“I trained to become an ADI with Caledonian and the experience was top class throughout. My in-car training with Mark Allan was excellent, he really takes the time to ensure you fully understand everything and gives you ample opportunities to practice and grow your skills. Stewart is always readily available to chat through any worries or concerns and he always made sure I was receiving as much help and support as I needed. The online materials provided were key to my success: videos analysing each skill and competency required to pass the instructional test were available 24/7 via the online Caledonian ADI Masterclass. I highly recommend Caledonian LDT to anyone that is anyone looking to become a driving instructor.

Driving Instructor Training
“Training to become a driving instructor requires a commitment to your training and ambition to run your own business.
The best part of what I do for a living is not actually helping someone through their driving instructor training – it’s what happens from the day we meet till a year or two after you've qualified. It’s the whole process. My job is not to help people pass tests. It’s to help people grow; to become self-employed, self-sufficient and self-aware.
Whether it's learner driver training or progressing your own career towards instructor training, Caledonian LDT will help you improve.
At Caledonian, we've created a driving school built around the requirements of our people and we've helped countless people switch career over the years.
Every new ADI is different, with different ideas about where they'd like to be in 5 years time. Learners, special needs, driving instructor training, fleet work, ADI development or a combination of all of these things; we can discuss your goals together and help you structure a development plan to help you succeed."
Stewart Lochrie. Managing Director, Caledonian LDT.

“Caledonian LDT was recommended to me by Pauline (Driving Instructor) and everything she told me about the company came to fruition.
I undertook my ADI Training with Caledonian LDT and during this process, both Mark (Training Manager) and Stewart (Director) were there every step of the way. This was then supplemented by Andy (Training Manager) in preparation for my part 3 test.
When I decided to take a franchise with Caledonian LDT, Lauren (Office Manager) supported me in transitioning from my previous job to becoming a full-time instructor. Organising my diary with students based on the parameters I had provided.
The people associated with Caledonian LDT continue to be accessible and go out their way to continue supporting you, whether it is the Director, Training Managers, Instructors or the Office Manager.” Andrew MacMillan, September 2022
