Entry requirements to become a instructor

Entry requirements:



Your first step to becoming an instructor is to register with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to train as an approved driving instructor (ADI). You will need to meet the following conditions:



* Be aged 21 or over



* Have held a driving licence for at least three years



* Complete and pass enhanced criminal record and motoring conviction checks (DBS)



The ADI exam is in three stages and you must pass all three to qualify:



ADI 1 - computer-based test in two parts: theory test and hazard perception test

ADI 2 - practical test of driving skills

ADI 3 - practical test of teaching ability



You must pass each stage before taking the next one. You can take the theory test as many times as you need to but you only have three attempts to pass the ADI 2 and ADI 3 exams. You must complete stages 2 and 3 within two years of passing ADI 1
