Keep one plan from preparation to qualification
Drivers from Lewisham can follow a connected route that begins with course planning and continues through later qualification work. We first consider which ADI part you're preparing for and what existing experience you bring. The approximately 40-hour programme combines knowledge, advanced driving and instructional development rather than treating them as unrelated subjects. Three academy trainees have passed their final driving instructor exams. Their outcomes don't guarantee the same result for anyone else, but they provide factual evidence that candidates have progressed through the complete process with our training.
Develop through provisional teaching experience
Candidates travelling from Lewisham can continue receiving guidance after the main attendance period. During the PDI stage, real lessons may reveal issues that weren't obvious during classroom study. You may need to adjust your questions, reduce lengthy explanations or intervene sooner as risk develops. We help you review these moments and connect them to Part 3 criteria. Continued qualification support can also respond to test feedback and changing weaknesses, helping you keep one development plan instead of seeking disconnected advice each time a new challenge appears.
Frequently asked questions
Can Lewisham candidates follow the full ADI course?
Yes. Candidates from Lewisham can attend the complete programme and continue with later guidance. We plan training around the qualification stage you've reached rather than assuming everyone begins at the same point.
What does the trainee pass figure mean?
Three trainees have passed their final driving instructor exams after academy training. This is a factual record, not a promise of results, because every candidate must meet the required standard in their own tests.
Does support continue during PDI work?
Yes. We can help you review practical teaching experience, identify recurring issues and connect improvements to Part 3 expectations while you continue progressing towards full qualification.
