When I decided to become a driving instructor, I did some serious research and looked at most of the major schools. I also read a lot of reviews and looked into how the companies operated. To be truthful I was shocked. Many just gave you books and videos to learn from. The one company that shined amongst the others was System and everything I looked at or thought about led me back to them. From the minute I contacted them they have been brilliant in every way. I was immediately made to feel welcome and part of the team and it didn't matter what it was, admin, advice, learning, there was someone there. No question was too daft. Even though I will be self employed I feel as if I'm part of something bigger. The instruction has been superb and my highly qualified instructors never cease to amaze me. One thing I have learned since starting is that System is highly respected in the industry. Which does give me a sense of pride. I've been driving a lot of years but I have learned things and am now thinking in a different way. Ways I'd never thought of. I am now well on the way to my new career but I owe an awful lot too the people at System for their support. I made the right choice definitely and I would thoroughly recommend them. If it's something you are thinking of give them a call or look at their Website. You might just change your life. It's changed mine.

Got all the books and a learning app which was super helpful. Also, got some help to prepare to the hazard perception part of the theory test which made it easier to understand expectations of the exam.

The instruction, guidance, support and coaching I was given by Gary and the team made it possible for me to understand the training material and level of studying required which resulted in me passing my ADI 1 theory test first time yesterday. Advice is always on hand along with a genuine want to see you succeed.

I want to start with naming my trainer Gary Battison.
121 training in person no AI or zoom. I felt that I got my monies worth with Gary. In life it’s always a story of you get what you pay for and this was the case. Yes it was more expensive than some others but the end result was more reward. Kevin also helped so much while I was in training, as I was juggling a full time job in between training Kevin ensured that I can transition over from a PDI to ADI without compromising my income. Very happy to pass all my 3 tests first time.
So can’t thank all the staff at System.

Can't speak highly enough of the DITA!
18 months ago, considering a change of career, I decided to take a leap of faith and train to become a driving instructor!
Last week I passed my final exam and am now a fully qualified ADI!
I want to say a big thank you to all the team at DITA, their support whenever you need it is second to none. Everyone I met there throughout my journey were always welcoming, friendly and happy to support however they can. It's a great team there, I really enjoyed the workshops provided gaining valuable knowledge and also meeting other instructors along the way sharing experiences and supporting each other.
Finally a special thanks to my trainer, Gary - your expertise, alongside your patience and encouragement has been fantastic - thank you!

Very long process for me but I got there in the end with DITA. Very special thanks to Jim who was my trainer , always there to help. Thank you

From the start I was made to feel part of a community. Open days where you get to meet other trainee instructors within the organisation and by everyone of all levels and abilities being there, those further along the journey are more than happy to give advice and give confidence to absolute learners at the start of the course.
At the beginning it felt like that nothing much was happening, but the training soon picks up pace, but only in bite size pieces, meshed together to form one completed unit, ready for your assessment, whether it is a theory test or a driving assessment.
From start to finish, I have had full support from the team and excellent training from my instructor Gary Battison. Gary helped me progress effortlessly. He is a skilled instructor that has worked with many learning instructors and learners. His teaching is thorough throughout the whole process. He inspires and encourages the best from you and corrects behaviours seamlessly. He is a credit to System and I am grateful for the training and encouragement I received.

I’ve passed my ADI Part-2 test today. My ADI trainer is Mr. Gary. I’ve learnt a lot from him which I didn’t know or learnt in the last 35 years of my driving. Which has helped me to drive confidently and passed my highly confident driving test.
Now I’m looking forward to get training from Gary to pass the final ADI Prt-3 training test to qualify as a Driver Training Instructor.
Thank you Gary for all the help and support.

Good helpful instructors whether out in the car or in the classroom , always got time for you even when its the 4th time you've asked the same question & the office staff are always friendly & available to help with any problems . System driving must be doing something right as I passed my Pt 2 without too much difficulty .

I’m really happy with the support I’ve received from the team at System. Gary is very knowledgeable and thorough.

Having qualified as a driving instructor with System Driving School from start to finish, I can honestly say that I cannot recommend the school higher. Their level of professionalism, warmth, understanding and compassion in all kinds of situations; is that of a company that shows no strain in going above and beyond, not just for their customers but equally for their instructors. Being a family founded Driving School that quality is still extremely present today. The level of training I received from Mr Gary Battison was second to none. Gary is clearly held in very high regards amongst the official driving examiners at the test centres. Every test that I have take the feedback always emphasised and acknowledged how Gary and the System team have extremely high standards. I can say from first hand experience that I feel extremely lucky and privileged to have found the School and Gary. I honestly feel that I have been trained by the best in the industry. It’s also great to know that I can also continue to grow and learn with the ongoing support from the team. Thank you so much guys, the team is truly amazing and I am so happy to be a part of it.

From the office staff, the other instructors and trainees I have met along the way and to my fabulous instructor Gary…your support, patience, encouragement, knowledge, guidance and friendship has proved invaluable. Always welcoming and always there! I am so grateful to you all and I am so proud to be part of your wonderful team. Thank you

Gary has been amazing. He is so good at explaining everything and brakes it down so it's easier to remember the information.
The rest of the staff are so friendly and very helpful and encouraging. I've loved my experience so far
