Training Testimonials

Becoming an ADI is not easy, regardless of what the adverts say, but what made the difference for me was Jane Clarke. Her complete understanding of both the subject and the pupil, along with humour and patience, gave me a fuller understanding of what skills are required and helped me attain them. Her approach to teaching was both refreshing and enlightening, she is one in a million and I thank her once again for helping me pass these exams.

I contacted Jane to arrange my first lesson, and was quickly and easily a given a date and time for our first meeting. The first lesson I saw Jane, I was quite nervous, (with expectation and anticipation!!), to my relief Jane was very professional and calming. Throughout my time of instruction with Jane the lessons were perfectly balanced and tailored to my needs as a potential instructor, (each lesson lasted 2 hours, but seemed like 15 minutes, as I was having so much fun). Jane is an excellent instructor and is very knowledgeable, I would certainly recommend Jane to any potential driving instructor.

I am writing to thank you for all your help and support that you gave me whilst I was training to take my Part 3 Driving Test. I gained my knowledge and experience from your expert skills in teaching with the following two points being of particular use to me and which I feel helped me pass. Your suggestion of breaking down the fault assessment into sections enabling me to deal with them one at a time and then putting them all back together help me to indentify, analysis and give remedial action with better knowledge. Sitting in the back of a car watching you teach a learner driver gave me a different perspective and helped me understand how important it is to gain control of a lesson. I will recommend you wholeheartedly to any PDI or ADI. Again thank you. Yours sincerely Keith

When I struggling to pass my ADI Part 3 and had lessons with 3 other instructors then I went for lessons with Jane. Immediately she identified my faults, pointed out the things I need to concentrate on and demonstrated exactly how it should be done. Within a very short time my confidence grew, I was getting it right, we did a few PST's and now I am ADI no. 323512. Thanks Jane

Hi Jane. Thankyou for your help.I trained for my ORDIT exam in Portsmouth, I failed my first attempt (bad training at the cost of £1,100) thats why I bought your training guide (worth every penny). I now work as an ORDIT instructor and love it. What I don't want for my PDI's is to have bad training. It took me 3 attempts at the part 3 and I did not know what the test was about.Thankyou very much for your help. Mandy

I write to pay tribute to the skills of Carol as an instructor. I first met Carol when she began taking me through my Part 3 training for my ADI Licence. Carol prepared me thoroughly in every aspect of the training with clear and concise instruction to enable me to successfully pass my final ADI examination. Each section of the syllabus was mastered before proceeding to the next with the ultimate result that I passed first time and feel confident to pursue my new career as a Driving Instructor. Thanks to Carol I feel confident to pass on the skills to my own pupils which I have learnt during my training with her. Any person that is lucky enough to have Carol as their instructor will find her friendly, professional and excellent at the job she does (whilst still having a laugh). I am delighted to offer this testimonial as my way of showing my sincere appreciation to Carol for all her help, guidance and encouragement. Wishing you all the best for the future. Thank you Donna walker

Having failed my 1st attempt at the Part 3 test I realised that I needed to find further training and instruction. My thoughts were to find a specialist Part 3 Instructor.

Jane was recommended to me by a friend who had also spent time training with her. After meeting Jane and having an honest assessment I soon realised that I had found someone who knew the business inside out.

Jane's knowledge and experience was very benificial to me, she identified my weak points and concentrated my training around them as well as being complementary with the things that I did well.

I honestly believe that without Jane's advice the Part 3 test would of been a tougher challenge to achieve.

I have now passed 2nd attempt and really can not thank Jane enough.

I had made a decision to become a driving instructor, yes the adverts on tv, So I went with a company who as time went by was telling me they were struggling to get people through their Part 3, that did my confidence no good at all. I decided to leave the company and get a sponsorship with someone else. They suggested - highly recommended Jane. I was so nervous meeting her. The day and time arrived, I sat in her car, and within minutes she was putting me at ease. I did admit to Jane that the training I had up to then was confusing, I did what I was taught but not really understanding the why's and wherefores. Over the next few hours of training with Jane, it was like a cloud had gone and everything felt much clearer.

I had some great times, I loved my lessons with her, i still had the odd butterfly or so, I really respect Jane and felt I really wanted to do well, not just for myself, but also for Jane.

I have and will continue to recommend you Jane.

If you are thinking of having training, stop reading this and give Jane a call.

Steven Briggs - Learn2Pass Driving School I decided to start training with Jane after I successfully past my part 3 test. Unsure at first as to how Jane would develop my teaching skills, I felt apprehensive with my check test approaching. Jane showed me a new way of how to look at teaching which actually made things clearer. Due to her tuition and support I successfully past my check test. I would recommend Jane to any A.D.I. or P.D.I. I now look forward to further training for advanced courses and have every confidence with her help - the sky is the limit.

After having my own haulage business for 25 years I decided I needed a 
change and decided to pursue a career as a driving instructor. I signed up
 with a national driving school and duly paid my £3,500, after a while it
 became apparent the training I was receiving was extremely poor, I felt I
 was being taught to fail. Then I heard of Jane, what a difference. She 
virtually had to start from scratch with regard to preparation for my Part 3.
 Jane is an incredible teacher and knows driving instruction inside out 
( it's well worth reading her articles in ADI News), the lessons are fun 
and very soon things start to fall into place. I definitely would not have 
passed my Part 3 without Jane. Thank you so much.

As a Police Officer I have been trained by various very capable instructors in a number of driving techniques to include Police Advanced 1 (VIP and Category A Escort Driving) and have on numerous occasions driven Royalty and other VIP's. As soon as I met Jane it was immediately obvious that Jane was extremely capable and is a top class instructor. Jane was able to spot my instructional weaknesses and offer a simple remedy to fills those gaps. After the 40 hour course I was fully aware of the method that I needed to employ to not only pass the Part 3 of the ADI test but to practically instruct. As I went for the test I was completely clear as to what I needed to do and how to do it and I honestly believed that any failure would be a silly error on my part. The confidence that I had going into the test is testament to the top class preparation that I was afforded by Jane. I passed first time despite being examined by Bobby (the butcher) Barton.
