It's not the DSA who are doing it. Don't forget that.

WayFee I believe the role is not ADI but someone to sell "GoDriveUK" and the benefits of being a Driving Instructor to all those people clutching their redundancy cheques...

It should make for an interesting job - but probably one where you are not the most popular recruiter in the street.

It's worth a look at the GoDrive website to see what they are offering to those wishing to become ADIs and work on the GoDrive franchise. Raises a few questions out of simple curiosity...

Strangly enough, a certain franchise has had a problem with it's instructors undercutting each other in the same area to get work, so they are looking at ways of preventing internal undercutting.

Yes, AA instructors are guilty of a few shenanigans of that sort (
