My experience so far (ADI part 1)
Deciding to change career at my age (47) is a huge thing. You ask yourself many questions. Is it worth the risk? Is it the right thing to do? Glad to say that, so far, I couldn't be happier with my decision.
My 4 wheels have been brilliant. Especially (deleted by the administrator), who has been with me every step of the way through to passing my ADI part one test. Great tips and advice when I was struggling and always by the phone if I needed help.
The digital software they provide (Theory Test Pro and DTS anytime) are brilliant. Plus you get all the books you need at the start of the course to get you to the end.
Now, some advice for anyone taking part in becoming an ADI.
DO NOT rely on the software they provide you on its own!
I failed my first attempt on my part 1 test. After speaking with (deleted by the administrator), I changed the way I revised and worked more from the books than the software. As a result, I past with flying colours on my second go.
A lot of the questions on the test are covered by the software...but not all of them. Studying the books is what got me over the finish line last week.
Thanks again (deleted by the administrator), not sure I could of done it without you.
Date of experience: 14 March 2024
5 star experience!
Had lots of help with passing my part 1 of the ADI, lots of helpful information and being given learning materials. Can't fault my experience at all. If you put in the hard work and use the materials and Information given to you and study. It'll all pay off!
I am currently a customer ready to do my Part 3.
Do you get the support needed? Yes
Do you get the correct training required ? Yes

Do you sometimes feel like its not worth doing the above ? Yes
Does My Four wheels pass parts 1-3 for you ? NO, only you can do that, but they will help you every step of the way.
My four wheels is a very good company to train with. Their staff are very kind and friendly. They are brilliant with communication to help you along every step of the way. Phone calls and emails are very helpful in pushing you to achieve the best results you can. Can’t recommend highly enough
Passed my ADI part two test
Just passed my ADI part two test in one go. The 8 hours training with (deleted by the administrator)was very useful. I didn’t know I had so many bad habits build up throughout all these years of driving. Thank you team and(deleted by the administrator) for all your care, all the frequent checks were very warm and useful! Thanks all!
My Four Wheels have been great.
My Four Wheels have been great so far. Every person I have spoken with have been really friendly and helpful and have fully supported me through the process of getting through the ADI Part 1. I’m just starting Part 2 and again, they have been really supportive guiding me through the training and processes.
Exceptional Driving Instructor Leads to First-Time Test Success
I can confidently say learning with (deleted by the administrator) was one of the best decisions I've made on my journey to obtaining my UK driver's license. From the moment I stepped into the car for my first lesson, I knew I was in capable hands.
(deleted by the administrator) exuded professionalism, patience, and expertise throughout every lesson. His calm demeanor and clear instructions helped me feel at ease behind the wheel, even during the most challenging maneuvers. He tailored each lesson to my individual needs, providing constructive feedback and tips for improvement along the way.
He also emphasized the importance of safe and responsible driving habits, and thanks to(deleted by the administrator) guidance and support, I passed my driving test on my first attempt yesterday. The car showed a warning light yesterday morning, but(deleted by the administrator) ensured that the fault was sorted out before my test. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and patient driving instructor. If you're looking to become a safe and skilled driver, look no further than (deleted by the administrator).
Money grabbing & lack of support! Poor experience! Then they want YOU to travel & do the leg work cos THEY can't deliver the training in your area... maybe tell me that before you take my money!
Nothing like my experience at all. My Four wheels have been fantastic.
I had to travel 25 mins to my in car training, however I found it more than acceptable. They provided me with a Grade A trainer and passed both parts 2 and 3 1st time.
With my four wheels you get quality tuition, much better than a random instructor ticking boxes for training like other companies do
I've been with My Four Wheels since June 2023. I can honestly say that the M4W team have supported me all the way through with my training,someone is always on hand with support and advice.That's why I have passed my Part 2 today and can not wait to get started with the teams help, straight away with my part 3.Thanks guys.

My4wheels are super proactive in keeping in touch with their prospective students, making them feel valued and part of the team.
Part 3 pass!
Amazing driving School! The help and support from everyone at M4W from the Instructors to the guys behind the scenes has just been fantastic since day one! Got my Part 3 pass today and couldn't be happier! Onward and upward!
Well done for passing your Part 3. I am in the process of doing my Part 3 also. Cant agree enough about the support from M4W.
Hope all goes well.
The level of assistance and engagement by the support team is most appreciated.
I can not rate M4W any more highly for their training program and a company to work for.
The training wasn't easy but anybody who is willing to put the effort in should see the rewards. There were 3 stages to the training and I was worried about the theory as I was told that this was self study as I thought it would be classroom training, I was reassured before I enrolled on the course that there would be help should I need. My first call with somebody from the support team was only a couple of days later and she was so reassuring going over things, and all I needed to do was pick up the phone should I need anything. This support continued throughout the training and I really appreciated the little good luck messages before my tests.
Once I had completed the training I was ready to hit the road but I was filled with self doubt, all I got was reassurance from everybody at M4W. I was allocated an account manager to look after me while I was teaching, this was something I wasnt expecting but it was very much appreciated.
Looking back on the last year I would not be telling the truth if I said it has all be perfect, I have had days where I doubted my decision to become an instructor but the feeling I get when a pupil achieves something they have been trying over and over again just over rides any worries I have.
I would not hesitate to recommend M4W to anybody who is looking to train as an instructor, from the 1st phone call when I enquired about the role right through to getting on the road M4W have been there to help. Unfortunately just before I started my training one of my school friends has started training elsewhere and she did not have a great experience and never actually made it to the end of training which has put her off the role which is a real shame, I am so glad that I chose M4W.

I have found my4wheels to be helpful with my part 1 giving me media and advice
My experience so far with My four wheels has been excellent. They are very welcoming and more than happy to help with any questions I raise. The training programme and online systems are excellent and I couldn't be happier with choosing them as my path towards becoming a qualified ADI
I started training with My Four Wheels in December and am currently starting my Part Two of the training.
So far the level of support I have received from the My Four Wheels team has been fantastic. Initially Vicky was brilliant with helping me get the ball rolling and answer any questions about the upcoming training or being an instructor in general and for my Part 1, Jo was in touch with regular updates and check in’s to see how I’m doing, no matter the question she was there to help.
Great customer support and advice given throughout my part 1 ADI training. Very supportive staff and always there when needed.
Support for PDI part 3 training
Just finished my 20 hours of part 3 training with(deleted by the administrator) was a great support from start to finish; not just for the actual driver training, but for the invaluable advice given for the entire journey beyond the green badge. I feel confident in entering my new phase of training and have (deleted by the administrator) to thank for that.

If you are considering in becoming an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), then I can highly recommend My Four Wheels Company. Professional, supportive and friendly.
Great customer support and advice given throughout my part 1 ADI training. Very supportive staff and always there when needed
Top Class Training
Today I passed my PDI Part 2 first attempt and only 2 minors.
Would like to thank Stuart my trainer for his valued time/knowledge/support and advice throughout the last 9 weeks during our training session's and via WhatsApp chat.
To Tom and Lee for their excellent VCT training.
Also to the staff behind the scenes at My Four Wheels for touching base every now and again offering support.
Would highly recommend My Four Wheels if you are wanting to become a Driving Instructor, the training and ongoing support is top class!!!.
Just completed my part 1 with the help of my4wheels. With the support both technically online and verbally I felt confident going into my test.
So glad I chose my4wheels to start my new career
Thank you.
New career? I understand you're starting work there, right? Because I have a few questions, but I see that people here are reluctant to answer, can you tell me more about these tests?
Hi
Sorry I didn't see your response until now, gowork didn't notify me I had a question.
The tests are simple, part 1 is theory, part 2 is practical and part 3 is for your ADI license.
The first 2 are easy enough to pass, with part 3, you can do a trainee license to build up your experience before taking your part 3.
The guys in the office say they have a 70% pass rate which is extremely high.
Hope this helps
How much do I have to pay upfront for the training
Have you checked their website? I think it should be provided somewhere but I just can't find it... If you find out, please let me know here
Hi
I paid £2.6k which gets refunded over 3 years when I become qualified. The other option was 1.5k and they fund the rest of the course, and believe it's 3 years you work with them.
I joined them 4 months ago, this was theor offering at the time. Not sure if it's changed since.
I am very happy with the support of a team. They provided lots of information for me before going for my Part 1 test. They also kept in contact with me to see how am I doing and if I need any further support. Looking forward to start my training for Part two.
If anyone of you knows, please let me know whether you ride with the same instructor throughout the entire period of learning or do they change?
I got the same instructor for both parts 2 and part 3.
I passed my Part 1 and Part 2 tests first time with My Four Wheels. The training and advice I have received from (deleted by the administrator), my in car trainer, over the last few months has been invaluable. I have become a better and more confident driver. I’m now looking forward to working towards Part 3!
Which part do you think is the hardest? And these are more theoretical or practical tests? I've heard that the tests are very demanding and I'm a bit afraid of them..
Why all the positive reviews don’t answer back ? Are they really genuine? I’m really thinking to become a driving instructor and would really appreciate some info from someone inside the industry,but the answers here seem to be different from the ones in driving instructor forum’s.
Why different? Here I can see mostly positive reviews - on driving instructor forums people are not praising them that much? I'm also considering applying there
Hi
I posted a few weeks ago but decided to take it down as the repaojses seem to be bots in tended to spark conversation. Not one review has bot had a response.
I was going through the same decision making process. I asked to speak with a few my four wheels instructors and they all said they were brilliant.
I also looked at lots of review sites including trustpilot, Google, Facebook, yell, their site, etc and all of them gave them 5 stars.
I also went on the driving forums and there's very much mixed reviews, but I found anything negative came from 1 man band driving instructors who haven't ever had an experience with my four wheels other than been in competition with them.
Front what I understand they have 300 instructors and you don't get to that size without been a good company.
My feeling is there's a lot of animosity from 1 man band instructors and franchises as a whole, a little but like a corner shop vs tesco.
If I were you I'd ask to speak to an instructor who works for then like I did. I signed up last week and so far so good. Had all the support they promised
Great idea, I haven't thought about contacting the instructors directly. Where did you get their numbers? I have only the one to the company
This isn’t a review, it is someone asking a question.
That’s exactly my point. The reviews here sound too good to be true and the people writing them don’t answer back when you ask them questions. They seem fake to me. Meanwhile people in forums speak from experience hence the mixed responses. In the end it depends what you want to hear I guess. I don’t mean in anyway to sound negative just doing a little research. Please share any thoughts, I appreciate it as I’m still considering to be a driving instructor. And good luck
Hi
This is the first answer that I find helpful here and thank you for sharing it. Can you tell me how to contact any of the driving instructor’s at all ? People writing the 5 star reviews here don’t answer back when you ask them questions hence why I doubt their genuineness
I noticed you yourself didn't reply Edgar?
My four wheels have been brilliant from start to finish.
Great support so far
Great support so far! I'm so glad I chose My Four Wheels. I'm looking forward to my next phase of training, feeling confident that I will be supported all the way by a brilliant team.
Didn't you have a problem with queuing, with waiting for a slot with your chosen instructor? Thanks in advance
Can’t recommend M4W enough for any persons wanting to either learn to drive or become a driving instructor. I am towards the end of my program and everything was done with great professionalism.
Do you have to sign up, wait in queue or is it like going there and starting your driving course? I'm asking about my son who wants to start soon.
have used this franchise to gain experience as a driving instructor on a PDI. The company is professional and has delivered on all that was advertised, supplying pupils and offering support when needed. The staff are always polite and help with questions offering advice whenever needed.
They have been fantastic during lockdown, despite taking a hit themselves, by cancelling franchise fees, while still offering zoom courses and training. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend M4W for potential driving instructors or individuals wanting to learn to drive.
I can not express how happy I am now I am able to start teaching pupils and feel this could be my dream job that I didn't realise until later on in life. I was made redundant and came across a driving school offering training followed by a job, I was very naïve was taken in by the sales pitch and now looking back the very cheap price.
I was promised the world but once I paid i got nothing and every time I asked for help I was advised there was additional costs. I was about to give up until I saw an advert for My 4 Wheels, so I gave them a call.
What specific qualities or offerings did they have that made your experience with them stand out compared to the previous driving school? I'm just curious what's so special about them
Hi ,Just reading through some reviews and seen this one.
To possibly answer your question M4W do actually give you all the support needed but they cant do it for you. You have to put the time and effort in like most things to succeed. But i can honestly say they do help. Hopefully you have give them a try and experienced it for yourself.
