DVSA ADI Training Course Timetables

DVSA ADI Training Course Timetables

All of the examples of training timetables are only meant as a guide to how the intensity of a course and the frequency of training sessions affects the time that it takes to become a fully qualified DVSA ADI.

Everyone’s requirements are different, so we will plan a course tailored to your needs, and adapt the course whenever necessary to reflect any change of circumstance.

Examples are shown both with and without a trainee licence.

Using a trainee licence provides you with more training and preparation for the DVSA ADI Part 3 Test, including the opportunity to teach real pupils.

Using a trainee licence also makes it easier to select a pupil to use for your DVSA ADI Part 3 Test, and you will typically be able to use a pupil that you have taught over several lessons.

Choosing a training plan without using a trainee licence will mean that you probably won’t have had the opportunity to teach real pupils, and may need to rely on using a friend or relation as your pupil for your DVSA ADI Part 3 Test.
