Why choose Dave Leverton for your ADI training?

Training that goes beyond passing the test

Passing ADI Part 2 and Part 3 matters, but Dave's approach is not based around simply teaching you how to perform on test day.

The aim is to help you understand why effective instruction works, develop your own skills as a trainer and coach, and become an instructor who can adapt confidently to different pupils and situations.

You are not just preparing for a test. You are preparing for the job.

Experience you can learn from

Dave brings extensive experience of driving instructor training and development, working with PDIs and ADIs at different stages of their careers.

That experience allows training to combine the requirements of the ADI qualification process with the realities of teaching real pupils on real roads.

Complex subjects are broken down into practical, understandable techniques that can be applied in your lessons.

Training built around you

There is no single formula that works for every trainee.

Your experience, confidence, learning style and development needs will be different from somebody else's. Dave's training therefore focuses on identifying where you are now, where you need to get to and what will help you make that progress.

The emphasis is on understanding and development rather than simply being told what to do.

Learn to think like an instructor

One of the biggest transitions for a PDI is moving from thinking like an experienced driver to thinking like a driving instructor.

That means learning to observe differently, anticipate problems earlier, assess risk, understand why pupils behave as they do and decide what level of support is appropriate.

Dave helps trainees develop this professional judgement so that decisions become purposeful rather than simply reactive.

Honest, constructive support

Good training should challenge you as well as encourage you.

Dave provides constructive feedback designed to help you recognise what is working, understand what needs improvement and, importantly, know how to improve it.

The objective isn't perfection in every training session. It is measurable, sustainable progress.

Learn. Apply. Reflect. Improve.

Driving Success is based around a simple principle: knowledge alone doesn't create a great instructor.

You need to be able to apply that knowledge effectively.

Training therefore encourages you to practise, experiment, reflect and continually refine your approach. These are skills that remain valuable long after you have qualified.

Preparing you for success beyond the ADI test

Qualifying is an important milestone, but it is the beginning of your career rather than the end of your development.

Dave's aim is to help you leave training with more than an ADI badge. You should have the confidence and skills to manage lessons independently, develop your pupils, deal with challenging situations and continue improving as an instructor.
