HOW TO BECOME A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR!!!

HEY GUYS AND GALS!

This video will give you an insight into how I became a driving instructor and how you can too!
How to become a car driving instructor: step by step

Step 3 Take the theory test (ADI part 1)
Step 4 Take the driving ability test (ADI part 2)
Step 5 Get practice teaching preferably with a training badge (Pink Badge)
Step 6 Take the instructional test (ADI part 3)
Step 7 Register as an ADI and order your badge.
Step 8 Grow your business. (FACEBOOK)

If YOU are thinking about becoming a driving instructor make sure you seek professional help from a fully qualified ADI such as myself. This video is NOT an alternative to professional driving lessons and is only a rough guide. During the recording of this information I have tried to ensure all information is correct and up to date although this can change along with the times so I cannot guarantee all the information will be correct at the time you use it.

Hi josh, I'm not sure if you read the comments etc but I'd like to say thank you for the video. I'm going to give this a go. I've been driving tri axel coach for national express and missed so much of my kids growing up. Hopefully within a year I'll be self employed and living life.

Hi Josh, Thanks for this. Very informative and to the point and funny as usual!! Keep up the good work.
Please re-advise the Booking software you said you used in a previous video...I think you said it was £10 per month... thanks again

Started a course recently and having sifted through hours and hours of reading legislation and ticking boxes, I'm now about to book my theory and have an enormous journey still ahead of me.

My question is this: should it be feel this impossible, daunting and uncomfortable?

[devondumpling]

Hey josh thanks for the video. Real straight to the point, love it. I’m looking to become a driving instructor and I was wondering if you recommended us potential driving instructors to go through the exact route you went through or would you of done it a different way?many thanks!

It's annoying that there are no official UK statistics showing the percentage of people that fail on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd attempt. Instead they're all grouped together and all we know is the overall pass rate is 33%, meaning 67% fail (ish). If every attempt had equal pass rates then this is the percentage of people that pass within 3 attempts:

100% - 33% - 33% - 33% = 30% of people fail after 3 attempts = 70% pass

However, I suspect that the odds improve as you gain more experience so I doubt it's 33% for each attempt although maybe the added pressure of failing again cancels out the added experience.

Ignoring drop-outs let's see what the very best pass rate could be for 100 people taking a test, making sure the average pass rate is 33%:

1st attempt: 100 people tested, 0 people pass (0% pass rate)
2nd attempt: 100 people tested, 0 people pass (0% pass rate)
3rd attempt: 100 people tested, 100 people pass (100% pass rate)

300 tests done with 100 passes. THIS IS STILL A 33% AVERAGE PASS RATE.

So of the 100 people that took the test 100% of them pass in 3 attempts or less.

Now let's look at the very worst pass rate over 3 attempts:

1st attempt: 100 people tested, 60 people pass (60% pass rate)
2nd attempt: 40 people tested, 0 people pass (0% pass rate)
3rd attempt: 40 people tested, 0 people pass (0% pass rate)

180 tests done with 60 passes. THIS IS STILL A 33% AVERAGE PASS RATE.

So of the 100 people that took the test 60 of them passed in 3 attempts or less. That's a 60% pass rate within 3 attempts or less!!!

If my calculations are correct it means that between 60% and 100% of driving instructors pass within 3 attempts or less.

This goes to show that the statistics we're given are useless because it doesn't give us all the information.

I guess by saying 33% failure rate it puts people off becoming an instructor so there's less competition. ;-)

JUST PASSED MY PART i cant believe watching you're videos has put me on a better path. all i can do is try. heres to part 2 thanks again mate, , , michael

Hi can you tell me which software you used to practice the hazard perception on your computer please.

[suefarmer]

I love the way you did that!
What a journey it is and don’t the trainer’s make you feel small in the process! Certainly an experience then covid hits just after you pass the part three! No help because you only just passed. So now how do you set up a business? When you have been a stay at home mum for 22 years but now you are an ADI? It’s a bit well you should know what to do next! 🤣

[nssimpson]

When you're doing your part 3 test I wonder whether it would be easier to take a student wanting to pass in an auto/ev rather than manual car. With less to think about, the student is less likely to make mistakes and the instructor has less to concentrate on. Your thoughts please. :-D

[staffysmile]

Passed my Class 2 license in September but soon realised hardly any employers will hire new drivers with no experience & the ones who will take you on are almost offering min wage

So now I’d wished I’d looked into becoming a ADI years ago, I have fond memories of my driving instructor she was a retired police woman and such a character lol

I’m thinking of going down the AA, Bill Plant route so that once I’m qualified they will provide me with guaranteed work and you can also may monthly for the training

I understand they charge for this service but I think it’s only around £120 month which isn’t a lot if their finding your work and that also includes the car

Be interesting to hear why others don’t go with a established company who can provide them with pupils

Hi Josh, how you doing? Excellent video, very informative, massive congratulations. I am a PDI, I have completed my part 1, bit stuck in part 2 and part 3, do not want to go with big companies with long contract, is there any other way, I could accomplished my journey please? Your help and advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much once again. Take care

[Grumpygrandad]

I’m in the process of early retirement after almost 30yrs in social work. I plan to become a driving instructor and just surged into your video. Thanks!

[robospeed]

Been to a school for more info on this, your video has given me the confidence to go for it!
Love the videos keep it up 👍

[abdulhasib]

Would you recommend starting with a big company

[BeNy-]

Hi Josh, I watched a few of your videos. Thank you for your knowledge. You're very detailed. it has helped me so much so far.. I know you did this video some time ago now but wondered if you could answer a question for me, so with the ADI1 theory test, do you need to be under going training with an instructor or can you do this by yourself? Only some instructors offer all 3 parts of the ADI training and wasn't sure if I could just do parts 2 and 3 with one of them after I passed the theory.. Cheers Josh 👍🏻

[Huskyfoxhound]

Hi Josh, I would like to begin training to become a driving instructor but my question is - My education to be come a driving instructor is paid for by my old employer (Military eduucation credits after serving xxx number of years) However, I can only use my education credit with a company in the UK, I live in Ireland and I plan on staying here. To that end, if I pass in the UK can I then transfer my instructor qualification to instruct in Ireland?

Many thanks.

Richard.

I'm sure every pdi benefits from this kind of videos, just like myself.

Thank you for your hard work

[AdnaanNamazee-xyxk]

How long does it take, overall to become an instructor?

[asefrahimi]

Hi Josh thank your videos they are really helpful. Could you please advise me which ADI app should I use to do the theory test. Thank you

[AliMohamed-ienb]

I admire your ethics, could share the hazards website or apps please (free ones if possible 😂)
