Become a Driving Instructor

Become Your Own Boss With Bradleys Driving School

There’s a growing demand for driving instructors, driven by a post-COVID backlog, a surge in learner drivers, and a national shortage of Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs). With more people needing licences for work, independence, and new career opportunities, now is the perfect time to retrain as a driving instructor and join a high-demand franchise.

Why Choose Bradley’s Driving School?

At Bradley’s Driving School, we specialise in developing top-quality driving instructors through personalised, hands-on training. We offer premium training facilities and provide continuous support to ensure you’re on the right career path from day one. Unlike larger training providers, we limit the number of trainees we accept, meaning you benefit from dedicated 1-to-1 instructor expertise.

Bradley’s Driving School Training Programme

At Bradley’s Driving School, we provide everything you need to become a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor. Our comprehensive programme covers all three parts of the ADI qualification—from theory and driving ability to instructional techniques. Blending in-car and out-of-car learning, our training is flexible to suit your schedule, whether you’re learning full-time or part-time.

We ensure each trainee receives personalised mentorship and continuous support, helping you build both skill and confidence throughout the journey.

Once you pass Part 2, you’ll be eligible to earn as you learn with a trainee licence. We’ll provide guaranteed pupils so you can start gaining real-world experience immediately. Our expert trainers offer 1-to-1 guidance to ensure you’re not only test-ready, but also set up for long-term success.

With the added benefits of joining a respected local brand and a clear path into a rewarding, flexible career, Bradley’s Driving School gives you everything you need to thrive.

How to Become an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) in the UK

To become an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) in the UK, you must:

  • Be at least 21 years old
  • Have held a full UK driving licence for at least three years
  • Complete a DBS (criminal record) check
  • Register with the DVSA

The qualification process includes:

  1. Part 1 – Theory and hazard perception test
  2. Part 2 – Practical driving ability test
  3. Part 3 – Test of instructional ability

After passing Part 2, you can apply for a trainee driving instructor licence (also known as a pink badge). This allows you to begin teaching real learners under the supervision of an established driving school while preparing for Part 3.

It’s a valuable way to gain experience, build confidence, and earn as you complete your training. At Bradley’s Driving School, we support you every step of the way with personalised instruction, premium training resources, and ongoing development—ensuring you’re fully prepared to qualify and succeed as a professional ADI.
