As a driving instructor, I am sometimes asked what ADI & PDI mean
ADI - stands for Approved Driving Instructor
An ADI must have passed all 3 stages of the qualifications and test standards set by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) in order to teach others to drive.
This is an intensive course of three parts - part 1 Theory and Hazard Perception
- part 2 Practical Driving Skills
- part 3 Instructional Techniques
An ADI must be registered with the DSA - Driving Standards Agency
An ADI must show a 'GREEN' licence in the windscreen of the car when teaching pupils.
PDI - stands for 'Potential Driving Instructor'.
A PDI will have passed parts 1 and 2 above and are now undergoing a period of development and assessment while being mentored towrads passing part 3. They are qualified to teach and are working hard towards part 3.
A PDI must show a 'PINK' licence in their windscreen.
I do not in anyway suggest that a PDI is any less able to teach you or any less experienced but they are less qualified.
