What are the 3 tests to become an ADI?
Part 1 - Theory and Hazard Perception
The ADI Part 1 is like the learner driver theory test but tougher. As an experienced driver, you'll answer more questions, and the passing score is higher.
The learner's theory test has 50 questions with a pass mark of 43, while the ADI theory test has 100 questions, and you need a score of 85 to pass.
Part 2 - Test of Driving Ability
The ADI Part 2 is like the practical driving test for learners, but with higher expectations for experienced drivers.
In a learner's driving test, you can have up to 15 driver faults, whereas in the ADI Part 2 test, you're allowed only 6 driving faults during the one-hour session.
Part 3 - Test of Instructional Ability
The ADI Part 3 assesses your teaching skills and instructional ability. During this test, an examiner will observe you while you instruct a pupil.
While it's possible to complete all 3 exams in just 3 months, most trainees, especially those balancing training with a job, typically take between 6 to 12 months to complete their training.
Requirements
Minimum age requirement is 21.
Possession of a UK manual driving license for a minimum of 3 years is necessary, with at least 4 years of driving experience before joining the ADI register.
No disqualifications from driving in the last 4 years before entering the ADI register.
A maximum of 6 penalty points allowed on your license.
Good health is essential, and if unsure, clarification can be sought during the application stage.
Successful completion of a DBS check, with renewal required every 4 years.
