๐ซ Just a quick thank you... โบ๏ธ
This week marked 4 years since I became a fully qualified driving instructor.
What an exciting, well-worth journey it has been. ๐ I have met some amazing people during the duration of my first ADI Badge and I am extremely proud of every single person who has trusted me to coach them towards achieving their driving licence. ๐
Through believing in the way I teach, and the content we have covered during lessons, I can say hand on heart that all of you have gone on to become some of the safest and most knowledgeable drivers on the road today. โ
Rather than rushing to a test just to chance our luck, we have focussed on building skills for what really matters - the 50+ years of driving that lay ahead. ๐ต๐ด
I work really hard to provide as much value for money as I can for all of my customers and although there are still many aspects I'd like to add in over time, I feel my hard work and dedication is shown by the fact that my learners have helped me to achieve a pass rate of 85% over the past 4 years, when the national average has always hovered just below 50%. I pride myself on high standards and with an average score of less than 3 minor faults per test since 2021, I'd like to think that is shown. ๐จโ๐ซ
What I'd also like to mention, is that the above would not have been possible without the fantastic help and support I have been fortunate enough to receive not only from Alert Drivers during my qualification process, but from many, many other Instructors in Exeter - some of which I have become fantastic friends with! ๐ฅฐ Whilst the public would expect us all to be business rivals, there are actually some truly kind, caring and supportive people I am lucky enough to have around me, here in Exeter. So to all of you who have helped me to get where I am today, I cannot thank you enough - no matter how big or small your contribution has been. ๐
To all those who recommend me and my business and continue to do so, thank you. ๐ซถ This sort of profession relies heavily on word of mouth, so whenever you tag me in a post on Facebook or pass on my name and number, that really goes a long way. ๐ฃ๏ธ
If the next 4 years can be anywhere near as successful as the first 4 have been, I am one lucky man! ๐
Wishing all past and present learners, friends & family a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2026. ๐ฅณ
