Driving Instructor Training
with Nigel Slater
Teaching safe driving for life
You must be over 21 years old and have held a driving licence for over three years, without holding any motoring convictions.
You must also get a criminal record check if you’re applying to become an approved driving instructor (ADI) for the first time.
You cannot use one you have already - you must get a new one.

The DVSA ADI Examination process to become a Driving Instructor, is in 3 parts:
The theory test
This includes multiple choice questions and a hazard perception test. Once you've passed the theory test, you must pass the other parts of the test within 2 years or you'll have to start the whole process again.
The driving ability test
There are 5 parts to the approved driving instructor (ADI) part 2 test: An eyesight check, ‘show me, tell me’ vehicle safety questions, general driving ability, manoeuvres and independent driving
The instructional ability test
A DVSA examiner will watch you give a client-centred driving lesson lasting about 45 minutes to one of your pupils andwill look for evidence that you meet the national standard for driver and rider training.

Nigel will help you track and monitor your progress through the course, completing an evaluation form after each in-car session, thus triggering the next online materials.
What my clients say
Vincent S
"Would just like to say many thanks to Nigel for getting me through my B+E trailer test. Right from the off Nigel was very professional whilst teaching and arranging times dates etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family. So thanks Nigel."
Nicola C
"I thought it sensible to have some instruction in towing a trailer, even though my licence allows me to do so without taking a further test. What a good job I did! Nigel was brilliant, puts you at ease and is patient and has a great sense of humour. I recommend anyone contemplating towing to have some instruction with Nigel. Many thanks."
