Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Caledonian enough! I have just passed my part 3 test first time and am now an Advanced Driving Instructor, thanks to the commitment and expertise of my training manager Mark Allan and Stewart Lochrie. They worked tirelessly to adapt our training over this last year given all the delays and pandemic restrictions, a great company!

I purchased the standards check training module from Caledonian Driver Training as I had a standards check coming up. There’s about 22 video clips lasting about 10 minutes each ,Stewart explains all the 17 competencies in great detail and I now have much more knowledge of the marking system. This is an invaluable tool for helping you with Cpd and achieving your standards check grade and lots more , definitely good value, thanks Stewart

Delighted to share that I passed my Part 3 exam this afternoon so now a fully qualified Advanced Driving Instructor! Many thanks to Stewart Lochrie, Mark Allan & Andy Mac Farlane, Caledonian Instructor Driver Training, without whom my success could not have happened so swiftly. They have gone over & beyond for all trainee instructors even through a difficult pandemic. Thanks so much!

Good Standards Check

I wish I had contacted Stewart before my first Standards Check. I found the training really positive and helpful and I have now passed. Thanks for the skills and the confidence.

I can honestly recommend Caledonian LTD, I'm now a fully qualified instructor. I was trained by Mark Allen who was trained by Stewart lochrie, both very experienced, helpful and friendly. I would never have been able to become an instructor without the training, help and support from the team at Caledonian. If you want the best training then definately contact them.

I passed my standards test today 4 Jan18 with a grade A 47/51. It was my first one for 10 years. I could not have passed this without the standard test training from Stewart Lochrie. The training was second to none, and Stewart updated me with all the new methods of tuition and without his training there is no doubt I would have struggled. For any instructors struggling with the standard test, I have to say it was the best investment for a long time. I would give a very strong recommendation to any instructors looking for further development, and I wouldn't hesitate to access further training from Stewart. Thanks very much for all your help.

Standards Check Training

Feel I must leave a positive review here, as an experienced Instructor I went into SC almost casually, took the wrong pupil ( too good, too quiet) and had little to do..not good, swallowed my pride and contacted stewart, he was so positive and helpful showing me what had changed, and equally ,what had not!!..resat it and achieved an "A" I learned from stewart that I am a good teacher, I just honed a few things..highly recommended!

Standards check

I recently had my standards check and passed with an A. Without the training provided by Stewart Lochrie this would not have been possible. I would recommend any ADI needing up to update training to use Stewart as he is a fantastic trainer and a really good person. Stewart puts you at ease and will provide you with the tools to get the job done. Thanks Stewart the grade A means a lot and I will continue to use you to further my development in the near future.

Well Worthwhile Training Day

Spent a day with Stewart learning about Client Centred Learning and the new standards check! Found it a very worthwhile day and money well spent, and have gained priceless knowledge on this subject which will hopefully pass on to my clients!! Delivered clearly and professionally by Stewart and can't wait for my next course!!
