Instructor Training

GO Driver Training can help you through from start to qualifying. Our associated ORDIT registered trainer will be with you every step of the way. You start with part 1 (theory), and work your way through until you are fully qualified. Once you have passed part 1, you have to complete the remaining 2 parts within 2 years, or you will have to start again. You only have 3 attempts each, to pass part 2 & 3. Once you have passed part 1 and part 2, you can get a pink trainee driving instructors licence and start teaching for payment in order to gain experience. Once you have passed all 3 tests, you can join the DSA's ADI register as an approved driving instructor. You can then apply for your green ADI certificate which you display in your car.

Part 1 Theory: Split into two parts – multiple choice, and hazard perception. The multiple choice test consists of 100 questions, each question having a choice of upto 4 different answers. You must select the correct answer. The pass mark is 85%. The hazard perception test is made up of 14 video clips, each clip contains 1 road hazard. You must click the button as soon as you see a hazard developing which will require the driver to take action such as braking. The earlier you detect the hazard, the better your score.

Part 2 Your Driving: This section is quite similar to the standard driving test. However the test is longer and less driving faults are allowed. it is much more difficult to pass than a standard learner test.

Part 3 Instructional Ability: You must give two 30 minute “roll play mock” driving lessons to the supervising examiner, on any subject that he chooses. The examiner will make mistakes on purpose and ask you questions, and judge how you respond. The examiner will also require you to brief him on the objectives of the lesson.

Choosing The Right Driving Instructor Training

Because the tests are so difficult, it is important that you choose the right driving instructor training. Don’t automatically choose the cheapest course as this will not always be the best one for you. Remember – treat the training course costs as an investment for your future.

Becoming a driving instructor is the best thing I ever did, however you should go about the whole process as if you were making a business decision, because after all, this is your future, and it will be your business.
