I first got in touch with Steve Ridley back in December 2020 to assist me with my ADI part 2. Steve helped me with my training and I passed my ADI Part 2 first time at Maybush in Southampton, with only one minor fault incurred. COVID had deferred things prior to this and in between lockdowns we had managed to get a test booked. I continued to have Steve assist me through my Part 3 ADI training when lockdown rules were relaxed. Throughout this time, Steve made sure that the car was clean and sanitised, we both wore masks and completed lateral flow tests showing we were negative before lessons. Steve’s training was superb. His manner and calmness throughout helped me achieve my lesson goals. Steve’s client-centred training approach was all about me as his learner and not what he wanted to do. Steve would explain things in a way that made me learn about the topic, rather than just knowing an answer. This month May 2022, I passed my ADI part 3 with a Grade A on my first attempt. I would highly recommend Steve Ridley as an ORDIT trainer; his help to me was invaluable. My background as a former special needs teacher gives me the experience to say that Steve is an ‘outstanding’ teacher/trainer. Furthermore, my current employment with South Western Ambulance Service Trust as a DERADI trained driving instructor means I use the Police system of Roadcraft when teaching full licence holders. I needed someone to train me how to teach learner drivers the DVSA way and Steve Ridley was the person who showed me the way. I cannot thank Steve Ridley enough as he has helped me achieve my goal of becoming a DVSA Grade A Approved Driving Instructor.
