We offer a range of courses suited to every budget and lifestyle.

 A driving instructor provides guidance on how to drive a vehicle safely on the roads, enabling students to gain a full understanding of all aspects of driving in order to increase their skills in a specific area or to gain a full driving licence. The fundamental role of the driving instructor is to provide tuition to students who either want to pass their driving test, or who want to improve their level of driving, however there are many paths to advance your career.
Everyone who wants to drive a vehicle of any description will need to acquire a licence, and the vast majority of the average driving instructor’s workload will involve students wishing to pass their practical driving test. You have the freedom to choose your own working hours, use of a fully equipped vehicles, high earning potential, guaranteed school placement with us, possibility of running your own business once qualified.
What's the Process?
The path to becoming a driving instructor starts in the classroom or at home, studying hard for the first exam, the written test. Your tutor will guide you through the process and advise you when your ready for the first exam.
The second exam will be the practical driving test. One of our highly qualified trainers will introduce you to the finer points of driving. Your standard will be required to be of a higher level then that for a basic driving test.
Your third and final challenge will be to demonstrate your teaching skills to the examiner. A minimum of forty hours tuition will be dedicated to this subject alone. Your specialist instructor will steer you through this task, testing your knowledge gained in the written test and your practical skills from the second.  Along the way you will be shown how to best use these skills to teach people to drive.
Take your time to read through our course options then give us a call to book an appointment for an informal chat with one of our trainers who can answer any questions that you may have.
Why Use ICE?
ORDIT is the official register of driving instructor training. This is a voluntary register that requires a biannual inspection of the trainers, vehicles, administration and its premises, also giving us a code of practice to abide by. Not all instructor trainers choose to do this. We do and we are proud of the service and training we give.
