FIONA'S STORY
A quicker route through Part 2 and on to the trainee licence.
Fiona's route to becoming an Approved Driving Instructor involved making practical decisions along the way to keep her training moving forward.
To speed up the qualification process, Fiona travelled with Marcus to Upton to take her ADI Part 2 driving ability test rather than waiting longer for a suitable local test.
After successfully completing Part 2, Fiona chose to continue her development on a trainee licence. This allowed her to gain valuable experience teaching real pupils while continuing to work towards the instructional standard required for ADI Part 3.
Within six months, Fiona successfully passed her Part 3 in Rhyl, completing the final qualifying test and becoming a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor.
