Instructor Training

                        

Our Instructor Training Program is designed to provide comprehensive, hands-on training to ensure that all our instructors are fully equipped to deliver the highest quality education. 

 

1 to 1 Training

We believe that individualized attention is key to effective learning. Our program features:

• One-on-one training sessions with experienced instructors.

• Customized lesson plans tailored to each trainee's needs and learning pace.

• Direct feedback and guidance throughout the training process.

 

100% In-Car Training

Unlike some training programs that rely on online virtual training or classroom settings, our program emphasizes:

• Complete in-car training to provide practical, hands-on experience.

• Real-time instruction in a controlled environment, allowing for immediate application of skills.

• Opportunities to practice driving techniques and teaching methods in real traffic conditions.

 

The Process​

​

Brennans Driving can guide you through every step to become a DVSA‑approved driving instructor — from eligibility checks and DBS to passing the three DVSA qualifying tests and joining our team as a trainee and franchised instructor. We provide mentor support, structured training program and practical on‑road coaching to help you pass and build a sustainable teaching career.

 

Step‑by‑step process to qualify 

1. Check eligibility — confirm age, licence history and fitness to teach; review the ADI register guidance.

2. Apply and complete DBS — start your application and obtain a new Disclosure and Barring Service check as required by DVSA.

3. Get a trainer / join a training programme — work with a registered trainer or approved school (we provide in‑house mentoring and structured preparation) to prepare for the three qualifying tests.

4. Pass the three DVSA tests:

   • Part 1: Theory test (multiple choice and hazard perception).

   • Part 2: Practical driving test (demonstrate high standard of driving).

   • Part 3: Instructional ability test (assessed teaching session).

5. Register on the ADI register once you pass all parts and meet ‘fit and proper’ checks.

6. Ongoing development — continue CPD, consider teaching Pass Plus or specialist modules to expand services and income.​
