ORDIT - Means your trainer has been inspected and verified by the DSA
as being able to give training to a standard that is acceptable to them.
If your Trainer is NOT ORDIT REGISTERED - Don't use them!
The objective of the Ordit register is to establish and maintain acceptable
standards of driving instructor training for those trainers and training establishments
who wish to have their names entered onto the official register of driving instructor training.
The register is run by the Driving Standards Agency.
Prospective driving instructors are advised by the Driving Standards Agency
to train to become a driving instructor with an ORDIT registered trainer.
ORDIT trainers have undergone very thorough inspections of their work.
The DSA Supervising Examiners (ADI) conducts these inspections.

Chris Gouldingay is on the ORDIT register and our belief is that sometime in the near future
it will become law that only ORDIT registered trainers will be allowed to train people how to become approved driving learner-driver-driving-instructors.
Unfortunately within this industry there are a number of very dubious trainers and instructor training groups that have sprung up over the last 5 to 10 years. Some of these trainers are in fact learner driver instructors who have little or no experience of teaching people how to become an instructor
and some training groups seem to be more concerned in getting as many people as possible to hand
over large sums of money with little or no incentive to get you qualified. Regrettably they seem to show
more skill at getting your money than they are at training.
How to choose a trainer
When paying out good money for instructor training make sure you are getting the best training possible.
Only ORDIT registered trainers have had their work assessed by the Driving Standards Agency,
and only these trainers are approved and recommended by the DSA without any exceptions
Therefore don't take it for granted you are being told the truth, ask to see their recent grading certificate
and remember if they don't advertise it, think why not? Some people put letters after their name that only mean
they have paid membership money to join such as DIA and MSA etc
Make sure you check out your trainer's history of ADI training by asking for testimonials of people
they have trained as many driving schools are putting ADI training in their adverts and in fact may
have done very little or none of this training previously. ADI training is very different to learner driver training.
Take the advice of the DSA. They advise you in their ADI 14
"Your road to becoming an Approved Driving Instructor" to check out very carefully
and to get the answers in writing to your questions and not to sign anything or pay out for a
complete course unless you are sure that the course is what you want. Ask yourself why do
they put this in bold print in a government booklet?
If you are asked to pay out a large sum of money in advance for the whole of your training including
exam fees and the registration payment you should wonder why they require all this money in one go
You might ask why in particularly they need your exam fees and registration payment paid to them,
as it is just as easy for you to pay these to the DSA when they are required. Is it that if you decide not
to continue with your training or fail a practical exam three times that you may have signed something to
say that you can't have your money back?
If something looks too good to be true - don't be fooled as in life it usually is.
