Driving Instructors ADI part 3
SOME organisations will charge you HUNDREDS of pounds to train you for the ADI theory test!
Most can do this without outside help
Take my advice
Go HERE or to your local supermarket and buy the theory disks for a few pounds and invest a small amount on a couple of books then complete the ADI theory test YOURSELF
There are some excellent driving instructor trainers in the UK, but the sad fact is there are some not so excellent ones
Mostly, they are NOT breaking the law!
Ask if your in car training will be 1 to 1, if not consider carefully whether you are getting value for the money you would be paying
Check out the trainer or organisation BEFORE you hand your cash over and if you can't get straight and reasonable answers to straight questions please don't hand your money over
PLEASE DON'T be taken in by the glossy Websites, TV ads or brochures without checking them out first
If you have any doubts at all as to whether the driving instructor training would be acceptable, then ask the trainer if you can pay as you go...it would in my opinion be acceptable for a driving instructor trainer to ask for a deposit to secure a place in his/her diary but if that trainer or organisation insists that you pay EVERYTHING up front or is vague about the subject then be VERY wary
Your Road to Understanding the ADI Part 3
The ADI part 3 test of instructional ability is extremely difficult!
Not So!
It's NOT the ADI part 3 test that is extremely difficult, this myth comes partly from us, as human beings being inherently lazy. The truth of it is this, the only difficult part of the part 3 process is
- NOT having the correct training
- NOT doing the hard work in between training
- Being lazy and falling for the big glossy promises that you see on the Internet, TV or magazines and handing your HARD EARNED cash over without checking them out by getting straight answers to your questions and even asking existing trainees about the company
- Thinking that the money you paid will get you through the ADI exams regardless of how little effort you put into it
- Listening to people that tell you how difficult the ADI part 3 is
- Imagining yourself failing before you even start because of the common myth of how hard the ADI part 3 is
So the advice I would give is
- Ask others that have had ADI part 3 training AND passed "can you recommend your trainer and if so WHY?"
- Some of the driving instructor training may well be very good but find out if YOURS is going to be
- Be prepared for hard work in between training sessions
- Don't take promises of an easy large income at face value, check it out and ASK around
- Don't imagine that the more money it costs and the shinier the websites and brochures the better the ADI training will be
- Imagine yourself passing because you took note of ALL of the above
The lesson is what you read in the fine print.
The experience is what you get when you don't
The truth is that if you simply jump headlong into the glossy brochure trap you may be in for a potentially very bad trip!
You CAN earn a very very nice income from being a driving instructor but ONLY if you are prepared for hard work
