A trainee licence is an optional route after ADI Part 2 to gain teaching experience while preparing for Part 3. It normally lasts six months and has specific eligibility and training conditions. It is not full ADI registration.
Discuss your test history, completed training and any existing trainee licence when enquiring. Any sponsorship, supervision or additional training arrangement must be confirmed before you rely on it.
A clear conversation first.
Your current position
Share your location, tests passed, earlier training and the support you want.
Your practical arrangements
Agree trainer availability, training format, vehicle arrangements and a suitable schedule.
Your costs & terms
Obtain the fee, included training hours, separate charges and cancellation terms in writing.
