I’m Nadia, your ADI Specialist Trainer and I have worked for DVSA as a Driving Examiner for just over 7 years. And in the last 6 years I worked as an SC Examiner in West London covering majority of the local test centres testing part 2’s, part 3’s, and standard checks. I left DVSA 7 months ago to help driving instructors complete their dream goal and to qualify and pass their tests and achieve a career as a qualified driving instructor.
I also hold the Gold Award from ROSPA — the highest civilian Advanced Driver qualification with an comprehensive DBS checks.
