I first started working with Nando in May 2018 when he trained me for my ADI Part 2 driving test. His exceptional wealth of knowledge from his years’ of experience at his previous profession, helped me to become a superior driver on a level I did not think possible. Following on from my Part 2 success, Nando set to work on training me for the Part 3 Instructional Ability part of the ADI process. At times he must have wondered whether I had been given to him to test his patience and resilience, but thankfully he persevered and slowly but surely, his guidance, influence and above-all, motivation, helped me to understand what was needed in the role. As I pointed out to him on our last lesson together before my Part 3 test, I learned more in the first half-hour with him that day than in all the hours I had been poring over various books; it all just seemed to make sense with the way he explained it. His advice, direction and information, helped me to achieve a first-time Part 3 pass; a feat that has enabled me to start a new full-time career as an ADI after more than 30 years in another industry.
I genuinely cannot speak more highly of his ability to coach and advise me in the role as my trainer/mentor. I hope I can still turn to him for advice, if needed, now and again. Hanus Daniel Wolf
