Great team

Great team! Thank you to everyone for your amazing support whilst I have been training to become an ADI. Training and support from everyone has been brilliant, no question ever felt silly and I'm sure there were definitely some silly questions asked by me!
Special thanks to Jim Miller, for having faith in me even when I didn't. Thank you for making my training fun and supporting me through each stage. It has been great. Everyone at DITA is great. Thank you

Thank you to all at DITA!

Thank you to all at DITA for helping me pass my ADI part 3 test! They have all been fully supportive from the beginning of my journey right up until the last hurdle. Special mention to Jim for his excellent guidance and for continuing to believe in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you for everything and I can’t wait for an excellent work relationship!

Part 3 adi pass

Started my journey to be a driving instructor almost a year ago with system driving school . I passed my part 2 with training from Gary who is great trainer and very knowledgeable and then Jim miller polished me off for my part3 which I found quite hard training wise , Jim helped me a lot and got me over the finish line . Many thanks to the whole team at system driving school from the trainers to the office staff for all the great work & help they have provided me along the way . Onwards and upwards .

Gary and the DITA team have done an excellent job training me to become a fully qualified ADI. There is no stone left unturned within the training package and I felt well prepared going into my 3 stages of tests to pass. Also big shout out to the whole System team with their ongoing help and support on my journey.

Amazing support from the whole team…

Amazing support from the whole team Kevin, Lauren, Jim and everyone especially Gary my instructor, no issue was an issue thanks to Gary and the rest of them, even on the day of my part 2 even though things out of our control ie traffic became a problem cheers Gary! Thank you for all your support kindness and support not to mention the endless pit of knowledge passed over to end my day in the examiner's words apart from one tiny thing that was an absolutely faultless drive.
One very happy man.

Thank you Gary and the rest of the team.

Thank you Gary for the level of instruction provided to me on every stage of my ADI journey. Without him it would have been a different story. In addition I must say a big thank you to the backroom staff who rarely get a mention. You have all created a great company in System /DITA. Without all of your help it wouldn't have been possible. Thank you.

Forget the rest, choose the best!

I researched a lot before choosing DITA, the reason that I chose them was because they seemed to tick all the boxes for me, this has proven to be the case as I passed my Part 1, 1st time, my Part 2, 2nd time due to a silly mistake, and then my Part 3, 1st time.
The team are all very supportive, and I know that I can reach out to them whenever I need help and they will do their upmost to support me, which is so valuable. Special thanks to my Instructor trainer Gary who has always been at the end of the phone if I have needed anything, sometimes at weekends and evenings, nothing is too much, thanks Gary!

System Have trained and supported me every step of the way
Gary originally trained me then Jim guided me further Kevin very supportive and understanding as I had a set back but Kevin dealt with issue straight away
All the staff are encouraging whether your learning or training to be an instructor
Training to become an instructor and achieving this is highly recommendable
Being part of System joining the team is definitely worthwhile
Thank you System.
