Becoming a Driving Instructor
The driving standards agency(DSA) set up the driving instructor register to improve the standard of driving instruction and tuition which was bieng delivered. Thier aim was to not only maintain instructor standards but to improve the level of instruction being given to student drivers.
To become an instructor you will have to pass three tests they involve different aspects of driving instruction.The theory and hazard perception test will be the first test you will have to take in order to become a driving instructor. Potential driving instructors (PDI) have to pass all three in two years from passing the first test to become qualified.
To pass the first part of the test you must score 20 ot of 25 in each section and an overall mark of 85 out of 100 to enable you to pass the initial of the test.
You will need a total of 59 out of 75 to pass the hazard perception test. You will watch video clips with potential hazards the quicker you identify these hazards the more points you score. The points gained are on a sliding scale from 5 being very quick to 0 very slow or not at all. There are 15 hazards and you need an average of 4 a clp to pass.
To progress on to part 2 you must pass both parts of the initial test. the second part of the test will test your ability to drive.
Part 2 is known as the advanced driving test. The test itself last around an hour taking in various road conditions with a senior examiner. To pass this test you must commit less than seven minor faults and no serious faults. If you are successful in step 2 you would then be allowed to undertake a trainee licence to allow you to prepare for the third test and most difficult test of instructor ability.
The final examination will test your ability to teach pupils how to safely control a car, again this test is in two parts where the examiner will play a beginner driver learning a new subject in phase one and in phase two a partly trained learner having difficulty in a particular driving subject. To pass this part you must show a reasonable level of competence in both parts.
you will have to complete all three parts of the tests to gain full qualification. you are allowed 2 years to complete 3 parts or you will have to start at the theory again. - 21392
