What is ADI Instructor Training

ADI instructor training is a structured program for experienced drivers who want to turn their driving expertise into a professional teaching career. The training covers both theoretical knowledge and practical teaching skills. Candidates are trained to understand driving techniques, hazard perception, road safety rules, and effective learner instruction methods. At First Gear School of Motoring, we provide guidance for all three stages of ADI qualification: the Theory Test, the Part 2 Driving Ability Test, and the Part 3 Instructional Ability Test. Our goal is to ensure trainees are confident, competent, and fully prepared to teach learners safely.

Benefits of Becoming an ADI Instructor
