Also coming soon is a similar concept for learners. Your pupils will be able

Hello
Blaine,
I'd just
like to thank you for the help your videos gave on passing my part 3
exam. They gave me a true insight into what to expect and therefore put
me in front of the game so to speak .Your teaching style is relaxed yet
very thorough and put over in a way which is very easy to understand.
The amount of information that you have on the part 3 exam on your web
site is also the key to success, to spend that amount of time out on the
road to cover all the subjects and grades etc could take 6 months or
more.
On my side I have spent a lot of time going over
and over your videos and rewriting my lesson plans until I was happy
with them and then using them on my learners to fine tune them. Yes I
have worked very hard but then nothing good comes easy. I now want to
continue to improve myself as I will not be happy unless I feel my
learners are getting the very best from me.
THANK YOU

Hi Blaine,
I passed my part 3 in Sept 2008 (2nd go), due to circumstances beyond my
control I didn't have the luxury of taking a PDI ticket and had to go
straight for the 'Green'.
I had good training from my instructor but the videos were a valuable
supplement and helped me to consolidate my training in lieu of being
able to put it into practice.
Having failed part 3 once I was really nervous but the videos went a
long way to taking some of the mystery of part 3 away, on the day of the
test I played a couple of them through to get me in the mood.
Although I owe much of my thanks to my own instructor I would like to
thank you for providing a really useful supplement to my training in the
absence of practical experience as a PDI.
Take care.

Hi Blaine,
Well I am sitting here at
the end of my day off, having spent most of it watching the videos on
this fantastic site.
I am however extremely cheesed off as I only wish I had discovered it
two years ago when i started out on my path to becoming an ADI.
I used a well known big establishment to learn my trade and wasted
nearly £3000 doing so.
Three pink badges and two failed part three attempts decided to give up
the establishment and buried my head into the internet and taught
myself....bought DVDs, books you name it I did it.
Luckily last day of third badge sat third attempt, PST10 and passed with
a 5-4.
Cheesed off because I have no doubt could have achieved the same result
probably better on first attempt if I had found this Site and for only
£20....WOW. What value for money.

Hello Blaine
I write to thank you for helping me to become an ADI. I discovered your
website in March 2008, just a few weeks prior to my Part 3 test. I had
been given excellent training from my instructor, but was struggling to
get into the role-play mode. Watching your videos confirmed everything
my instructor told me, but it was seeing someone else (i.e. Lisa on the
videos) doing what I was supposed to do, that gave me more confidence in
treating the examiner as a pupil. I managed to get a 5/6 on my first
attempt and am sure that this was because of: (a) good instruction, (b)
your videos and (c) taking paracetamol for chronic toothache (not
recommended!)
I was recently invited for Check Test, so my first port of call was your
website. I was so pleased to find that there were videos relating to
this! I opted for role-play as I had recently set up on my own and
wasn't sure about having a suitable pupil - big mistake because it
wasn't anything like the Part 3 (a long story!), but I managed to get a
grade 4 so I am not too disappointed.
I've been watching the videos of 'Lessons With a Real Learner' and find
them very helpful and hope there will be more of the same.
Thank you again.

When I went to Blaine, it was in
desperation and basically panic. I had, like many others, been drawn in
by the hype and advertising of shall we say a large instructor teaching
facility. I got through parts 1 and 2, fairly painlessly, they helped at
the right points.
Then part three, and my 5 day training course, in-car, MMM well that is
almost overstating it already.
The instructor I had, went against the basic rules of instruction, was
impatient, stroppy even, and basically was in over their head. Needless
to say I left the course downhearted and certainly not feeling ready to
pass my test.
Then Blaine came to the rescue. Sound teaching, good advise, and a
method that is beyond description, except brilliant.
He got me through the test, even though another establishment will take
the credit, wish I had seen him first.
Many thanks Blaine, and I will be back for refreshers.

A very professional and high standard
of ADI training. He knows what the DSA wants and he prepares you to
exceed their goal in a firm but friendly manner. I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend him to anyone who needs to improve their skills or prepare for
a DSA check test.

I found Blaine's training a great help
in preparing for my second attempt at the part 3 exam and i have no
reservations in recommending Blaine to anyone considering ADI training.

Blaine is such an amazing person!
Intelligent, kind and patient with a
wonderful sense of humour, getting in touch with him was without a doubt
the
best decision I made during my efforts to pass Part Three.
He works really hard at finding out what the examiners are looking for
and
passing the information on to his pupils. His style is very relaxed and
humorous and he makes the subject quite fascinating. He put me at ease
very
quickly and for the first time I found I was actually enjoying the
training!
Making a video of the lesson is a really useful idea as you can go over
it
as many times as you want and recap on anything you need to. (They are
also
really good fun to watch!).
I was really lucky to find Blaine - I couldn't have got through the Part
Three test without his excellent teaching and sound advice and I would
not
hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of becoming an A.D.I.

Ditto ditto ditto to everything
everyone else has said.
Whenever I have read columns like this I've always thought to myself,
are they for real. Well I know this one is!
I had two trainers before I was introduced to Blaine. I was feeling
frustrated knowing that the training I had received so far may well have
taught me something about being a driving instructor but was not going
to get me through the part 3 exam. Having been through part3 once I knew
I had to be better prepared next time. I will always be thankful for
being pointed in the right direction because I know I would not have
passed if it wasn't for Blaine and he taught me so much which has made
me a better driving instructor. When I took my part 3 It was as though
Blaine was there.
The wording and the life lines that the examiners were
using were just as Blaine had prepared me for. He takes the trouble to
sit in on so many exams so that he is up to date on what the examiners
are looking for. Advice to any P.D.I's out there if you are about to
invest money in training then just go and see Blaine Walsh first if you
don't think he's for you then you haven't lost anything and any A.D.I
trainers out there who are reading this If you want to be a good trainer
and have fantastic feedback like Blaine's then why not go and see him
and find out what makes him so good!
Many thanks Blaine

D.S.A; A.D.I ( car ) oh that feels so good. :o)
Ten years ago I came from Spain to
work and learn English. Being a waiter wasn’t my dream so I went to one
of these driving schools for a chat. Soon I was signing a contract with
them of £2000. People were really nice but I didn’t get what I expected.
What a pity! “If I only knew this before”.
You can pass parts 1 and 2 easily with professional help. Then you get
stuck with part three and you realize that some companies that ask you
for the money in front are just pure business and there is no way back.
I went to part 3 and failed twice with 3/3 and then someone recommended
me Blaine. After all the money I had spent I thought paying another £30
an hour for another instructor was too much but I was curious about this
camera that records everything that happens on the car.
Honestly I cannot really find the appropriate words to describe the way
that Blaine teaches. He is too good to be truth. I had all the theory in
my head but I didn’t have a clue of how to use it and what to say at the
right time. I am a slow learner and part 3 is not easy. I took some
lessons from Blaine and he gave me the “magic tips”.
I knew I needed time to go through these tapes so I watched them over
and over and over again. I went to the test and I got 4/4. I thought I
had very few chances of passing but Blaine made that dream come true.
Anyone out there struggle ling for real help must call Blaine. There is
no commitment and you won’t regret it. In fact you will not believe that
someone like him can help you so much.
Best regards

Blaine comes across as a very
professional instructor. His training techniques and general know how of
the part 3 syllabus has helped me become an approved driving instructor.
On board cameras enabled me to do fault analysis within my own
technique. I would highly recommend Blaine to future candidates who wish
to become A.D.I's.
