Why ZED ADI Training Stands Out from the Rest? 


We do things differently - and that’s exactly why we’re better!


While most contemporary ADI course providers rely heavily on online learning and distance-based training, Mr Zairai Safi believes there’s no substitute for real, hands-on experience. That’s why we use a proven, old-school approach that focuses on face-to-face, real-world training with real learners, not just videos and webinars.


Our method ensures you’re not just learning theory behind a screen, but actually developing the skills, confidence, and instinct that only come from working directly in real-life driving situations. We don’t cut corners. We don’t hide behind tech. We give you genuine, practical experience from day one, the kind that prepares you fully for the demands of the job.


If you want to be a confident, capable, and successful driving instructor, ZED is the name to trust. We aspire to become the UK’s number one choice for ADI training — because we train the right way.


You’ll learn from the expert ADI trainer Mr Zairai Safi and former ADI Enforcement Examiner who have the experience and credentials to prepare you to pass your ADI Part 2 (Driving Ability Test), ADI Part 3 (Instructional Ability Test) or ADI Standards Checks. ZED will impart the skills, patience and empathy you’ll need in your career.
