First of all, I’d like to say that I feel extremely lucky and privileged to have Chris as my instructor.
I’m training to become an ADI and I must say that it’s been a challenging road so far, much more challenging than I imagined it would be. When I met Chris I didn’t quite expect that getting the qualifications to become a driving instructor would be so hard, but luckily after the first meeting with Chris and a conversation about it, not only did I find out exactly what to expect and what I had to learn, but also got reassurance from Chris that I could do it and be successful as a driving instructor. Well, that yet remains to be seen, but what I already know is that Chris can definitely work miracles! I only had two and a half weeks to get ready for my advanced driving test because I somehow thought that it would be easy to pass it. I thought that the fact that I’d been driving for 13 years would be enough to get me through the exam, with maybe a little brush on from Chris. How very very wrong I was! The first lesson came as a big shock as I found out how many bad driving habits I had and had to get rid of in such a short period of time. I still don’t know how Chris did that but somehow his enormous patience, passion for his job, great instruction giving skills and endless knowledge about just anything I asked him got me ready for the test and I managed to pass on my first attempt with only one fault! I still can’t believe that I actually passed! I honestly think that if it hadn’t been for Chris, my chances of passing would have been really small.
Now I’m training for Part 3 test, and there is no doubt in my head that Chris will prepare me very well for it and will equip me with the confidence to start working as an ADI without the fear that I can’t cope or that I don’t have the knowledge or skills to be good at it.
Thank you very much, Chris, for everything you’ve done for me so far! I really look forward to more interesting and fun lessons full of support, understanding and guidance.
If you want to pass and be successful, look no further and train with Chris!
