Part One - The Theory & Hazard Perception Test
​​
​In
 doing a little research you will find that we are recommended by the DVSA (Government) specifically for Driving Instructor Training. Officially Recommended Driving Instructor Training Establishments (ORDIT).

Even though some attempt the test on their own, the cost of retakes far outweighs the cost of the course, with our first-time pass rate. 
​Not only does our course save heartache & money, but the training provides a good foundation for both Parts 2 & 3.

​Visit our Part One page for more information

​Part Two - An Advanced Driving Test

​This is the fun part and can be done relatively quickly, as it is about driving ability and displaying what has been learnt at Part 1.
More often than not although there is a huge learning element, it is also the most enjoyable of the three parts,
where all your newfound skills can be shown off. 
If you think your driving is better than average, have a love of driving and a concern for road safety, maybe you've come to the right place for you?
Visit our Part Two page for more information.

Part Three - Test of Instructional Techniques

​It is no secret that this is where ROYAL excels over most other training establishments, with a pass rate second to none since 1983. Having been on the government committees representing the Driving Instructor Training  Establishments throughout the country, our experience and expertise give our trainees the best start possible. 
Whether the intention is to set up your own business or work within a Driving School framework we are happy to train you to the highest standards, always aiming for a first-time pass!
The good news is that every year there are approximately 2 million driving tests taken and until driverless cars become the norm a long time from now, 
there is no shortage of people learning to drive. 
​Why not book an appointment to meet us and decide if this is the right career choice for you.
Visit our Part Three page for more information.

Cost?

​We are Professionals and like to think our prices are fair, without the ‘gimmicks’ or the up-front ‘cheap price’ with the long-term payback. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. The best value for money is signing up for the full course from the beginning with us and pass each part first time.
If you find that you have trained elsewhere and just need a few lessons to finish off in becoming an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) ROYAL provides a friendly, professional environment to train or work in. 
The total cost varies from person to person and depends very much on previous experience, bad habits and attitude, but with the expert guidance we provide, you should be able to take to the road with confidence.
You can pay as you go, or save money with our packages at specially discounted rates

Why become a driving Instructor?

There are very few careers where YOU can be the one who actually decides How much you earn? How much time you want off? Or even how many hours to work on a given day?
We are very lucky to be in a redundancy-proof profession, where there is no hierarchy of managers and bosses.
Every day more teenagers reach that magical age of 17, enabling them to take driving lessons, much like we did when we were young and with only around 38,000 qualified driving instructors in the UK, there aren't enough.
It is an equal opportunities profession and welcomes people from any age, nationality, gender or disability.
​It is also a job that can be done full or part-time. 

From a job satisfaction perspective, there are very few professions that can compare and no Driving Instructor forgets the name of their first pupil who passes their driving test. (Mine was Aaron Ferran).

What it Means to be ORDIT registered?

​​It stands for the Official Register of Driving Instructor Training Establishments. (ORDIT)
(Official, being the operative word!).
It is regulated by the DVSA, with a ‘Code of Practice’ giving the customer a guaranteed standard of service and tuition. Non-ORDIT registered schools are not!

We have long campaigned that all establishments should be ORDIT registered. If they were the ‘pass rate’ would rise and many PDIs wouldn’t have wasted their hard-earned money and time, without qualifying.
Non-ORDIT Training Establishments offer no guarantees or comebacks.

​Duration:
  • This is where you are in control and is largely dependent on how much time you have available and how fast you wish to progress. 
    E
    ach course is done on a one-to-one basis which means that if you want to start tomorrow, then you'll start tomorrow!
  • Test dates are a problem these days, although the DVSA are trying to address this and you'll need a DBS check to be accepted.​
  • ​Most Trainee Instructors aim to start work after passing the Part Two test, about halfway through the course.
