Testimonials

 "I was looking to complete my ADI training as professional development for my role.  I found working with Neil helped me really understand the world of a modern professional ADI.  I really enjoyed the training and was thoroughly prepared for the various DVSA qualifying tests where I was successful first time.  I highly recommend working with Neil, don’t expect an easy time, but it will be a rewarding learning experience that will enable you to be confident in your role as an ADI."

Shaun Cronin - Regional Manager, IAM RoadSmart


Being in the position of looking for a change of career and being interested in teaching students to drive, I made contact with several ADI training providers. Neil was the only one who offered me the flexibility to work around my current occupation, whilst providing part 3 training from the offset. This in turn accelerated my progression to successfully passing all 3 parts of the ADI qualification first time as although separate tests, they are intrinsically linked.  Neil is highly qualified and this shows through in his methods of teaching, standards and expectations. The training delivered was intensive but I can honestly say prepared me well for not only the tests but subsequent teaching of students. Thank you Neil for all you professional help.  (name on request)


 "In 2009 I began training as a driving instructor with a colourful national company. I passed part1 and part 2 at the first attempt and received 40 hrs of part 3 training with them and as far as I was concerned I was ready to teach.  In October 2009 I received a phone call from Neil Turner, (thedrivingconsultant.co.uk) who explained that the colourful company had emailed him my details and asked if I would like to meet him to discuss my future. After meeting Neil I realised just how little I knew concerning driving instruction and agreed to sign up for the  PART 3 REMEDIAL TRAINING package.  I went on a trainee licence with thedrivingconsultant for 6 months and passed my part 3 test, first attempt, within that time. When I listen to other instructors' stories I am so grateful that Neil called me that day, thedrivingconsultant INSTRUCTOR TRAINING is second to none and I would urge anyone considering this as a career, to call thedrivingconsultant first, believe me, you wont regret it!. I now assist Neil Turner in the training of pdi's for their part 2 and part 3 tests, pupils permitting! 

Neil Moody ADI


I would just like to say a huge thank you to Neil Turner at thedrivingconsultant.co.uk for getting me through my Part 2 and Part 3 of my ADI training -  all quailified now and good to go!  I am from the Isle of Wight and didn't really of know any schools on the mainland but after a little research online I decided to have a day over in Southampton with Neil. I really struggled with mainland driving and never thought i would pass Part 2 if I'm honest. But with Neil's confidence and patience i passed after my 2nd attempt. For my Part 3 training I came over for 2/3/4 hour sessions, the training was tailored around me and when I could come over and was always on a 1 to 1 basis. After failing my 1st attempt the pressure was on and the self doubt crept in, but Neil kept me going and I passed a couple of weeks later on my 2nd attempt!. Apart from the training I would like to say Neil is a nice guy and comfortable to be around and I really dont think I could have done it without him! Can't wait to start my new Career.
