Book: How to Become an Approved Driving Instructor and set up your own driving school

Written by industry insiders - to help you make the right decisions.

This book is essential reading for the ADI*, the PDI* and anyone who is thinking about becoming a professional self-employed driving instructor.  

Published by How To Books: May 29th 2009

The book was written by ADIs Colin Crane and Paul Pearson who, as a result of owning and running their own individual driving schools, along with their joint business enterprise of Driving School Pro, are driving instructors with years experience at the sharp end of the driving instructor business.  

During one of the weekly DSPro business meetings a discussion took place about the problems and expenses that they had both incurred during their initial ADI training and later when setting up their driving schools. It quickly transpired that there was one thing that they both wished had been available at that time and that one thing was a concise, no-nonsense and honest guide on not only how to become an ADI, but also how to go about establishing and running their own driving schools. This would have helped them avoid the many time-consuming and frustrating pitfalls and kept their training and business costs to a minimum. From this idea the book has evolved.

(*ADI = Approved Driving Instructor  *PDI = Potential Driving Instructor)

 If you are considering and exploring the possibilities of becoming a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor (DSA ADI car) you may find that good, honest unbiased advice is difficult to come by. When setting out on any expensive venture one of the most formidable problems is knowing who to trust, who to turn to for guidance and where to spend your money. Many of the people you seek advice from will have their own agenda and this may not necessarily coincide with yours.

Your agenda will most likely be to become a good and successful ADI, probably in the shortest possible time and definitely for the least financial outlay.  

Their agenda, as business people running a driving instructor training school, will most likely be to hard-sell you a course, convince you that they offer the best, quickest, low-cost training available - and take your money.

There are many excellent and professional driving instructor training businesses in the UK but inevitably there also some that are not so good. Naturally they will all paint a glowing picture of what they are offering.
