ADI Part 3, the qualifying test/Instructional techniques
After you complete the part 3 training, you can obtain a trainee licence (valid for 6 months) the trainee licence can be used to develop your instructional skills and gain confidence, also you can be paid for teaching pupils.
What happens during the test !!!
The part 3 is to assess your instructional ability, preparing you to be able to pass on your driving skills to others. A DVSA examiner will observe you give a client-centred driving lesson lasting about an hour to one of your pupils. The examiner will look for evidence that you meet the national standard for driver and rider training.
It is a competence-based assessment. You will be assessed on the 3 main competencies - which are then broken down to a list of 17 lower level competencies:
- Lesson planning
- Risk management
- Teaching and learning strategies
For more information click here for a detailed description.
You only have three attempts at part 3. If you fail three times then you have to wait for two years from the date you passed part one before you can start again from part one. Good quality training from an experienced trainer is essential if you want to have any chance of passing. We are driven to help people just like you to become approved driving instructors.
