Skills required

Approved driving instructors require a high standard of driving ability and a sound knowledge of the subjects related to teaching others to drive and must be able to apply these abilities.

Teaching others to drive includes being knowledgeable about:

  • how to teach
  • how people learn
  • how to assess the performance of others
  • communication
  • interpersonal skills

Legal requirements

When applying to become a driving instructor, you must fulfill certain legal requirements:

Qualifying

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

You must take and pass all three parts of the examination in this order and must complete the whole examination within two years of passing the theory test. If you are unable to complete the examinations within this time you must start again from the beginning and pass each part once again. You can take the theory test as many times as you wish but you are only allowed a maximum of three attempts at each of the practical tests within each two year qualification period.

Applying to become an approved driving instructor

If you decide to embark on this career, your first step should be to complete the application form enclosed in the starter pack and submit it to the Registrar who will decide if it will be accepted. You will need to send in character references from two people who know you well and will be prepared to vouch for you when approached by the Registrar. You should use the forms enclosed in the pack for these references.

It should not be assumed that acceptance is an automatic process, new applications can be refused by the Registrar if they do not meet the necessary legal requirements. To order a starter pack and/or theory test question book please call the ADI publication order line 0870 121 4202 with your credit or debit card details.
