Qualified Driving Instructor
How do I become a
Qualified Driving Instructor?
To become a qualified Driver and Vehicles Standard Agency (DVSA) Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), you are required to pass the DVSA examination, which is in three parts. After passing the Theory Test (Part 1) you will need to pass two Practical Tests (Part 2 & 3) within 2 years.
PART 1
A computer based multiple choice theory test (100 questions) and hazard perception test. You are required to pass both and will need to score 85/100 & 57/75 respectively.
PART 2
A practical driving test designed to evaluate your driving ability. The exam lasts for one hour and you must not concede more than 6 driving faults to pass. This is the stage at which you can consider a Trainee Licence and earn while you learn.
PART 3
A practical instructional test designed to instruct a student. The examiner observes you training a learner or a full licence holder from the back seat of your vehicle.

I passed my driving test in Cambridge with Stuart, and I couldn’t be happier! He is an excellent instructor — calm, clear, and very supportive. It took a few tries because I was an experienced driver and I had to forget years of bad habits, but Stuart was patient and he got me through it.

Great driving instructor. Great to get along with and learnt lots! Had Kate as my instructorPosted on J YUTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I passed my driving test this morning in Letchworth! I couldn't recommend my driving instructor, Jerry Agorsor, more. While I'm generally stressed, he's incredibly patient, knowledgeable, kind, and professional. When I got a surprise test slot only a week before my test, I was panicked. He managed to find some time for me and gave me two extra training sessions beforehand. Thanks to his professional and patient teaching, I passed! I highly recommend Jerry to anyone who wants to pass the driving test. He will be the one to help you get the license!
