An Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) is someone registered with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and is certified to be able to deliver an approved standard of driving tuition.
Potential Driving Instructors (or PDIs) need to take three examinations in order to become an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). These examinations are; a theory test, a driving ability assessment and an instructional ability test. PDIs that have passed the first two examinations can apply for a trainee license, allowing them to legally start earning an income from driving tuition. |

There are a number of schools and organisations that offer instructor training. When evaluating your training options, you may like to consider choosing a school or instructor trainer registered with the Official Register of Driving Instructor Training (ORDIT). Find your nearest ORDIT trainer.
For the right person, there can be some attractive benefits in a career as a driving instructor, including; flexible working hours, self employed status and a good salary.
The decision to become a driving instructor is often driven by a desire to completely change careers or to become your own boss. However, some people try the life of a driving instructor for a few months and simply decide it's not for them.
Contract hire is often the best choice for instructors in training, as a contract length of as little as seven months is far less risky than a significant initial outlay of cash - or a hire purchase agreement lasting several years.
