How your trainee account works
Your account is free for 12 months and built around getting you qualified. It does not put you in the queue for DriveThruL students yet, and this page explains exactly why, and what changes when you pass Part 3.
What your account includes
Study hub for Parts 1, 2 and 3
Theory and hazard practice, mock tests, and the Part 3 competencies you are marked against.
Training log with trainer sign-off
Your trainer logs each session and signs it off, and your competency progress moves as they do.
Pink badge tracking
Your trainee licence, its expiry, and where you are on the route to the green badge.
Your own pupils, your own prices
Any pupil you find yourself stays yours. You set the rate, you keep all of it, and we take nothing.
No card, nothing to cancel, and nothing to pay for 12 months.
What it does not include yet
We would rather be plain about this now than have you find out by waiting for something that is not coming.
We do not send you DriveThruL students
Every learner who books with us is told their instructor is a fully qualified ADI. We keep that promise, so a trainee is never allocated a school student.
You are not in the public instructor directory
For the same reason, trainee profiles are not listed on the site where learners choose an instructor.
You are not in the lead WhatsApp group
That group exists purely to post claim links for school students. Being in it would only show you students you are not able to take, so we add you the day you qualify.
Verified documents do not mean you are cleared for leads
When your dashboard marks your licence and badge as valid, it means we hold current copies and are tracking their expiry. That is a records check, not a change of status. While you are on a pink badge the trainee rule above still applies, however complete your profile looks.
What changes when you qualify
Send us your Part 3 pass and your ADI number as soon as you have them. We move you into the dispatch pool, add you to the lead WhatsApp group, and list you on the site. From then you pay a single fee of £30 per student we send you, or £25 if you display a DriveThruL roof sign. There is no franchise fee, no subscription, and nothing to pay in a month we send you nobody.

We will not send you DriveThruL students while you are a trainee
Every learner who books through us is told their instructor is a fully qualified ADI, and we keep that promise. While you hold a trainee (pink badge) licence we will not allocate you a DriveThruL student, and you will not appear in our public instructor directory.
Your account is free for 12 months
It includes the study hub for Parts 1, 2 and 3, a training log, pink badge progress tracking, mock tests, and the tools to manage your own pupils. There is no card required and nothing to cancel.
Your own pupils are yours, at your own prices
Any pupil you find yourself stays yours. You set the rate, you keep all of it, and DriveThruL takes nothing.
When you qualify, you join the dispatch pool
Once you have passed Part 3 and your ADI qualification is confirmed, you start receiving students. You then pay £30 for each student we send you, or £25 if you display a DriveThruL roof sign. There is no franchise fee, no subscription, and nothing to pay in any month we send you nobody.
School students pay our published rates, not yours
A student we send you pays DriveThruL prices: currently £72 for a 2 hour pay as you go lesson, which is £36 an hour, and from £34 an hour on a block booking. Their £30 deposit comes off the lesson price and they pay the balance to you directly. You cannot set your own rate for a student we introduce.
Choosing an area does not guarantee work in it
You pick the postcodes you cover, but we can only send you students who actually book. How many leads you see depends on demand in your areas, not on how many areas you list. We cover East London (E and IG) and the South East London, Bexley and Dartford belt (SE and DA). Postcodes outside that receive nothing.
Keeping your licence and insurance current is your responsibility
We need a current trainee licence and your own tuition insurance on file. If your pink badge lapses, your account stops until it is renewed.
