In today’s competitive market it is important to develop an edge over the competition, and you can look forward to a rewarding and profitable future.

Excelsior’s course covers all the elements required for you to become one of the top trainers. It is our belief that all this industry's problems stem from poor initial training, Excelsior are here to change that, and have developed a high quality training course to develop and enhance your existing skills and knowledge.

Ordit Registration

Excelsior will guide you through the process, it is important to remember the ORDIT badge belongs to the individual ADI, and if you work for another organisation you will not require a premises certificate, although you still must complete accurate records.

If you intend to work for yourself then you will need to obtain both premises and trainer’s certificates. Contrary to popular belief you do not need a fixed actual office, and can use your vehicle in effect as your office. Both the trainer and premises are inspected biannually for quality assurance.

Please remember as with all Excelsior’s courses they prepare you to be a quality trainer, if you are after a quick training regime to get you through an inspection that is staged as per a PST, then you have come to the wrong place, our training regime prepares you to deliver a structured training syllabus to your trainees from beginning to end, to prepare them to be quality driving instructors, and ultimately raise the standards of Driving Instruction in the UK

You will be trained to a high standard and not trained just to deliver pre set exercises.

'For a full detailed syllabus or meeting to discuss use contact form.

Training hours will depend on the individual ADI’s current experience and capabilities. It is desirable that ADI’s have experience in the industry before training others to become ADI’s. Excelsior recommend at least three years experience before training the trainers.

This is our professional approach, the DSA consider one year ok in theory.

Anticipated timescales would be approx 6-10 days training, this training is well beyond the normal training offered by other organisations. For a recommendation from a previous course graduate see testimonials section

The DSA ORDIT examination form

As with all DSA instructional ability tests the overall result is determined by the core competencies. Obviously to achieve the required result there, the overall instructional techniques are vital.
It is important to remember a tutor is marked on his/her instructional techniques and core competencies used on the trainee, as well as improving the trainees instructional techniques and core competencies.
For example a tutor may identify a trainee’s weakness, analyse why the trainee had a weakness, analyse the consequences of that weakness, and remedy the weakness.
