Becoming a qualified driving instructor (ADI) means meeting strict standards set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. You must pass all three parts of the qualification process within 2 years and demonstrate not just driving ability, but professional teaching skill.
This is a structured, high-level qualification. Done properly, it leads to a long-term career or business.
