Who is the best instructor to go with for driving instructor training part 3 in North East of England.

Hi all I have recently ran out of time for to pass my part 3 (reason I broke my Tibia bone and could not drive for 8 month's) so I had to cram 3 exam's into 2 month's.
I was with a training School and had 1 to 1 tution. My trainer told me I was a natural as I had studyed hard and after coming back from my Broken leg put all my time and money into it. He was sure I would not fail but as you guessed I did.
I had some really good lesson's with him and was convinced I could do it, but when it came to the Exam I had seen nothing like it and noticed my trainer had forgot to mention a few things that as well as my fault cost me.
I feel that once I had done training I needed putting into some mock tests the way I would be graded. I done some Mock tests and they all went great but once the examiner took me things were not as easy as my instructor had made it. in all 3 exam's I could not get hold of the lesson the examiner seem to put lots of things in and at one stage I think about 8 faults occurred (also ramming gears in to put you off your subject). I felt as I was explaining and given a full talk through but they seemed not to listen.

I know I can do it as I have/had 5 pupil's of my own who now I have passed onto instructor friends as I have no Licence now and they are all going in for tests shortly.

From my 3 Exam's I passed part 1 twice but failed part 2 and 3rd I failed part 1 and passed part 2 :-( Silly me). on the parts I passed I got lot's of 5's and some 6's but only 3's on the failed bits.

Any1 out there help me Please, I cant give up thats not the way I work .

Hi, i feel your your frustration! i can recommend someone who i worked some years ago and is now running a very succesfull school/training, i dont think it would be fair to publicise his site or name on here, if you PM me with your email adress i will give you his details, (he has recently aquired an x supervising examiner to work with him)

I don't see why not, if the guy is good why not tell everyone.

I did not think you could advertise on this forum! but you asked so his name is Dean Henson and his company is called Inspire driver training based in Sunderland.

Quite right...we tell everyone when we 'think' they are rubbish

Absolutely Triker - I agree!

Getting an ex-SEADI on board is a very shrewd business move - clearly someone who marks the criteria for passing a part 2/3 would be of interest to those wishing to pass the exams. However is there a risk of only teaching someone to pass a test?

Does a good examiner make a good trainer? (this is a general question and not aimed at the specific business) - In the same way does a good instructor make a good examiner - we can spot faults but can we make the necessary "assessment" required to weight and mark these accurately?

You can't advertise something that you have a connection to, but if its just recommending a service, a trainer, garage, accountant, supplier thats no problem. Its when every post becomes a party political broadcast for the services of ZZZ Instructor Services it gets a bit monotonous.

Ok Thanks, seems like a very short list considering how many trainers are out there thought I would get a massive amount of people telling me how good thier trainer is . Can I ask this question on the ADI forum ? just all of them will of past so would be good to find out what they thought of their trainer.

i went to Hull for my part 3 training with a guy called Harry who is very good (hence why i'm an ADI) If you'd like his number PM me.
