My training has been such an eye opening experience, I’ve been driving professionally for 30 plus years and yet having instructions from Gary Battison and system driving school showed me the errors and where I needed to improve, its intense and sometimes I felt like a complete novice, over the last couple of months Gary has stripped my driving apart and put it back together in the correct order, today I past my part 2 test and it’s all thanks to Gary and system driving school, words can’t express the gratitude so I ill say thank you

Hard work but well worth it

I can Only say from my own personal experience, That without any doubt, that to say that they are supportive throughout the entire process is an understatement doesn’t do that statement justice, Although it has been a long and difficult road to become an ADI, that was for me just life getting in the way and throwing me curveballs, but the entire crew at System are there every step of the way, and were happy to help no matter what! Yes it’s difficult and yes you have to put a lot of hard work into it to get through it, but is definitely worth it, Huge thanks to all the guys in the office but more so to Kevin, Gary and Jim for their support knowledge and encouragement, If your thinking of becoming an ADI I cannot speak highly enough of them!

ADI part 2 test

I passed my part 2 first time, a few days ago, and I am really happy.
The whole set up at System is great. I always feel comfortable when at the office for meetings or training.
Kevin welcomed me from the first enquiry I made, and I saw passion and pride in what he told me about System driving school and it is that which made me choose to do my training with them.
I want to show my appreciation for my trainer Gary Battison. He is a highly skilled trainer but it is also his human touch of having patience and providing encouragement whilst teaching, and he gave me that bit of self belief that I could actually do this-thank you Gary.

Unbelievable support and advice....

From the moment I made my first phonecall to Mapline House up to the moment I passed my Pt3 assessment I was assisted, supported and encouraged in every way towards reaching my goal of being a well trained qualified ADI. The help given and the knowledge provided are second to none and with the help of Gary and the whole team I have finally got to where I wanted to be!
