HOW TO TRAIN TO

BECOME A

DRIVING INSTRUCTOR

 

If you possess the motivation to succeed, then you have come to the right place!

 

 


First Steps

Application for Registration – In order to start the qualification process, all candidates should obtain the ADI starter pack, “Your road to becoming an Approved Driving Instructor”.  This can be ordered from desktopdriving.com .  This pack contains the ADI 14 information booklet and ADI 3 application form.

CRB Check

Obtain a criminal record check – This process is free and will usually take 4-6 weeks, so it’s good to apply as soon as possible (even if you haven’t decided whether to commit to your training).

The application form can be ordered from Capita on 0870 850 2455.

Legal Requirement

  • Hold a full UK or European Union unrestricted driving licence.
  • Have held a licence for a total of at least four years out of the past six.
  • Have not been disqualified from driving any time in the last four years.  The decision rests with the Registrar, who will take into account any motoring convictions acquired in the last six years and/or your criminal record, if any.  Any motoring offence(s) which result in current endorsements totalling five penalty points or more will be looked at closely and could result in an application being refused. 
  • Be a 'fit and proper' person to have your name entered on the register.
  • Pass the two qualifying practical exams within two years of passing the theory test.
  • Apply for registration within 12 months of passing your final part 3 exam.
  • Additionally, to accompany a learner driver you must have held a full UK or EU/EEA driving licence in the same class of vehicle for three years and be aged 21 or over.  A full licence issued in another country will count towards this three-year period, provided it is accepted under the 'exchange' scheme (for more details of the exchange scheme you should read section four of the DVLA booklet D100 'What you need to know about driving licences' available at most Post Offices). 

Training

Our training is carried out on a 'one to one' basis to achieve the best possible results and give best value for money.  Also, AHD Driving School Ltd includes a mentoring service to help you along the way and enable you to gain your ultimate goal of becoming a DSA Approved Driving Instructor.
