Choose Gary as your trainer, he’ll steer you right

Over the moon to have passed my ADI part 3 first attempt today. I know without a doubt I couldn’t have done it without Gary and the whole team at system.
Gary strikes the perfect balance of making you aware of where you need to improve and also instilling confidence on the things that you do well.
He always went the extra mile, taking time out of his day to answer any questions I would send him and always adapted to what I needed each training session.
It really feels like he’s coaching you as the individual, and his area knowledge, technical expertise and years of teaching experience are invaluable.

Top Training

My training with System Driving School has been amazing. Especially with my instructor Andy Rampley. He is so knowledgeable and understanding when giving advice. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without his help! Thank you!

Great experience from the beginning. From Lauren doing the intro and providing info, through to Gary taking the instructor lessons, System/DITA have been great on my driving instructor journey.

I 100% recommend the DITA!

I have recently finished my Part 2 training with DITA and I am over the moon to say I’ve passed my part 2 test last week. My trainer, Gary Battison, has been amazing throughout the process. He is professional, knowledgeable, and really helped me prepare thoroughly for the test.

I would definitely recommend DITA to anyone looking for high-quality instructor training. Passing this stage has made me really excited to continue my journey, start my Part 3 training, and finally become a fully qualified driving instructor. Thanks, Gary!

The Best Way to Become a Driving Instructor

I have really enjoyed my training with Gary, he really knows his craft! With DITA, you're not just another number to get through the door, they really want you to pass and become a great instructor, and hopefully, after them getting me through my part 2, I will be!

Can’t fault them, couldn’t have had a better experience

Absolutely can’t fault Gary at all, had a great experience training for part 2 as I did for 1. Unfortunately due to my car being broken down for a while, I had a short-ish window to fit in a few mocks before my test but Gary was very accommodating and got it all booked in so I could be confident on my test day. Very patient and great at calming nerves as well as delivering great teaching and pushing you to be that bit better of a driver!

Couldn't have found a better training academy

So happy to be on this ADI journey with DITA. I looked around a bit but nothing really compared to what they had to offer.
I feel extremely supported by my trainer, Gary. The rest of the team are great too -like an extension of my family.
From day one it felt like I can ask any question and be open about my way of learning.
I am definitely getting good value for my money and I am looking forward to the rest of my journey.
