FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions people ask before signing up
What are the entry requirements?+
You'll need a full UK driving licence held for at least three years, a clean record with no serious motoring convictions, and to pass DVSA background and character checks. That's the DVSA minimum — if you meet it, our team can take you the rest of the way.
How long does the training take?+
Most trainees qualify within six to twelve months across all three ADI parts. If you go intensive, it can be quicker. We'll build a schedule around your availability rather than force you onto ours.
What does the training actually cost?+
Costs depend on how many hours you need and whether you go intensive or paced — but we keep pricing transparent and offer flexible payment plans so you can spread it. Get in touch and we'll send you a full breakdown before you commit.
What if I fail one of the ADI parts?+
You get up to three attempts at each part — and if any attempt doesn't go your way, we schedule extra training and a retake. No panic, no charge for the moral support, just a plan to close the gap.
Can I start teaching learners during training?+
Yes — once you've passed Parts 1 and 2 you can apply for a trainee ("pink") licence, which lets you charge learners while you complete Part 3. Our team will guide you through the application and set you up with practice hours.
