The Driving Instructor Training Academy (DITA) Omdömen 

I started my driver instructor training in 2017 with DITA trainer Gary Battison. The training was very thorough and Gary has a wealth of experience and knowledge.
DITA also offer lots of support and ongoing training.
I feel part of a great team and would highly recommend to anybody thinking of taking the plunge and becomming a driving instructor.

I trained as a driving instructor in 2016/7 with DITA trainer Gary Battison. Gary made the whole process both fun and thought provoking from start to finish.

Post qualifying the support from Kevin DeCort and Gary Battison at DITA and it’s sister company System Driving School together with their admin team has been second to none.

I’ve been with system driving school since 2017 and have enjoyed my experience as a instructor with them there’s always lots going on whether it’s training pupils or Learning new skills through different workshops that the office run for us at system they are great at keeping my books full of work and are always there for me if I need to call them.The training I received from the start on my part one part two and part three was excellent with all the support I needed from my d I t trainer Gary Battison. I thought I knew everything about driving being a black cab driver for 25 years until I met Gary Lol . The new skills Gary taught me over the training period has definitely helped me become a better driver and also I would like to hope a better teacher ! One of the best part about this job is that we not only teach people to drive but Teach people a new skill for life. I enjoy working with system driving school because it’s not only a job but a great family atmosphere as well and we all work as one team.

I can’t thank Gary and Kevin enough for the help and assistance I got during my training to become an instructor,Gary’s training and his ability to change his method of explanation if I was struggling with something really helped me,the greatest compliment I can pay him is that many of my pupils remark on the way I explain things to them makes their learning process so much smoother and easier,the back up from the office is exceptional, if ever I have a question or need advice it is dealt with immediately.I have no hesitation in recommending the DITA to anyone who is considering becoming an instructor.

Having been made redundant in mid 2018, I wanted to change my career but needed to start earning again within a reasonable time. I chose to became a driving instructor with System Driving school and received my training through the Driving Instructor Training Academy from Gary Battison and I couldn’t have wished for a better or more knowledgable trainer. He helped me pass all three parts of the qualification at the 1st attempt which enabled me to start teaching after just 4 months. I could not have done this without Gary’s expert tuition.

Since qualifying, the team have hosted a number Standards Check workshops which have enabled me to continue my learning and improve my skills, not just from the training team, but also learning from the experiences of other driving instructors.

As well as regular team meetings with other instructors at the school to discuss any problems or changes within the industry (which have been particularly useful through the recent pandemic), the team have also arranged additional training to support me with my Continuous Personal Development which have included a 1st Aid course and skid pan training days..

All in all, a great team providing great support who have enabled me to change to a new and fulfilling career.

I started training with DITA later in my working life and came from a totally different career. With the help of Gary I passed all my tests first time. There was always support from the team with setting up and any problems I met along the way. I couldn't recommend them enough.

I started my training in 2017 & went out teaching in 2018.
Gary is an amazing trainer. I didn’t find it easy, but Gary kept me going with constant encouragement & terrible jokes.
The support of the whole team at System is second to none.
I passed part 3 in 2019 & I haven’t looked back.
I love this job & all at System are my family now.
Thank you all for everything you’ve done, & continue to do for all of us.

From the moment I meet Kevin & Sarah at Systems Driving Schools Open evening in early 2017, I could feel the warmth & family atmosphere that is Team System. Kevin explained throughly the ins & outs of becoming a Driving Instructor. At no time did he make you feel being part of the Team would be anything but positive. He was available at all hours too answer any questions. The financial assistance offered to potential ADI’s was explained thoroughly.

My training for both my Part 2 & 3 of being an ADI was given by Gary Battison. He was a constant source of knowledge & guidance (you may need to appreciate a wicked sense of humour). With his help & support I passed all my exams and qualified as an ADI in May 2018.

I’m currently offering Automatic lessons in my Hyundai Kona Electric in the Chelmsford area under the ever positive and friendly banner of System Driving School.

For anyone looking for a career change I cannot praise DITA more highly.

DITA did a great job in prepping me for my theory test. They gave me everything I needed and I had full support.

A big thank you to Kevin and the team at system driving school for welcoming and training me to become an ADI.
The training provided by Gary was outstanding and was supported every step of the way, highly recommend system driving school for ADI training and driving lesson.

Gary and the team have been brilliant in my training and getting me through my part 1 and 2. Thier continued support will no doubt make part 3 a doddle. Very understanding and flexible with my training and happy to help me with any needs I had.

Amazing experience learning with Gary and DITA. Can't praise them all enough for the enjoyable and informative lesson preparing me for a new career path!

I passed my ADI part two at the first attempt with the friendly assistance from Gary and the DITA team. They worked closely with me on my weaker points to ensure I was up to a high driving standard before my test date. Thank you!

I passed my ADI Part 1 in June and the training and support I received was fantastic. They provided me with everything I needed to be able to pass and I couldn’t have asked for more! Can’t wait to pass my part 2 now :)

I enjoyed using theory test pro was very simple and fun. Liked paperback books to help.
