Why We Don’t Publish Our Instructors’ Details

We prioritize the safety and privacy of our driving instructors and students. Unfortunately, there have been instances where unscrupulous individuals have used the details and pass photos of legitimate instructors to scam people on social media platforms like Facebook. To prevent this, we have decided not to publish the personal details of our Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) and Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs).

How to Verify a Valid ADI or PDI

It is crucial to ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate driving instructor.
Here are some steps you can take to verify if someone is a valid ADI or PDI:

• Check the ADI Badge: A valid ADI should have a green badge displayed on the windscreen of their car. A PDI will have a pink badge. The rear of the badge will display a photo of the instructor and their details.

• Search the ADI Register: You can verify an instructor’s credentials by searching the official ADI Register on the government’s website. (Note not all instructors choose to have their details displayed on the website)
• Contact the DVSA: The DVSA will be able to confirm if a person is on the register of instructors.

Stay Safe Online

Be cautious of individuals claiming to be driving instructors on social media. Always verify their credentials through official channels and avoid sharing personal information such as driving licence details with anyone you haven’t verified.

Instructors should be using the “Share your driving licence information” service not asking for photos of your driving licence.
