DVSA Part 3, Standards Check, Part 2 Driving Tests with Graham Hooper, ORDIT trainer, Coach & Mentor

Hi Graham
I am familiar with transactional analysis and the theories behind. I find your way of explaining and using this tool in driver education very interesting. I am trying to implement the ideas in lectures for our DI students, but have not fully succeded yet.

Kind regards,

“ Today I attended one of Graham Hooper’s standards, check and part 3 training courses via zoom.

As always Graham delivers a fantastic and fun training session that is very informative and a worthwhile refresher too!

If you are a PDI or an ADI like myself needing to brush up on an upcoming standards check, I can’t recommend Graham Hooper’s one day course highly enough“

Kind regards

Fantastic day, many thanks Graham Hooper. Thoroughly recommend this workshop to any PDI/ADI.

Hi Graham,
My apologies for not getting in touch sooner. Please by all means use the statement below.

“After several attempts at sitting ADI Part 3 and failing, I was given Graham’s name by a colleague who stated that if Graham cannot get you through Part 3 then nobody can. I spent three days with Graham, about three quarters the way through the 3rd day I had the light bulb moment. A few days later I took the test and with a great sigh of relief I was given the pass that I had been looking for. Thank you Graham for your fantastic help.

Buckle up long post alert…. Having being a PDI for 6 months I was really struggling with everything, there was just something missing in my lessons and training! Can’t say how much I’ve spent on useless trainers and adis just in case my partner sees. I just didn’t “get it” and was on the verge of calling it a day thinking there was more to life than stressing about how rubbish my lessons felt to me, of course my pupils enjoyed them but I was coming away thinking I’m just surviving not actually learning. Then I came across route 51 and my initial thought was “here we go more wasted money but what’s a few extra hundred in the shrinking training account” well that few hundred pound was the missing link and a certain Mr Hooper! The course itself was invaluable but meeting Graham I learnt more in a few hours than I had this whole blasted journey, honestly could have cried. His way with words, teaching style was something I’d never experienced and it actually sat in my head for weeks. It made me actually like the career I’d chosen and he knew what would work for me rather than me giving him a role play lesson which doesn’t work for me. Anyway my thumb hurts but I passed my part 3 today and this wouldn’t have happened without Graham. I know it’s a massive achievement and I’m grateful but after time with Graham it’s made me realise actually the learning doesn’t stop there I need to aim higher and with further courses from Tri coaching that’s exactly what I’m going to do!

“Would like to say thank you to Graham Hooper for his training with me. I’ve only done a couple but today I passed my standards check on my first attempt with the highest score I’ve achieved so far. Just shy of an A, but onwards and upwards and I’m looking forward to continued training and development 🫡💪🏻”

I was lucky enough to book an additional one to one session with Graham, and had the benefit of his truly extensive knowledge. I gained so much from the webinar and can’t praise its approach enough. Needless to say I passed my Part 3.

Thank you
Really enjoyed it. Great to connect with everyone and get some more information and support on this journey

Graham Hooper is an excellent trainer, I passed my ADI Part 3 first time due to his motivation and effective coaching. Thank you so much

Mark from Forest hill south east London, my trainer was graham Hooper i look around a lot for the right trainer to help me learn how to train PDIs on train the trainer course, Graham was recommended to me from a friend in the driving instructor industry. His training was perfect all laid out and planed over the four days and also to suit my learning needs and i had lots of needs to break down any misunderstandings on my part because id hadn’t done any training since passing my part 3 eight years ago so i was in driving instructor mode for a while, i could not get my head around things .But with grahams training and 20 years experience and guidance I felt i had the confidence to go forward an train my own PDIs. If your looking for any training i can highly recommend grahams training enough

The training you get is 5 star I’ve just passed my Ordit inspection with no Unsatisfactory faults I no way thought this was Possible for myself. just like to thank you all for your help I’m also looking forward to training PDIs and ADIs

I want to say that Graham Hooper has been a major factor in supporting me to achieve my goal. With his encouragement, candour and humour, he has been instrumental in successfully giving me great career. CPD is key in this industry

After a number of years contemplating about becoming a Driving Instructor, I finally took the bull by the horns and started to look around at my options. There are so many different options, prices and driving schools out there, some good and some not so good, it can be quite daunting!

My choice in the end was to train with an independent trainer Graham Hooper, who was recommended to me as ‘one of the best’. Training with Graham was indeed, one of the best decisions I have made.

One of the positive sides to learning with an independent instructor is that there are no ulterior motives to the training. During or after you have qualified, you have the option to decide if this is the route you still want to go down, without being tied into any lengthy contractual agreements.

I really liked the way the training worked! It’s not a tick box teaching method but real learning takes place. I learnt real skills in my driving and training abilities and not just parrot fashion methods.

Graham is easy to get along with, clean, reliable, well presented, knowledgeable and professional about all aspects of the training. He takes the training seriously and has a compassion for the safety of all road users, in his seriousness, he still managed to make the learning enjoyable.

During the training Graham was quick to establish my ability to learn and how I learnt best. He encouraged me in every aspect of my learning ability, enabling me to understand key ways to help others in their individual learning abilities. He has always been supportive and never put me down for things that I didn’t know, got wrong or not understood, but helped me to understand the whys and wherefores. His ‘driver training’ knowledge never ceased to amaze me, but was never lewd over me, making me feel inferior or inadequate. His manner was always professional but real, treating me as an individual not comparing me with others abilities or inabilities.

Graham was always willing to go the extra mile to help me with the training, when I needed it, giving me sound advice which was suitable to my training needs. Even now I am a qualified ADI, he remains supportive.

I would recommend Graham Hooper as an amazing driver trainer, with the ability to adapt his training to each individual’s needs. He gives his best and therefore you achieve the best. It certainly worked for me! It was amazing to pass the exam with a greater knowledge and understanding not just a pass certificate!

Thank you to Graham for a great workshop on the 4th September.

What a lovely, comfortable atmosphere on the zoom session, I felt happy to express my feelings and thoughts, and was able to get some great advice, not just from Graham, but from everyone.

The content was educational and direct, it kept my focus at all times.
I am now more aware of how I might come across to my pupils and have new tools to develop my skills.

I would highly recommend this to PDIs and ADI’s, even if it’s just to update your skills.

Many thanks

I thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 days. You made the ‘role play’ so much more achievable than I expected. Much of it was not what I would call ‘role play’.
You broke down the teaching and practice for our PDIs into very manageable chunks that made sense and that I can see myself doing with my PDI then building them up to the full routines.
Altogether a well worthwhile 2 days.
Thanks again

Thought-provoking and challenging in all the right ways. The Group Coaching Course has left me with a lot to reflect on, but I feel more confident about taking steps towards my goals. Thanks Graham and my fellow participants.

Had a great constructive lesson recently with Graham.

Graham very quickly identified a learning development in my training and after just 1 hour I had new skills to help me give learning opportunities to pupils.

Graham was absolutely amazing the whole time. Sessions were fun and enjoyable while ensuring that learning was taking place. Graham’s technique of delivering the course as a whole package works so well. We didn’t focus on the different ADI tests, he focused on helping me become a driving instructor. Which meant learning all aspects from the beginning. Would highly recommend to anyone looking into becoming an ADI.

>> Hi graham,

>> Hope all is going well. Don’t faint – yes it’s me lol 😀
>>
>> I had an unbelievable conversation with a lady I knew from years ago, found out she had just become an ADI And I just had to pass this on.
>>
>> On approaching her SC her trainer informed her that she shouldn’t expect to pass first time. Also her first one or two years she would be **** instructor and would get through a lot of learners.
>> What a world away from training with yourself !!

Hi Graham

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great ADI Part 3 training I had with you, it fitted to my needs perfectly and help me pass my ADI Part 3 test.

I would be recommending your services to any one that is going to take any ADI test.

Once again Thank you for all your help.

I contacted Graham after failing my first attempt at part 3. Graham provided me with all the support i needed and coached me with 1-2-1 meetings. Graham was an excellent listener and has immense experience and knowledge. He could easily help anyone get an A grade. I had a lot going on in my personal life during this time and Graham helped me to stay focused and develop my skills further. I can’t thank him enought for what he’s helped me achieve in such a short period of time. He’s always smiling and helps wherever possible. I couldn’t have done this without him and he’s an irreplaceable asset to the industry.

Hi, I completed the train the trainer course. What did I think of it? Well wow, so open and informative, easy to follow, (well sometimes 😂😂) well presented confidence building to help you become a train the trainer. Graham is a great coach, picked up more than just the course training. Thank you.

Hello Graham,
Thank you for today, I thoroughly enjoyed it and found the course very informative. I look forward to meeting you again in the future.

I attended a course run by Graham which helped me prepare for my first standards check. Being an ADI himself with many years experience, he was able to allay any fears I had, by explaining exactly what the examiner was looking for, which in turn, allowed me to go into my standards check with more confidence than I would normally have had. I found the course not only informative, but relaxed and very informal.

Definitely found today beneficial, lots of good content, and the experience share from both yourself and others was great.

The course was pitched well, so that everyone could be included. The range of experience ran from 30 years to a few months but at no point did I feel I couldn’t or wasn’t included being the least experienced. Your personality definitely made for a more enjoyable course and i always felt engaged.
I felt everyone had time, chances and every opportunity to ask questions, share their views and at no point feel rushed.
Enjoyed the break outs, perhaps even feeling that one more could have been beneficial to keep everyone involved and thinking.


Shall definitely be looking at other courses to book onto, thanks once again.

I attended an online SC/Part 3 workshop yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Graham’s delivery style is right up my street – direct and to the point (with no flannel).
Everyone was given time and space to speak without fear of looking or sounding foolish and breakout rooms allowed a chance to share thoughts and ideas with other ADIs & PDIs, which was a really positive experience, as was the workshop as a whole. 5*

Hi Graham,
Just want to say thankyou for everything over the last 2 days. I’ve learnt alot and really excited to put it into practice.
