About our driving instructor training
All of our driving instructor trainers are carefully chosen. When you join us you will receive access to our online Training Zone which is exclusive to anyone paying us for instructor training.
Before you join, speak to the owner of the company Anthony Johnson, grade A 51/51 (the highest grade you can get) and ORDIT registered, rather than a sales person. Not convinced? Then ask to talk to our head of instructor training. He’s avery well known Ex DSVA ADI examiner. All driving instructor training is overseen by the owner and our head of training which is why we have a 100% success (based on never having a trainee fail the part 2 or 3 three times).
Training costs and how it works
We have three very successful ways to train to become a driving instructor with driveJohnson’s. All courses are 50 hours. We also welcome partly trained PDIs from other training providers.
For each course, you can either pay in full or a deposit.
Option 1: Most popular Fast Track Local 1-2-1
About the course
Receive 50 hours of 1-2-1 training close to where you live with one of our approved driveJohnson's trainers.
Time frame
Most trainees complete this course within 6 to 12 weeks of signing up.
Deposit payment schedule
Option 2: Fast Track Travel 2-1
About the course
You will need to be prepared to travel for your training so we can help you complete the course as quickly as possible. Your Part 2 training will be one-to-one, and you will be paired with a trainee on your Part 3 training. You should be reasonably flexible on this course and be prepared to complete the Part 2 training in 1 week and the Part 3 over the course of 1 to 3 weeks.
Time frame
In many cases, we can have you trained and teaching on a trainee licence within 4 to 8 weeks when you choose this course.

Option 3: Go at your own pace 1-2-1
About the course
Many trainees like to take the course at a pace which suits them. Choose to start with just 2-4 hours a week or increase the tempo when you get the Part 3. This course is perfect for those who want to work around an existing job. All of your training will be one to one.
Time frame
Most trainees complete this course within 3-6 months of signing up, but can take longer if they wish. If you want to speed it up, then your trainer can do up to 10 hours a week with you. You should consult your trainer in advance if you would like to increase the training sessions each week.
Deposit payment schedule
Option 4: Partly trained, pay as you go
We have many trainees coming to driveJohnson's needing a second opinion, some needing help on their last attempt at the Part 3 and others who want to join our driving instructor franchise and finish their training with us too.
If you are coming to us after completing your initial 50 hours training then we can still help you and these will be your training rates.
You can pay in blocks of 10 hours to save money in the long run, or top up by the hour.
What happens after you pay?
- Once you make a payment, you will receive a welcome email with login details to our online training zone and details on how to progress with the course.
- Within 24 hours, our head of instructor training will call you to introduce themselves and welcome you to our Instructor Training Programme. They will run through your circumstances in more detail and make sure you are comfortable with the next steps in becoming a driving instructor.
- Over the phone and by email, you will receive guidance whenever you need it from our head of training.
- We promise we won’t sub contract your hard earned money out to another training provider – yes, unfortunately this does happen in our industry! All of our trainers are approved by the owner, Anthony Johnson – a grade A 51/51, ORDIT registered trainer.
