Local Instructor Training in Blackburn

Unlike national franchises that expect you to travel, we keep everything local and convenient. Our instructor training is based in Blackburn, with lessons conducted on the same roads and test routes you’ll one day teach your learners. This gives you practical, real-world experience from the beginning. You’ll learn with experienced trainers who are already successful ADIs in Lancashire, and we provide tailored support to help you pass each stage of the process.

How to Qualify as a DVSA Instructor (ADI)

To become a driving instructor, you must complete three parts of the DVSA ADI qualification:

1. Part 1 – Theory Test
   Covers road rules, hazard perception, and instructional techniques.

2. Part 2 – Driving Ability Test
   An advanced driving test that proves your skill and safety on the road.

3. Part 3 – Instructional Ability
   Assesses your teaching style and ability to coach real learners.

We guide you through all three stages with personal support, mock exams, and DVSA-aligned lessons to ensure you pass with confidence.
