes a difference knowing a team of experts have got your back when needed. 👍

Excellent training and support

From day 1 was made to feel part of the team the support from all the guys in the office was fantastic no matter what the problem they are always willing to help

Training with Gary has been so much fun and he really helped me make it through this. Even when I started doubting myself (which was quite a bit) he was able to build up my confidence and press on

Would 100% recommend system driving school to anyone looking to train as a ADi
or just learning to drive

Driving instructor training

the training I have received from DITA was fantastic, I had Gary as my trainer and he made things clear and understandable from the begining, helping me pass both part one and part two adi tests, and role playing as pupil and instructor really helped me prepare for passing my adi part 3, along with virtual classes and classroom sessions, Gary and team were also readily available to answer any questions or problems I had when teaching as a pdi.

The training was also flexible and worked around my schedule, I would highly recommend DITA to those thinking of training to become a driving instructor

First class tuition!

My journey to becoming a qualified ADI has been made so much easier from the dedication, expertise and support from my trainer Gary B. I passed all 3 parts of the qualification exams on my first attempt which is testament to tuition received along with hard work together. I can't thank everyone from DITA enough and look forward to my future with System Driving School

I can't fault the team, from my 1st engagement until today when i passed my ADI 2, the guidance, support and training has been so professional.
