Directions provide ADI driving instructor courses throughout the UK.  There are a range of driving instructor courses that you can choose from and once qualified the benefits of a driving job can add great value to your lifestyle:

We offer a really great programme, where by the level of support and information you need is provided at the exact point you need it through your development. Of course the more work you are able to dedicate to your ADI training, the less time and money it will cost you. Get in touch and we can arrange a time to talk through your requirements further or come in for a free assessment with one of our highly qualified ADI instructors.

Which ADI training programme in Merseyside should you go for? 

Directions Driver Training produce high quality, well trained ADI’s who are capable of doing a good job from the start.  We will not take you onto our training programme if we don’t think you have what it takes but instead work with you to develop your skills so that you are ready to take the next step up. We promise to always be there if you need any help or advice we have an FAQ's page (members only pages) dedicated to ADI trainees and accessed by more than just our own customers we're happy to help answer those familiar questions:  “not sure if I’m ready for my test” or “what is the correct procedure/instruction at that junction?”.

A flexible and complete driving instructor programme

Most ADI training programmes available today are so rigid that they don’t, won’t or can’t meet your individual needs.  Directions Driver Training are different, we can give you totally impartial advice about the best route through training for you.  We will not force or cajole you into a 'training licence' if it’s not for you.  We also have several unique schemes to help you along the way without putting more strain on your pocket!  Whether you want to take advantage of them is your choice – but as students have said in the past “you’d be a fool not to!”.

These are all really good reasons to take one of our driving instructor courses.  There are 3 main parts to an ADI qualification and we have created a web page prescribing the exact requirements of each level, what your involvement with us will be and an outline training plan:

• ADI part one
• ADI part two
• ADI part three
• ADI part  three rescue
• Continued Professional Development

1. The minimum requirements and where to find insurance for driving instructors.
