KL Driver Training has supported over a thousand Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) and Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs). We help trainees progress confidently through every stage of their instructor journey.

We are proud to be Swindon’s leading driving instructor training school since 2012, following more than ten years of experience in London.

Our proven success has led many national driving schools—including AA, RED, BSM, LDC and M4W—to use our services for more than twenty years.

KL Driver Training is the only ORDIT‑registered instructor training company based in Swindon.

Kenny Lawrence, owner and lead trainer, is recognised as a DVSA ORDIT Highest Grade A instructor trainer. He completed the revised ORDIT inspection in 2023 with outstanding results and is among the few trainers in the UK to have passed the updated assessment.

PDI Training

KL Driver Training provides full support for all three parts of the PDI qualification. We ensure trainees meet the latest DVSA standards for each stage.

Part 1 – Theory Test

Part 1 includes two elements:

• A multiple‑choice test
• A hazard perception test

Both parts must be passed to complete Part 1.
We offer guidance and support to help trainees prepare effectively.

Part 2 – Driving Ability Test

Part 2 assesses the trainee’s advanced driving skills.
You must demonstrate a safe, professional standard of driving to a DVSA examiner.

The test lasts around one hour and includes:

• An eyesight check
• “Show me, tell me” questions
• A practical driving assessment

We provide tailored training to help you meet the required standard. Training hours can be agreed following an initial assessment drive. You can choose a discounted package or pay‑as‑you‑go.

Part 3 – Instructional Ability

Part 3 is the final stage before achieving ADI status.
You will deliver a lesson to a pupil while being assessed on:

• Lesson Planning
• Risk Management
• Teaching & Learning Strategies

The assessment lasts 45 minutes.
KL Driver Training provides full instructional and theoretical support to help you meet the updated DVSA requirements.

Approved Driving Instructors (ADI) – Standards Check

All ADIs must complete a Standards Check every four years.
During this assessment, a DVSA examiner evaluates your ability to deliver a client‑centred lesson.

KL Driver Training has helped many instructors achieve the required standard.
If you feel anxious about the assessment or have previously failed, we can help you prepare confidently.
