The very latest ins0101 document from the DfT/DVSA gives us some fresh data leading up to and including June 2017. This gives some indication of the state of driving instructor training in the UK.
In the last 5 years 8223 people have registered to be an ADI (in other words qualified). However, for reasons of resigning, or being removed or just allowing their green badge to lapse, 20,449 ADI's left the register over the same period. The net loss as per the register total is 5196 less ADI's. As I have previously stated on this blog, I've not personally known it as low as it currently is at 39,373.
If you just concentrate on who is wanting to come in to the industry (in other words registered with the DVSA to try to qualify) the numbers are dramatically increasing:
12/13 5142
13/14 5455
14/15 6150
15/16 6790
16/17 7430
But the numbers qualifying out of all those entries is very low. A well reputed driving instructor training company "Tri-Coaching" recently reported the proportion actually qualifying to registering for driving instructor training is only 9%
There are more people leaving the register each month, than there are new ADI's coming into the industry.
