🎉 One year qualified! Congratulations, Andy! 🚗
On 14 October 2025, Andy Farley qualified as an Approved Driving Instructor after training with us at Driving Skills Academy.
It’s a pleasure to look back at the people we’ve supported and see where their journey takes them. Andy has since gone on to work independently, and I wish him every success as he continues building his own driving instruction business. 👏
Could a career change be on the cards for you too?
Helping someone go from those nervous first lessons to driving independently is a rewarding way to earn a living. It also gives you the opportunity to build your own business and organise your working week around your commitments.
At Driving Skills Academy, we offer:
✅ A structured training programme to guide you through the ADI qualification process.
✅ Practical in-car training and online learning, helping you develop both your driving and teaching skills.
✅ Personal mentoring and feedback, including observing real lessons to help turn theory into effective teaching.
✅ The opportunity to work towards the IDEA Level 5 qualification, alongside your ADI training.
✅ Business and diary-management guidance, helping you prepare for life as a working instructor.
As an instructor trainer, I love helping people develop the confidence and skills to take this step. Andy’s anniversary is a lovely reminder of where that journey can lead. 💙
Congratulations, Andy. Proud to have played a part in your journey!
