I started my instructor training with a large college and, unfortunately,
failed Part 3 twice. I was then recommended to contact John Pierrepont, which
thankfully I did. John instantly made everything much clearer and easy to
understand, I learnt more in one hour with him, than in a whole day with
my previous trainer. I then passed Part 3 with John’s help, guidance
and encouragement. When I received the date for my first check test, I contacted
John again and carried out check test preparation with him. This enabled
me to achieve a Grade 6. John is a very friendly and professional instructor
and I would recommend him every time.

I trained with John from the start, so cannot compare his training to other
individuals or other organisations. However, first time passes speak for
themselves. I researched carefully before committing to a trainer and found
John through www.drivertrainingtoday.co.uk. I am so glad that I did. What
he doesn’t know about driving and both learner & ADI training could
be written on the back of a postage stamp. However, it’s his ability
to impart that knowledge and enable others to understand and put it into
practice for themselves, that makes him special. ADI training is not easy,
and there were moments when I thought I would never get it all to come together.
However, John’s humour, patience and understanding enabled me to succeed.
In addition, John gives way more than his hourly fees. His hospitality and
chats over lunch were over and above what I paid for. Many thanks also to
John’s instructors, Alex, Steve and Mick who let me watch them teach
for real. I learnt something new from you all. John you’re a star!!
Thank you for setting me on the road to a new career.
John White ADI
I did some Part 3 training with John just prior to my third attempt at Part
3, due to the fact that my regular trainer was on holiday for 3 weeks (how
inconvenient). But I found John’s methods very, very easy and helpful.
His role-play as “Trevor” was so good and typical of a Supervising
Examiner on a Part 3 test. The “sit down” chats and de-briefs
in his office at his home I found helpful indeed. I passed my part 3 in Chesterfield
on 10th May on my third attempt after over 2 years training. Although John
played a small part in my road to becoming an ADI, I owe him a big thank
you, because I believe he found and fitted the last final piece of the jigsaw
(so to speak). Thanks John.

To pass your Part 3 exam there is no substitute for good quality training
and for that you should look no further than John Pierrepont. After initially
training with and becoming totally despondent by a national training organisation,
I realised I needed some extra help. I didn’t want to shell out thousands
again so I when I saw John offered the pay as you go option it was perfect.
I wasn’t disappointed either. You soon find out he isn’t a grade
6 trainer for no reason and his wealth of knowledge, structured lessons and
invaluable advise were a godsend. I sat in on lessons with his instructors,
which was a fantastic eye opener too. John’s reputation is such that
PDI’s from Scotland travel to Derby to train with him.

John Pierrepont trained me to become an ADI in the year 2000, and I have
not looked back since. John will be committed to you, honest with you and
train you to teach to his own high standards. I have met and worked with
instructors who have been trained with other training providers that left
huge gaps in their knowledge and ability, they then come to John for serious
remedial work. I work mainly as an independent instructor, but I am still
closely involved with John. My work comes completely through recommendations,
which reflects the high standard of training that John gave me, and his continued
support and guidance since I qualified.
Vicky Wagstaff ADI
I was training with a large training provider but felt that I was not making
progress. John Pierrepont was recommended to me. I found him to be very approachable,
and with his guidance, support and encouragement I was able to build my confidence.
I decided to continue my training with John, and subsequently achieved my
ADI qualification. Without John’s help, I don’t feel that I would
be where I am today, which is a very busy, competent and successful instructor.
Steve Brown ADI
Thank you to the John Pierrepont School Of Motoring
I have been with John from the start of my training so I can’t comment
on other training courses, but I have heard some terrible stories of confidence
shattering, demoralising and expensive tuition by some of these places. So
on a happier note I’m really pleased to have found John first time
round. His professionalism and complete knowledge and understanding of what
makes a good instructor, made training for a new career, enjoyable and structured.
I looked forward to each and every training session and endless times I sat
in the back of actual lessons. I passed Part 3 first time, even though the
old nerves got going, I knew I could overcome them with the tools and knowledge
John put into place. Thanks John and all the ADI’s at John Pierrepont
School Of motoring, not forgetting Trevor.
Kevin Murphy ADI
I passed my Part 3 this week at my third attempt. After failing twice John
was recommended to me and I feel that the lessons I received with him have
been invaluable. I agree with all the things said here, John is professional,
experienced and thorough. I owe him a big thank you!
Steve Thornhill PDI
I’ve worked for one of the bigger driving schools on a pink licence,
taken my Part 3 for the third time and failed. I was about to give up when
I heard about John, charging an hourly rate, what have I got to lose? As
soon as I spoke to John I knew that I had to continue to get my green licence.
I passed Parts 1 & 2, now the big climb to number three. With John’s
knowledge I know I will get there, the one to one training that I receive,
telephoning him with any problems etc. john is always there, he is very passionate
about all his trainees. What a difference to have some one who is actually
interested in you passing and not just out for your money.
Steve Thornhill ADI
Well here we are again, to say a massive thank you to the John Pierrepont
School Of Motoring in Derby. As before with Parts 1 & 2 John has given
me great support, now with the Part 3, what a struggle. Whilst giving me
one to one lessons, this man has the patience of a Saint. Failing the Part
3 three times with the big boy driving school, at the last attempt I was
still petrified, all I was told was “not to worry you will be OK” (what
a waste of money). As previously mentioned, attended John’s courses
for Parts 1, 2 & 3, must say that with 2 & 3 passed first time. With
John’s help and guidance for Part 3 I received 4/5 for PST 6. When
I came back down from the clouds in the de-brief the SE informed me that
not only was the marking very close to 5/5, he also mentioned that I was “very
polished” from the training that I had received from John. Once again
thanks John for your support and believing in me that I could do it.
Simon Hopkinson ADI
I recently passed Part 3 at the second attempt. I had some initial training
elsewhere before finding John Pierrepont School Of motoring through a link
on the DSA website. My training was with one of John’s training colleagues
Mick Thornhill. Mick is a top guy who I would have no hesitation in recommending
to anyone who is starting out on the road to ADI qualification as an excellent
trainer. Once I began training with Mick the concerns I had with my previous
training started to disappear and I quickly developed the skills I needed
to get that all important Part 3 pass. A big thank you to Mick for all the
support, tuition and guidance you’ve provided in the last 10 months.
