💫 Just a quick thank you... ☺️
This week marked 4 years since I became a fully qualified driving instructor.
What an exciting, well-worth journey it has been. 😃 I have met some amazing people during the duration of my first ADI Badge and I am extremely proud of every single person who has trusted me to coach them towards achieving their driving licence. 🚗
Through believing in the way I teach, and the content we have covered during lessons, I can say hand on heart that all of you have gone on to become some of the safest and most knowledgeable drivers on the road today. ✅
Rather than rushing to a test just to chance our luck, we have focussed on building skills for what really matters - the 50+ years of driving that lay ahead. 👵👴
I work really hard to provide as much value for money as I can for all of my customers and although there are still many aspects I'd like to add in over time, I feel my hard work and dedication is shown by the fact that my learners have helped me to achieve a pass rate of 85% over the past 4 years, when the national average has always hovered just below 50%. I pride myself on high standards and with an average score of less than 3 minor faults per test since 2021, I'd like to think that is shown. 👨🏫
What I'd also like to mention, is that the above would not have been possible without the fantastic help and support I have been fortunate enough to receive not only from Alert Drivers during my qualification process, but from many, many other Instructors in Exeter - some of which I have become fantastic friends with! 🥰 Whilst the public would expect us all to be business rivals, there are actually some truly kind, caring and supportive people I am lucky enough to have around me, here in Exeter. So to all of you who have helped me to get where I am today, I cannot thank you enough - no matter how big or small your contribution has been. 😘
To all those who recommend me and my business and continue to do so, thank you. 🫶 This sort of profession relies heavily on word of mouth, so whenever you tag me in a post on Facebook or pass on my name and number, that really goes a long way. 🗣️
If the next 4 years can be anywhere near as successful as the first 4 have been, I am one lucky man! 🙏
Wishing all past and present learners, friends & family a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2026. 🥳
