Training locations and fees - Trainer Training

Training is currently based in Buxton, Derbyshire and at Johns home base of Boyle, Ireland

Buxton

Situated in the Peak district of Derbyshire Buxton is an almost perfect location for the teaching of all types of driving, especially learners. This makes it ideal for trainer training. Buxton is also fairly central with regards to England, Scotland and Wales and is less than an hour away from the major motorway networks.

The standard Trainer-Training course is five days covering all aspects of the exam but focusing mainly on Part-Three. In addition to new trainers, this course is also suited to those who already have some instructor training experience - the methods taught are unique to SmartDriving. John Farlam's approach to ADI training will not only make training more enjoyable for both trainers and students, it is also proven to improve Part-Three results.

most of your visit and see some of the spectacular countryside in
my adopted homeland)

One-to-One fee in both the UK and Ireland is £3,800 - however,
my personal opinion is that shared courses offer much better learning value in (addition to financial value).
