Testimonials
I have been training with Des since February 2011, for both the part 2 and part 3 ADI tests. He teaches in a relaxed and fun way in an effort to put you at ease from the very beginning. I would recommend him to anyone embarking on a career as a driving Instructor. I know without his encouragement and support I wouldn't have had the confidence to pass part 3 first time.

After starting my training a year ago I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Des and given the opportunity to choose him as my instructor. I quickly realised that I was learning “the Des Way”. Meaning that I was greeted with his humour and dedication that he brought to every lesson. This allowed me to relax and enjoy driving with him, which in turn meant that I could take on board more of the knowledge and understanding easily. I feel that this was a big part of my being able to pass part 3 first time.I would not hesitate to recommend Des as he is highly respected as a person and also as an Instructor trainer. Therefore should you be considering to start the driving instructor training course then he is the person I would highly recommend without a doubt.

I chose Des to be my ADI instructor because he is Ordit qualified and has an excellent reputation for his teaching. I am so pleased I did!
We've worked together on all three phases and I have just passed Part 3, first time. It takes a great deal of personal commitment and willingness to be pushed out of your comfort zone to achieve this qualification. Throughout this period Des has been unstintingly supportive and has guided me along this difficult path. His technical knowledge, mixed with Glaswegian sense of humour make him quite special and unique!

"I have just finished a year's training with Des to become an ADI. This process is extremely challenging and it takes an instructor who is professional, encouraging, honest and experienced enough to help you through this process. Des is all these things and more and I would strongly recommend him to anyone contemplating becoming a driving instructor."

"I have just completed my ADI training with Des McCulloch and I past the Part 3 first time!! If you are contemplating becoming a driving instructor, then I can highly recommend training with Des McCulloch. To pass the 3 parts of the ADI test will take dedication and hard work from you. If you combine your hard work and dedication with Des's training style, which is, a balance of step-by-step guidance, professional pride, and a sprinkling of humour, then training with Des will give you every chance of success."

Des gives clear and concise instruction and feedback as well as providing continuous encouragement and enthusiasm. Des patiently adapted his teaching methods to my levels of progress. I can highly recommend Des's positive teaching style."

"Having trained as a PDI with Des McCulloch Driver Training for just over a year, I have now qualified as an ADI. Des has been an excellent trainer, his honesty, patience, encouragement and support has helped me throughout what was a very challenging process. Thanks a lot Des"

"It has taken me almost three years and two instructors to feel comfortable driving a car. Des made me feel comfortable and at ease whilst driving. He is funny, enthusiastic and believed in me even if I didn't, and with this I passed my test first time with just 14hrs of Des' tuition. Des is a fantastic guy you would be silly not to learn to drive with him."
