Pay-as-you-train
ELITE offer training on a Pay-as-you-train basis. So, there is no initial outlay, or tie in contracts.
Be wary of courses that require payment in full up-front and come with terms and conditions or contracts. Our pay-as-you-train option gives you peace of mind that if your financial, occupational, personal, or health circumstances change then you will not be out of pocket. It will also suit if you have previously completed some training elsewhere, already have the study materials, or even already passed Parts 1 or 2 and just want some top up or rescue training.
Prices
- £50 per hour – £100 per 2 hour session (payable in advance of each lesson)
- £47 per hour – £470 for 10 hours if bought in advance blocks of 10 hours for £470
You will also need to purchase the DVSA recommended study materials, these will cost less than £100.
In addition to our training charges there are fees payable directly to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency:
- Part 1 test fee: £81*
- Part 2 test fee: £111*
- Part 3 test fee: £111*
- Trainee licence (if taken): £140*
- Full ADI licence (payable upon qualification): £300*
* Correct as at April 2024. These figures are subject to change by the DVSA.

Join the ELITE driving instructor franchise
This is a very personable, and learn through experience process.
Right now we’re struggling to reach the demand for instructors and are keen to talk to qualified ADI’s and PDI’s about coming to joining our team of instructors. Being experienced ADI’s ourselves, we strongly believe that our franchise package provides instructors with exactly the service they need to assist them in running and growing their own business, at a reasonable and realistic cost of:
- £110 per week, 50 weeks of the year.
- There are incentives to receive further free weeks too.
Whether you are currently an independent instructor or working under a franchise with another school, or a PDI, you will find ELITE’s franchise package to be a fair, comprehensive, and affordable option to help you grow your driving school business. If you are looking to train to become an instructor then see our instructor training section. You’ll see from our instructors’ testimonials that our franchise suits most instructors. Since establishing the ELITE brand in 2008 our family run business has steadily grown a fantastic team of instructors, and the geographic area we cover is ever expanding too.
