Driving Instructor Qualifying Examination
The qualification examination is in three parts:
a computer based theory test
a practical test of your driving ability
a practical test of your ability to instruct
The three-part qualifying exam must be passed within a two-year period and in the following sequence:-
Part 1 Theory Test
This test consists of 100 multiple choice questions. The questions are banded into four sections. To pass you must score 80% in each band and achieve an overall mark of at least 85%.
Each question has three answers and you simply touch the computer screen by the one you think is correct.
The most economical, easiest and effective way of preparing for this test is to follow the 1st Call Home Study Programme - you will find more information about this on the training page.
Hazard Perception Test
As part of the Government’s plan to improve road safety, The Driving Standards Agency has incorporated a hazard perception element into the ADI Theory Test.
The test is made up of 14 film clips chosen at random from a bank of two hundred. The clips show real road scenes and potential hazards and you will be assessed on your reactions to the developing dangers.
You have to achieve a pass mark of 57 out of a possible 75.
To Pass the Part 1
You have to pass both elements of the test in one session.
Part 2 Test of Driving Ability
This test is of about one hour's duration and covers all types of driving including:-
urban; rural; dual carriageway; motorway; emergency stop; left and right reverse; reverse parking; and turn in the road. You need to demonstrate the ability to drive effectively and efficiently, putting into practice the rules and regulations that apply to all the situations in which you find yourself. You will be assessed on your:
handling of the controls
application of correct road procedure; anticipation of the actions of other road users and taking the appropriate action
sound judgement of speed, distance and timing
consideration for the convenience and safety of other road users
You are limited to three attempts at this test. You therefore need to be prepared to have enough high-quality training before you take it.
Part 3 Test of Instructional Ability
This tests lasts for about an hour and is split into two "phases".
Phase I - your examiner will play the role of a learner with either no, or very little, experience. This part of the test is to assess your teaching skills and how well you can adjust to the level of ability of the "pupil" being portrayed.
Phase II - your examiner will play the role of a pupil with more experience. This part of the exam is to test your ability to assess and correct any underlying problems the pupil may have and to give positive advice on how to improve.
You are limited to only three attempts at this test. You must therefore be prepared to have sufficient high quality training before you take it.
Only when you have passed all three parts of the examination and have paid pay the Registration fee, will you be eligible to have your name entered in the ADI Register and call yourself: Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor (Car).

How to become a driving instructor
To become an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)
You must have held a full driving licence for at least 4 years
Be able to read a car number plate from a minimum distance of 90 feet.
Your licence should be free of endorsements, although certain allowances may be made. Anybody with serious criminal convictions cannot be accepted.
You must pass a searching three part examination. This comprises of theory, driving and instructional ability.
You must have your name entered on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors
Once you have satisfied all of the above criteria, you will then be a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). You must then send in your registration fee, and you will receive your 'green badge'. This must be displayed whilst giving lessons for reward. Display it in the lower left corner of the front windscreen.
Your registration will last for 4 years. You can renew the registration on payment of a fee, however your continued fitness and ability to instruct is monitored. If certain standards are not met, you could ultimately be removed from the register.
You love driving, but have you the patience of a Saint?
There will always be people who want and need to learn to drive, so equally there will always be a call for professional driving instructors to teach them. Becoming a qualified Driving Instructor is not simply starting a new job, but learning the skills of a new profession which can last the rest of your working life. A good sense of humour and product knowledge are a good starting point. Can you teach a mature learner like Maureen Reece of television documentary `Driving School' fame?
You need to be patient - it's not always easy to be the perfect driver and spend your time sitting next to people who can't drive ! Not only is it a very rewarding and interesting career, but as nearly all driving instructors are self employed, there is a higher degree of freedom and flexibility than in many other professions. This should appeal to women, who are always in demand as driving instructors, yet only a small proportion of DSA registered driving instructors are female.
