    ADIT offers PDIs the opportunity to work under a trainee licence in order to gain full qualification as an ADI. Trainee Licence enquiries.

    Before a potential driving instructor (PDI) can start teaching pupils, they must first apply and pay for a trainee licence from the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

    A trainee licence enables a potential driving instructor (PDI) to:

    • Gain experience of instructing real pupils

    About the Trainee Licence

    • Prepare for the ADI Part 3 Test
    • Get paid for giving instruction

    A trainee licence is valid for 6 months from the date of issue. In some cases it's possible to reapply for a second trainee licence, although in order to receive it, the PDI will need to provide a good reason why they require it.
