Professional Training to become an ADI

The training is always to a very high standard, and prepares you for every aspect of the test. I would add, that the level of training is by far greater than the actual requirements for the test itself. I would always recommend the DITA team for their dedicated and professional approach to driver training.

First class training

First class training, truly learner focused. The support I have felt across the team in successfully passing my adl 2 has been amazing and Jim has such good patience. I have enjoyed every step so far and can't wait to work through my part 3. I could not recommend the entire establishment for all things driving.

DITA

Passed my part 3 with DITA and I couldn’t speak any more highly of everyone! My instructor Gary was on call whenever I needed help and provided me with all the training and knowledge needed to get to where I am now! Everybody with System are always willing to help out when necessary. If you’re looking to become an instructor then look no further!

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for ALL of those who work hard at System Driving School and all their efforts, which allowed me to pass my part 3 exam, which without them I would not have passed.
Gary and his instructors do a fantastic job, and Kevin and his magnificent team who work behind the scenes keep things running smoothly.
If you want to become a driving instructor, then I definitely recommend the Driving Instructor Training Academy which System Driving School operate. 👍

ADI PART 3 TEST.

During the current situation with COVID 1 to 1 training has been challenging but with the help and support of Gary, Kevin and the wider team my training was delivered in a very professional manner and with a huge amount of support. The training delivered by Gary Battison has been, in my opinion, excellent and was of course instrumental in me achieving my part 3, both remote and where possible 1 to 1 training was both enjoyable and very informative. Thanks.

ADI Part 3 pass

Recently passed my part 3. Would not have been possible without the back up of the System team and especially Gary who was always on hand day or night to assist me and always with a cool head. Really enjoyable experience

Fantastic training from DiTA and System Driving School.

So glad that I decided to train with Gary and the DiTA team after some really positive recommendations from other Instructors.
Gary shared his wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience in an engaging and enjoyable way. Showing me as
a potential driving instructor not only how to excel during all three parts of the ADI training process, but also how and what an Instructor should be striving to offer each future pupil that they train. Gary and the System Driving School team have offered continued unrivalled informal and formal business support and help throughout the training process and afterward as I built my business.

Just past my ADI with System driving school. Due to Covid delays it was a battle but with the support of my Trainer Gary Battison who I can’t thank enough and the System team that are always on hand to help throughout. I would highly recommend this company, so if you thinking of a career change go for it 👍.

Becoming an ADI

After spending 37 years in the motor trade I decided it was time for a change and becoming an ADI was not the first thing I thought of but was definitely the best.
Spoke to a couple of other companies and wasn’t to impressed so decided to call Kevin at system driving school and wished I’d called sooner. After talking to Kevin for a while about the whole process I made my mind up there and then, so arranged to be trained by Gary systems head trainer. The quality of training provided by Gary was outstanding, the whole team at system have supported me from start to finish and couldn’t wish for a nicer bunch of people to work with. Now I’m an ADI system provide’s me with all my pupils, back up and support. Would highly recommend becoming an ADI, training is tough but worth it when you see the smile on a pupils face when they start to drive.
System driving school and Driver instructor training academy is without a doubt the Best.
