The training which I received from Elite Training was superb. The instructors were very informative, helpful and professional. I was very happy with the training that I received. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they couldn't do enough to help. I did all three parts of my ADI training with Elite and managed to pass all the stages and become fully qualified. I am now running my own driving school which is doing very well. Elite Training even offered help when my check test came round about six months after I had qualified and my training was complete.

I had started training with ELITE in 2007, but after having passed part 2 (which was easy, being trained by them), I had to move to Poole and due to the distance decided to continue my training with another company. What a nightmare! My training for part 3 appeared to turn into a dead end, so I decided to take the 2.5 hours journey from Poole to Croydon to continue my training with ELITE and successfully passed part 3. It was well worth the 5 hours journey there and back and actually cost me less than the dilemma with the instructor of the other company, who was only after my leaking wallet. The ELITE instructors are very patient, professional and their lessons are well worth the money. After having passed, I also received very helpful advice concerning my future career. Thank you very much for everything!

Just a quick note to show my appreciation for the commitment and time delivered to me when I needed it the most, having failed my first attempt at part 3. With only 3 hours remedial training offered by my original school, ELITE stepped in and provided great support and helped to rebuild my confidence, and focus on how to develop my knowledge and technique to achieve that vital pass. With a fresh approach and simple measured solutions to typical faults committed by SEs on the test, I went from 2-2 fail to 4-4 pass in 8 weeks. But it's not just the time - it was the commitment shown to me as a student who needed help. The ELITE instructors are brilliant at their jobs and a great credit to the industry; the DSA should give you an award for excellence.

I cannot praise highly enough the quality of training I received. There were many times when I thought I would have to give up due to work commitments but the patient encouragement of my ELITE tutors helped me to persevere and pass the part three test at the first attempt. I often travelled long distances to train with these guys, but I couldn't imagine training with anyone else. I look forward to working with ELITE in the future.

I received the highest degree of teaching from both Ian and Eddie to allow me to succesfully pass my ADI training first time. They showed the utmost professionalism and patience to give me the confidence to forge a great relationship with them both, making me feel relaxed and understanding the wide knowledge they both possess. I would recommend Elite to anyone wishing to be trained as an ADI.

I recently passed my Part 3 exam, and now that I have come down from cloud nine, I feel that I must pass on my thanks to Ian and Eddie for the expert guidance and instruction that I received from them. During the year or so that I was under their wings, I was really impressed by their depth of knowledge and the level of professionalism that was displayed throughout the whole of my training, and I am confident that the excellent grounding I received will go a long way in helping me make a success of my new career. The lessons were always pitched at the right level with a healthy mix of hard work and humour and I always came away from the lessons with a feeling of achievement and excellent value for money. If you are reading this, you are clearly contemplating a career as an ADI and I can assure you that by enrolling with Elite you will be giving yourself the best possible chance of success. As I venture out into the big world of Driving Instruction, I will always remember and apply the training and knowledge that was passed on by Ian and Eddie, and I know that it will stand me in good stead. Good luck to you all.

I trained with Ian and Eddie in 2007 and during that time found their experience and encouragement to be invaluable. Each lesson was clear and concise, and any uncertainty was easily put to rest. This has led to me finding work with the AA, so I would like to give a massive thanks to Ian and Eddie!

Can I wish you all the very best with Elite Training. I look back at your tutorship with gratitude. Your teaching standards were exceptionally high while at the same time you made the learning fun. I hope I can pass the same mixture on to my own pupils so they can enjoy the learning experience as well.

Ted Chalk, Cobham, Surrey

Just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic training I received from you. I was nervous before I started my training but made to feel at ease straight away and grew in confidence, greatly due to the excellent trainer I had who was always friendly, punctual and came across as someone who loved what they did which ultimately made learning much more fun.

Julia Rolfe, Hayes, Middlesex

This is to say that I trained to be a driving instuctor with Eddie and Ian in 2007 and I am fully qualified now, thanks to them. I found them very professional and patient, I wish them the very best for the future, thank you

Deborah Clitheroe, London E1

I started my training with ELITE in April 2006 and as I was working in another job I took my time and was able to train at my own pace which I found very convenient. I qualified in June 2007 and passed both my part 2 and part 3 first attempt, which without the help of ELITE I could not have done. I was always able to book my training at the times I chose and never had to wait. I would recommend ELITE to anyone who wants to train to be an ADI as they are not only very professional they are also friendly and helpful if you need any extra advice. I have recently had my first check test and went to see ELITE for advice and guidance on this. They helped me achieve a good grade and made the test less of a worry for me. I now have my own Mini which I teach in and find the job very rewarding when learners pass their test. Thanks ELITE!
