Choosing a Driving Instructor- Points to Consider

We are one of the best schools of motoring in Bradford, so before you select another school consider the points below.

Is the instructor a fully-qualified Approved Driver Instructor (ADI)? Check for a green, octagonal DSA badge in the front windscreen of the tuition vehicle.

If a driving school proposes to use a trainee instructor for part of your training, what percentage of lessons will be with the trainee and will you pay reduced fees?

What is the instructor's pass rate for learners sitting the practical test for the first time?

Which grade has the DSA given the instructor? Grade 6 indicates that the instructor performs to a very high standard.

Can you have a free or reduced-price initial lesson to see how you get on with the instructor?

How long has the instructor been teaching learner drivers?

How long, and how much, are lessons?

Will you get a discount for booking a block of lessons in advance?

What happens if you need to cancel a pre-arranged lesson?

If you plan to drive cars only with an automatic gearbox, can the instructor provide a suitable tuition vehicle?

What model of car is used as the tuition vehicle?

Does the tuition vehicle have dual controls?

How old is the tuition vehicle?

Can the driver's seat and steering column of the tuition vehicle be adjusted to suit your height and build? This is particularly important if you are either very tall, or very short.

Does the tuition vehicle have safety features such as air bags and side impact protection?

Will you get any extras, such as software or study aids to help prepare for the theory test?

Will the instructor pick you up and drop you off at your home address, or other location that is convenient to you?

Will the instructor be giving you undivided attention, or will you be expected to either pick up the next pupil or drop off the previous one during the time allocated to your lesson?

Is the instructor recommended by a relative or close friend?

Does the instructor smoke in the tuition vehicle? This could be important to you if you are a non-smoker.

Does the instructor speak in a clear and easily understandable way? This may be particularly relevant if English is not your first language.
