The one thing that never ceases to amaze me when it comes to people who want to become a driving instructor, is how many times people will not do any “homework” on their training. For example going and finding a focal point from the passenger side for left and right reverse. No matter how good the trainer or the the training, going away and becoming familiar with the pst and your car is essential in your driving instructor training.

After all if you are paying for your part 3 exam and on top of that are paying

The key to becoming a driving instructor, is to know what you are letting yourself in for. A lot of national colleges or schools of motoring rely on their reputation or brand image, rather than on there actual results or pass rates. Of course a lot depends on the individual and how much time and effort he is willing to put in, but by far the biggest reason for people not going through the test is the poor standard of Instructor training.

Let’s get some thing straight from the start shall we -

You should never use anyone who isn’t ORDIT registered. That’s the Official Register of Driving Instructor Trainers (even the DSA tell you that)

You should NEVER do training on a 2 - 1 or 3-1 basis!!! You have paid thousands to watch someone else become an instructor????

You should NEVER go for a part 2 test in an area you are not familiar with.

You should never go for a part 3 Instructor exam “to see what it’s like”!!!

You should NEVER go for a part 3 exam “hoping you do not get pst…..”

If you have or are doing any of these with your trainer….dump them now!! They are only doing it for the money.

All training should be on a one to one basis and if you are not comfortable with certain pst sheets you should not have been put in for test. If you want to become a driving instructor in wolverhampton or just want more training for part 2 or 3 why not call us free today and see how we can help?

When it comes to the controls lesson on the pst’s. Most people give it little or no thought, yet this is one of the most hazardous parts of the test. As most people give it the least amount of preparation.

Very often the attitude is “i know what a seat does”, “I know how the seat belt works”

Great you might do, but onre of the most common faults is not setting the “base line” or finding out what the person knows. The amount of times i have been with a pdi and started this lesson, and they either don’t ask anything or just say “have you had any driving Lessons?”

No this is my first one.. Comes the reply

~Thus starts a 20 minute speech on what everything does, with very little involvement of me.

Despite me looking around, not interested and huffing and puffing, then comes “why aren’t you listening to me”

I’m bored

Well you need to know what all this stuff is and what it does

I do know

I thought you hadn’t had any driving lessons before

I haven’t

Then how do you know what it is

I’m the under 17 Formula 3000 World Racing Champion!!

(but this is my first driving lesson, i’ve never been allowed to drive on the road up until today)

Are you looking for a career move? Do you want to become your own boss working around your life not living around your work?

Maybe you have considered becoming a driving instructor but were unsure how to go about it. Driver Training Limited is one of the UK

According to statistics new drivers are more likely to be involved in a motor incident within the first 2 years of passing their test. This is one reason the Pass Plus training course was introduced specifically for new drivers. It enables new drivers to further enhance the skills they learnt throughout their driving lessons and become a more confident and safe driver. As long as you hold a full UK drivers licence you are allowed to participate on the course. For those of you who are afraid of exams, there is no need to worry as you do not need to take an exam at the end. Instead you are assessed throughout the course and must complete the six modules to a specified standard. The cost of the Pass Plus varies depending on where you live in the country and which driving instructor/school you choose. Another benefit of the Pass Plus is that once you have passed the course it can have a significant effect in lowering your car insurance.
