Tom Ripley

"Thank you Jon for helping 2 of our current instructors with Part 1,2 and 3 training. Jon was supportive and helpful and certainly knows his stuff. Thank you Jon"

Yasir Nottingham

"Jonathan has been an excellent ADI Part 3 trainer. His input has been viable in learning the skills required to pass the exam. The training was well structured and easy to follow with sessions linked to DVSA standards. I felt much more confident delivering lessons even before passing the exam. I passed the Part 3 in my first attempt and will highly recommend training with Jonathan to become a driving instructor"

Hayley Sandiacre

"I trained with Jon to become a driving instructor, and under Jon’s guidance I passed all 3 parts first time — my theory, driving exam, and Part 3 instructional exam. The whole process took around 14 months (Dec 2024 - Jan 2026), which I completed alongside my normal day job, so it naturally took a bit longer. Throughout the entire journey, Jon’s advice, support, and encouragement were invaluable. His reputation in the industry was a huge plus from the start, and it definitely lived up to expectations. I chose not to take the training licence on the way to my Part 3 because I wanted to focus fully on developing my coaching skills rather than earning money at that stage. Jon was incredibly supportive of this decision & was always available for advice whenever I needed it. It’s been a brilliant but tough process — genuinely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done — but it was truly worth it. I couldn’t recommend Jon and Town and City Driving highly enough.

Fardous Nottingham

"Jon’s guidance throughout my ADI journey was exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in his trainees’ success. His calm approach, clear explanations, and practical teaching methods gave me the confidence and structure I needed to pass my ADI Part 3. Jon was always approachable, supportive, and honest with feedback, which made a huge difference to my progress. I’m truly grateful for his dedication and professionalism. If you’re serious about becoming an ADI and want high-quality training with real results, Jon is the trainer you want by your side. Thank you, Jon — your guidance made this achievement possible. Fardous"

Amir Nottingham

"Jon Shaw is an amazing teacher. He was very supportive throughout my time training to become a ADI. Jon is highly recommended. The training workshops are brilliant & very interactive too"

Adam Nottingham

"I needed to complete additional 20 hours of training on my PDI licence, I was recommended to train with Jon Shaw from Town and City Driving. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Jon fitted me in every week finding time to train me. His delivery of the training was excellent breaking everything down into simple, understandable form and focusing on delivering great lesson to my pupil which is still what DVSA is requiring but in a more relaxed approach. Jon also provided learning materials ( lesson planner, structure, risk management) which I will continue to use. He helped me structure a lesson for my Part 3 test given lots of advice and the result is a Pass first time. If you are looking for a trainer to help you understand how and what should you be doing on your test, look no further Jon is your man! Thank you for your help and support I couldn’t have done it without you"

Naveed Nottingham

"Jon is an exceptional trainer who played a crucial role in helping me pass my Part 3 test on the first attempt. Despite the limited time available, his expertise and guidance made it possible for me to prepare thoroughly and succeed. I am sincerely grateful for his support and dedication throughout the process"

Hannah Ilkeston

"Jon assisted me in my training after being let down by one of the big companies. He fully supported me with in car training, online one to one support and group training days. He is always available to help with any queries and even came to part 3 assessments with me to show support. He is fully invested in his trainees and I’m very thankful he was suggested to me. I have since recommended to a friend who has taken up training with him and really enjoying it too"

"What a trainer! absolutely brilliant. Jon has so much knowledge in all aspects and is always at the end of the phone even when I haven't had training booked just to help with a pupil I'm struggling with! He needs a medal for putting up with me I’ve tested him so much and Always made the training fun! If your looking for a ORDIT registered trainer look no further Jon is a legend.

Dean Ilkeston

"What a great experience to train to be a driving instructor after being in the same job for 20years! Jon made the training experience very professional with a relaxed feel. Nothing was an issue and always at my pace! All training was given 1-1 in car with plenty of resources to learn in my own time! I passed all part 1 / 2 / 3 FIRST TIME !!!!! I’m extremely doubtful this wouldn't be possible without the quality of training from Jon ! I would 100% recommend Jon from town & city for driving instructor training: ) Thanks a million Jon for all your help and support throughout this journey!"

Jennie Alfreton

"Jon came highly recommended to me when I first questioned becoming a driving instructor. After meeting him for the first time I knew he was the person I wanted to help me train. Every single part of Jon's training has been helpful from Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Jon has so much knowledge and there is so much to be learned from him. Amazing training, great person and all around brilliant atmosphere to learn in. Thanks for all your support and encouragement"

Naeem Nottingham

"I'm really grateful to my trainer Jon Shaw who helped me pass my part 3 test. Jon was able to find my weaknesses in teaching and help me put a plan in place to fill the gaps in my training. Not only that but he also observed my lessons to ensure any further fine tuning was done if necessary. The fee he charges is nothing in comparison to the quality of his teaching and making you comfortable with improving in the field of driver training. I really appreciate his help towards building up my success and becoming a qualified driving instructor. Highly and wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you Jon"

Sabir Nottingham

"What a amazing human-being , giving me every single effort to get my ADI part 3 pass"

Matt Mansfield

"I wanted a career change as I felt I was in a dead end job, so I looked into becoming a driving instructor. Throughout all of the training, Jon has been fantastic, with comprehensive teaching styles and such a brilliant attitude, which I value and has inspired my own teaching. Jon always pushed me for my best and I can’t thank him enough for the support he has given me from start to finish. Even after all of my training, Jon was always happy to answer any questions I had. Cheers for everything, Jon!"

Dale Nottingham

"I first contacted Town and City to get some help and advice as I wanted to become a driving instructor. From the start Jon was very informative and couldn't do enough to help. From then on, he helped me pass all 3 parts of my ADI training first time, without his relaxed and calm knowledge, I know I wouldn't have achieved my goal. Jon is always on the end of the phone with help and support. If you're looking at becoming a driving instructor, or just want to pass the L test, then Town and City are the company to call. Highly recommended"

Tammy Langley Mill

"Jon is an outstanding instructor. He trained me to be an ADI. He really goes above and beyond to make sure you are trained to a very high standard and easily adapts his training to suit your learning needs. I’m enjoying passing all of this knowledge onto my pupils and seeing their success. If you want to be a driving instructor Town and City is the place to learn and succeed!"

Richard Sutton-In-Ashfield

"Excellent, first class training, tailored to my requirements which gave me the skills to become a driving instructor"

Lee Hucknall

"I would highly recommend Jon as an Instructor Trainer. With his encouragement and support I passed all my ADI,1,2,3 first time. I found his work with client led lessons top quality and his method of passing on information to me was exactly what I needed to become Driving Instructor. Thanks Jon"

Mir Nottingham

"Huge thanks to Mr Jon who really helped in passing my part3 with out his guidance and support wasn’t possible. Really recommend Jon to anyone who really want to pass first time and i wish i cloud have meet him before. He is very supportive and outstanding guy He gives feedback in writing so you can review and work on your weakness. Again thanks Jon for having me. Thanks"

Louise South Normanton

After speaking to several driving instructor training companies, I decided to train with Jon, and it was definitely the right decision. From day one, the training was completely tailored to me rather than following a generic programme. Every session had a clear purpose, and I always came away understanding not just what to do, but why I was doing it. The coaching style was relaxed, supportive and incredibly easy to understand, which gave me confidence throughout the qualification process. What really stood out was the depth of knowledge and experience. Every question I had was answered clearly with real-life examples, and I never felt rushed or pressured into taking a test before I was ready. The feedback was always honest and constructive, helping me improve after every lesson. The client-centred teaching methods made a huge difference, especially when preparing for Part 3. Instead of simply learning how to pass the test, I learned how to become an effective instructor who can adapt lessons to different pupils. Thanks to the excellent training and support, I qualified as an ADI and now feel confident delivering high-quality driving lessons. If you're serious about becoming a driving instructor, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ADI Pathway. The quality of the training is outstanding and it's worth every penny.
