Becoming a driving instructor
To become a driving instructor, you have to pass three tests so it’s important you are trained by a specialist driving instructor training company such as ourselves. The qualifying examination to become a driving instructor is in three parts. The exams are conducted by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). We will give you full training to prepare you for each test.
The three parts of the ADI qualification
Part one – the theory test
This consists of 100 multiple-choice questions followed by a hazard perception test.
​
Part two – test of driving ability
This is a practical driving test lasting one hour, in order to test your physical driving ability.
​
Part three – test of instructional ability
An examiner from the DVSA will sit in the back of your tuition vehicle and observe you delivering a one-hour driving lesson to a learner driver. The examiner will assess the quality of the lesson you deliver and decide whether you have achieved the standard required to pass the test.
You can train by a pay-as-you-go method (£45 per hour in Mansfield area or £40 in the Retford area or a one-off fee of £1,760 (Mansfield area) £1560 (Retford area). A £250 deposit secures your training place.
Once you have qualified you will earn £36 per hour per lesson. We will also help with the cost running of your business (car, fuel, insurance etc.) and you would be working with the area's leading driving school.
