The Training Course Timetable

We offer training 7 days per week. First you need to decide how many hours you can devote to the training. The timetable below is based on a candidate being able to spend between 12-18 hours per week training. As the example shows, with successful first time passes this candidate has qualified and is ready to work by week 12.

Whichever timetable you decide upon, it needs to be flexible as your exam dates are subject to availability from the Driving Standards Agency.

*Note: From March 2007 most applicants who intend to start the ADI qualifying process will need to have a criminal record disclosure obtained free of charge through DSA's contractor, Capita Recruitemt. Our information pack which is sent out to all course joiners contains all the information to begin this process.
