Train to Become a Qualified Driving Instructor
High-quality, 1-to-1 DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) coaching in Portsmouth & Hampshire. Transform your career with a top-grade mentor.
Why Train with an OrDIT-Registered Coach?
Deciding to train as a driving instructor is an exciting life step, but finding the right trainer is critical to your success. Many large national franchises sell expensive courses with little personalised support, leaving trainees struggling with the practical instructional test.
As an Official Register of Driving Instructor Trainers (OrDIT) registered coach and Grade A ADI, I provide dedicated, 1-to-1 mentoring tailored to how you learn. My focus isn't just on getting you through the exams—it's on preparing you to build a thriving, successful business once you're qualified.
Before You Begin: DVSA Prerequisites
Before you can officially register for your Part 1 theory exam, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) requires all prospective instructors to meet basic eligibility criteria and obtain a Personal Reference Number (PRN).
⚠️ Important Note Regarding DBS Checks:
You must complete an enhanced DVSA-specific Criminal Record (DBS) Check to get your PRN.
Please note: Even if you already hold an enhanced DBS check through the Armed Forces, Emergency Services, or Teaching, the DVSA will not accept it. You must complete a new check specifically through the DVSA portal.
