Key Skills Instructor Training

Read what Learner Drivers', ADI, PDI, and others say about Key Skills Instructor Training Instructors/Trainers.

ADI

Simon (Bath)

I started training with Mandy in December 2008, from the outset I was impressed with her relaxed and honest approach, in that she made it clear from the start that becoming a qualified driving instructor was demanding and challenging process. After passing the Part 1 theory test, the training for Part 2 involved 10 hours in car training, which I needed after developing a host of bad driving habits but Mandy quickly and effectively ironed them out for me. Although nerve racking I passed Part 2 the 1 hour driving test first time. However, It was during the Part 3 training when Mandy's experience really showed and thanks to her tips and advice I was able to pass my Part 3 first time with a 5-5 grade.

I would highly recommend Mandy as an ADI instructor, she gets straight to the point and outlines what you need to know and what you don't. Although demanding I thoroughly enjoyed my 50 plus hours training with Mandy. What was great for me was that she was able to get me through all 3 Parts of the ADI process in a very short time period, which was crucial as driving instructing was my only income.

Mandy was patient and has an abundance of knowledge. She taught me that pupils are all different and that you need to adjust your teaching to suit their needs. The core competencies are most fundamental and need to be followed all the time. I really enjoyed my training that was given, and attained a 5/4, which I was very pleased with - as I really struggle with exam pressure. Thanks very much for all your help Mandy.

Check Test Training

Jeff (Hampshire)

As a qualified ADI never having taken up employment as a Driving Instructor, having to pass the DSA 'check test' in order to remain on the register was a daunting prospect. I needn't have worried though because good fortune brought me to Key Skills Instructor Training. Targeted training delivered in a relaxed but professional manner ensured the 'pass' I required with minimum fuss. I would thoroughly recommend Key Skills to any PDI starting out or ADI requiring a refresher.

Part 3 Rescue

Mandy. How are things?

Just a quick email to thank you for the Part 3 rescue training I did with you on the 3rd and 4th May 2010.

I found it very good in that you put information I already knew from a different angle, and a lot I didn't. My previous college instructors seemed to be of the adage ' teach everything(phase 1), ask everything(phase 2) before you start'' you taught to tell/ask the bare bones and then get the pupil on the move and continue to tell/ask as the lesson went on.
The course was done on an informal level but I found I was still learning even when we stopped for a 'break'.
The help given to simplify my lesson plans was great and it helped me to get things into a logical order in my head, even down to your simple graphics being easier to understand.
All this said you helped me to pass second attempt, going from a 2-2 to a 5-4. Thank you.
