Train
Have you ever considered training to be a Driving Instructor?
Have you ever dreamed of being your own boss?
Imagine being able to choose the hours AND days you work.
Imagine never having to ask for time off, you just manage your own diary and YOU decide.
Train on Your Doorstep, around Your Current Work Commitments and Benefit from Unique Local Knowledge that will be invaluable when You start Working in the Local Area.
Benefit from True Family Values that have been the backbone of the driving school’s success since 1999
“I’m Donna and I am immensely proud to have built BDS Driving School from scratch, starting as single operator back in 1999 to where we currently teach in excess of 300 Local students per week”.
The business has been built by supplying quality instruction to both our learner driver customers and the general public who have trained with us, many of whom still work at the driving school as instructors.”
Contemplating a new career can be a very exciting venture but performing the necessary research before making such a life changing decision will be vital.
We are very confident that our “Ultimate Training Course” is the most comprehensive available anywhere in the local area but is this career change right for you?
We suggest Four vital steps to assist you in making the correct decision.
2. Pay a visit the office to witness first hand exactly how you would fit in to the team and to observe the day to day running of the driving school.
3. Ask every single question you can think of and I will give you a very honest answer. We have to be very transparent in everything we do as we live and operate on your doorstep.
4. Meet and speak to Tony Sumner or Paul Tilling our experience and trained instructor trainers. They will conduct all your training sessions on a 1-1 basis and it’s important that you know who he is and more importantly whether you feel you would gel with him.
5. Research what other training companies have to offer and you will then be able to make an informed comparison.
Even after conducting extensive research and commencing the training course, you may find that this is not for you after all and for this reason we wish to remove all the risk and offer a refund at any time and for any reason.
Many of our competitors assemble their courses to maximise their return and often squeeze up to three trainees to a single training vehicle and then hope their trainer can cope with all three at once. (Just one of the hidden costs of cheap training)
Just think about that for a second!
You will be dividing your valuable training time by three.
Our in-house Instructor Trainers, Tony or Paul will offer a personal 1-1 service throughout the course and will be with you every step of the way from your first assessment drive right through to the day when you qualify.
You will receive help and assistance at every step of the qualifying process and we will remain on hand with career guidance, business advice and personal development once you have become a fully Qualified driving instructor.
Our ADI training Courses are part time and follow a highly successful training structure. There is plenty of flexibility built in so that training can be arranged around your current commitments, this way you can work at your own pace.
Driving instructor training is most effective when carried out at regular intervals for short periods of time (2 -4 hours). This keeps you in frequent contact with your personal trainer, constantly motivated and allows adequate time for your home study between training sessions.
Contact Donna on 01253 320080 and ask about our Comprehensive Training Package and how we differ from the National Brands.
| Emma Bird | | |  “I initially trained with a National Company and failed my Part 3 test before discovering BDS Driving School. I had paid a huge amount for training with the National School that I found was of little benefit to me.
I knew if I didn’t find someone else to train me I would fail my part 3 again and all that money and time would be wasted.
Thankfully I found Donna Sumner who immediately made things clear. She quickly passed me on to their Head Trainer, Tony, who identified my weaknesses and demonstrated ways to improve. I don’t think I would have qualified if it had not been for Tony’s excellent tuition and knowledge.
I would highly recommend anybody considering becoming an ADI to contact Donna at BDS. You will not be disappointed with the amount of learning and understanding of the ADI tests you will gain over the weeks you work together.
I joined BDS on their Franchise system. It’s a great company to work with, they are very supportive and I have always had all the work I need”.

| Norrie Umpleby | | |  Norrie Umpleby
My name is Norrie and I am a driving instructor with BDS Driving School.
In 2003 I lived in Yorkshire and I felt I was at a standstill in my job, I wanted to do something I really enjoyed so started to think of other options to fulfill my life. I come across an advert for driving instructing and decided to investigate. I liked the idea of being my own boss. I also liked the idea of making a difference, be able to teach people a life time skill, to learn to drive safely.
I started on a trainee licence which I feel helped me as I was learning whilst instructing. I originally passed my part 3 test and received my ADI badge in 2004. I was teaching in a manual car at that time and really enjoyed the job. However, in 2007, due to unforeseen circumstances I didn’t renew my badge. After a couple of years, I regretted not renewing my badge and wasn’t in a position to retrain.
After I moved to Fleetwood, I decided to look into being self-employed again and I decided I wanted to get back into driving instructing. As I didn’t know the area very well I looked around to find a school that would give me the training locally so that I could get my ADI badge back again.
I found BDS on the internet and I liked what I saw. I looked at others and no one else compared to BDS so I made an appointment to see them. From the first time we met I knew this was the school for me. Donna and Tony made me very welcome and answered every question I had. They helped me tailor the training to suit my needs.
I passed my tests and got my ADI badge back again in March 2018. I left my admin job and started teaching straight away. I now instruct in automatic and really enjoy it.
BDS transformed my life and I have a full diary and ALL the help and support I could ever want.
I have never looked back.

| Marc T | | | I am currently training to be a Driving Instructor - I have found Tony (my trainer) to be very flexible - very easy going and clearly extremely experienced. I would highly recommend BDS to anyone
