JEM Instructor Training and Development Specialist in new driver and instructor training. Delivering CPD to both PDI and ADI. In car, online and classroom workshops

We have a fresh and new approach to driving instruction - we’re modern and progressive. First of all we won’t just talk at you for the duration of your lessons, expecting you to know what to do and how to do it. Secondly, we’ll take the time and care to analyse your best learning style. Your lesson program and structure will then be tailored to best suit you. The advantage is that you will learn more effectively and your lessons will be more enjoyable and cost effective. This approach is why we have an excellent 1st time pass rate, well above the national average. We are with you every step of the way from helping you to pass your theory test, passing your practical driving test and pass plus if you request it. We will even be there to help you with advice well after you’ve passed if you need it.

Are you looking to become a driving instructor, or an existing instructor needing extra support for an upcoming Standards Check?
Have you recently taken and failed a Standards Check with another training provider?
If you are left feeling confused, worried, or unsure about where it all went wrong or how you are going to pass next time, you don't have to navigate it alone. If you get in touch with us, we will sit down with you to carefully review your senior examiner's feedback notes—and where possible, speak directly to the senior examiner to get first-hand insights. Together, we will talk through everything and build a tailored development plan designed to ensure your success on your next attempt. Don't gamble with your career by staying with a school that isn't giving you the results you need.
Why Choose Us?
Our position is anchored in our core promises to you. All of your mandatory DVSA hours are delivered entirely in-car and face-to-face. You will never have to sit in the car with another trainee driving instructor, as we never double up. Your hours will never be substituted by online training, classrooms full of other pupils, or home study. You won't be charged exorbitant fees for sponsorship on the trainee licence scheme. You will be trained by a trainer who has a solid track record, credibility, and full qualifications backed by decades of experience. Plus, your ongoing support will continue at a low cost.

Failed Your Part 3 Three Times? Don’t Give Up—Your ADI Dream Isn’t Over!!

If you’ve recently walked away from your third attempt at the DVSA Part 3 exam feeling defeated, confused, or questioning whether you’re cut out for this job, please take a deep breath.
All is not lost.
Failing that third attempt feels devastating, but it is rarely a reflection of your potential as a driving instructor. Too often, trainee ADIs are let down by large regional driving schools that simply lack the specialist expertise, deep experience, and track record needed to guide you through the highest level of instruction. When off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all training fails to get you across the finish line, you shouldn't be the one paying the price.
At J E M Instructor Training and Development, led by Jason Jeffrey, we offer a second chance—and a clear, supportive path forward.
How We Turn Your Part 3 Around
Starting over doesn't have to be overwhelming or excessively expensive. We bridge the exact gaps holding you back with a completely tailored, client-centred approach:
Direct Feedback from the Top: We liaise directly with senior DVSA examiners to review the exact feedback from your previous Part 3 attempts.
Bespoke Development: We design a custom training plan built around your specific test results, targeting the exact knowledge gaps and delivery skills you didn't even realize were missing.
Expedited Training: We work efficiently to help you complete your required 40 hours of training without unnecessary delay or bloated costs.
Real Proof: You don't have to take our word for it. We have countless former trainees who faced this exact same hurdle with other schools, came to J E M for round two, and are now fully qualified, successful ADIs. We’d be happy to put you directly in touch with them.
Let’s Talk—No Pressure, No Obligation
If you're unsure whether to go back and try again, let’s just have a kind, informal chat. No hard sell, no obligation—just an honest conversation about where you are and how we can help.
We can meet in person over a coffee or grab a quick video call online.
Don't let a poor training provider stand between you and your new career. Reach out to Jason today, and let's get you qualified.

At JEM, we love connecting with people who are passionate about what we do!
To ensure we give everyone the best possible service, our policy is to share detailed course syllabuses, full breakdowns, and franchise package costings only after we’ve had a quick chat—either face-to-face or via a brief video call.
Because our course content and business models are commercially sensitive, this simple step helps us ensure we’re sharing our detailed materials with genuine prospective clients and partners (and keeps the occasional "fishing expedition" at bay!).
For general enquiries, we are always happy to share a top-level overview right away. But if you're looking for the full, granular details, let’s jump on a quick call! We’d love to get to know you, understand your goals, and answer all your questions properly.
Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support!

A Double Celebration Today! 🌊✨🥂
One year ago today, JEM Driving Instructor Training and Development was born.
It started with a simple, uncompromising vision: to build a driving instructor training community rooted in what truly matters—honesty, transparency, and genuine integrity.
Having worked in the industry for many years, I knew there was a better way to do things. I wanted to create a company that wouldn't just train people, but would genuinely value, respect, and empower every single instructor who walked through the door—a space built on trust and real professional support.
Today gave us an extra-special reason to raise a glass. Huge congratulations to James Wonnacott on passing his ADI Part 3 exam today! James has been training with JEM—and working directly with me—for just over a year now, and I couldn't be prouder to see all his hard work and dedication pay off. What a fantastic milestone to celebrate! 🚗🎉
It was lovely to catch up with the group who could make it to Newquay today to share a few drinks, enjoy good food, and take in the fantastic views over the sea. To everyone who couldn't join us—we toasted in your absence!
Looking back over this first year, where we are today has completely blown away my expectations:
28 Fully Qualified ADIs working all the way from Exeter down to Land's End
24 PDIs currently out on badge/trainee licence
12 New Trainees who have completed their DBS checks and are ready to start their journey with us
Our Wednesday and Thursday night training workshops are going great guns and continuing to grow every week!
To James, and to every single one of my amazing driving instructors who has trusted JEM, worked hard, and been part of this journey over the last 12 months: thank you. I have all of you to thank for where we are today. This celebration belongs to all of us.
Here’s to the community we’ve built, and to the next chapter! 🥂🚗💨

At the end of last week I was contacted by a trainee (PDI) training in Camborne/Pool, West Cornwall with some concerns about their training. We had a conversation in confidence. Simple, they’re finding the training confusing and didn’t feel like they were being supported properly. Here is the shocking part: in just a short period of time this trainee has seen three different trainers from the same regional driving school!!

That is the definition of being passed from pillar to post.
Even if a trainee is doing their best to adapt, this kind of revolving-door setup is highly damaging. How can anyone maintain continuity, build confidence, or receive consistent feedback when they are adjusting to a brand-new trainer from the passenger-seat dynamic every single week? It breaks the flow of learning and leads to inevitable confusion - science tells us this. This school is letting this trainee down!

If you’re finding this is happening to you, voice your concerns. You are investing your time, money, and future career into this training—you have every right to demand a consistent, dedicated mentor who actually knows you and your progress.

At JEM Driving Instructor Training and Development, we believe you deserve a stable foundation to build your career on.

When you train with JEM, you will never be treated like just a name on a spreadsheet. We provide proper, uninterrupted support. The trainer who starts with you is the trainer who stays with you, guiding you through your whole journey. No hand-offs, no mixed messages, and no disruption to your progress.

If you want a training partner who actually stands by you instead of passing you off just to suit their business needs, choose consistency. Choose JEM.

Are you feeling lost in your driving instructor training? Let’s get you on the right track.
Training to become an Approved Driving Instructor is a significant investment of your time, money, and energy. But what happens when things don't feel quite right?
I speak to trainees across Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall who, despite having a trainer or being attached to a driving school, feel confused, unsure, or quietly doubt they are being taught the right things.
If you are currently preparing for your Part 3 but feel like your trainer doesn't truly understand the depth of what is required to pass, I am offering a no-strings-attached second opinion.
You do not have to leave your current trainer or driving school to speak with me. Whether you'd like me to sit in the back of one of your lessons to observe, or you simply want to meet up for a coffee and a confidential chat about your progress and potential needs, I am here to help. Sometimes, a fresh set of experienced eyes is all it takes to make things click.
A quick piece of advice for anyone looking to sign up with a regional driving school:
Before you commit, ask them for their cold, hard data. Ask to see their most recent Part 3 results—specifically, their ratio of passes to fails—and ask them to back it up in writing.
In this industry, the experience of the team training you is everything. Ultimately, what really counts is that you pass your Part 3, and to do that, you need a trainer who knows exactly what it takes to get you there.
If you want a second opinion on your training, or just want to ensure you are on the right path, send me a private message or email me at [email protected]. Let's have a chat.

A busy Wednesday across the region, but I wouldn't have it any other way! 👋

I wanted to share a quick update on what an incredibly productive day looked like for me yesterday at JEM Driving Instructor Training & Development. It was a full day of travel and training across the region, and it really highlighted why I love doing what I do to support instructors across Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall.
Here is how yesterday mapped out:
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM (Camborne): Started bright and early, travelling down from Launceston to Camborne to work 1-on-1 with a fantastic instructor preparing for their Part 3. There is nothing quite like seeing that confidence and skill build during a dedicated session.
12:00 PM – 2:30 PM (Redruth): Headed over to the Penventon Park Hotel to host our daytime classroom workshop. A massive thank you to the brilliant group of instructors who came along. We caught up over teas and coffees and spent two and a half hours diving deep into teaching and learning strategies, focusing on those essential competencies on the SC1.
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Straight into another 2-hour development session with another instructor, fine-tuning skills and sharing practical strategies.
6:30 PM – 8:00 PM (Online): Made it back to Launceston just in time to fire up the laptop and log onto Teams. We wrapped up the day with our regular Wednesday evening workshop, welcoming a great bunch of instructors from all over the country to discuss teaching and learning strategies online.
From face-to-face coaching down in Cornwall to national logging-in on Teams, yesterday reminded me just how dedicated the people in our industry truly are. I feel incredibly privileged to be trusted by so many professionals across the Southwest and beyond to help them develop their skills.
If you are looking to elevate your training, prepare for an upcoming check, or just want to join a supportive community of driving instructors, you are always more than welcome to join us.
We run these classroom workshops and weekly Teams sessions regularly. If you'd like to come along to the next ones or find out more, feel free to drop me a message on here or reach out directly at [email protected].
Have a great day, everyone!

What a brilliant evening and what a turn out. A huge thank you to everyone who joined the JEM Driving Instructor Training workshop tonight. We had a fantastic turnout on Teams, diving deep into the concepts of risk management.

A quick reminder for everyone: we shifted to Thursday this week so nobody had to choose between professional development and cheering on England in the World Cup! Next week, we are right back to our usual Wednesday slot.
I have to say, I am incredibly humbled by the feedback flooding in lately. Hearing from PDIs across the country—who find me on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok—saying these weekly sessions are the direct reason they are passing their Part 3 exams means the world to me. Even my local instructors, whom I’m privileged to train face-to-face each week, are telling me how much value these sessions are adding to their businesses.
Every single week, I sit down to develop brand-new, cutting-edge training content. It takes hours of hard work and late nights, but when I see this amazing community growing and succeeding, it makes every second worth it. My goal is simple: to give both ADIs and PDIs the practical tools they need to thrive.
If you are a driving instructor and want to level up your skills, you are more than welcome to jump in with us next Wednesday.
📩 Just drop me an email at [email protected] and I’ll get you added to the group.
Wishing you all a successful week on the road, and let's keep raising the standard together! 🚘
