Driving Instructor Insurance is provided by Waveney Group Schemes Ltd they are a specialist provider of insurance for driving schools, cover includes a dual control replacement car.
Approved Driving Instructor (or ADI) is a UK term for a trainer of car driving who has been tested and licensed by the Driving Standards Agency. It is a legal requirement that instructors of car driving in the UK must be thus qualified in order to charge for their services. [1]
Free tuition or supervision may however be given by any individual over the age of 21 who has held and continues to hold a full licence in the same class of vehicle as that being used for at least 3 years. The UK has no law requiring the compulsory use of an ADI but research shows that nine out of ten learners who passed their theory and practical driving tests first time were taught by an instructor. [1]

To be entered on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors one must:
Be at least 21 years of age.
Has held and continues to hold a UK or EU driving licence for 4 out of the previous 6 years prior to having their name entered onto the Register of Approved Driving Instructors.

Pass 3 searching examinations.
'Part 1' is the Theory Test which consists of a multiple choice test of 100 questions split into four bands and a Hazard Perception Test. In order to pass the candidate must achieve a pass mark of at least 85% in the multiple choice element and answer at least 80% of the questions correctly in each band therefore while a candidate may achieve over 80% overall they may still fail if they do not answer 80% correctly in any one band. The pass mark for the Hazard Perception Test is 57 out of 75. The pass rate for this part of the qualification process is 49% [2]
'Part 2' is a test of the candidates driving ability and lasts for one hour covering many types of roads and conditions, a high level of competence is required and all manoeuvres are tested. The pass rate for Part 2 is 45% [2]
'Part 3' is a test of instructional ability and lasts for one hour which is broken into two phases. In phase one the examiner will role play a pupil of beginner stage and will be expected to be instructed accordingly, for the second phase the examiner will role play a pupil of test standard/a pupil who have failed their test or a full licence holder. In order to pass the candidates must achieve at least a grade 4 in each. The pass rate for Part 3 is 28% [2] Parts 2 and 3 must be passed within two years of the successful part 1 attempt, in addition to this Parts 2 and 3 are limited to three attempts in any two year period, if you do not qualify in this two year period you will have to re-apply to the DSA and then re-take all of the examinations again.
To prove that an instructor is legally allowed to accept money or monies worth in exchange for tuition in driving a motor car they must;
Display a green badge in the left side of the windscreen of the training vehicle showing their photo, name and confirming their place on the Register.[1]
Display a red/pink badge as a Trainee Instructor provided they have passed their part 2 and have undergone a minimum amount of training this licence is only valid for six months and is designed to give prospective instructor valuable experience for their part 3 examination. [1]
In addition to this qualified instructors must undergo a test of 'Continued Ability and Fitness to Give Instruction' (Check Test) at regular intevals in order to remain on the register, instructors failing to do so can face removal from the register. The Check Test involves a supervising examiner sitting in the back of a normal lesson to ensure the instructor is maintaining their standard of teaching, if the instructor can not provide a student the examiner will do a role play. [3]
Instructors are rated according to this Check Test as Grade 1 to Grade 6; where 6 is the highest, 4 is competent, and 1, 2 and 3 are varying fail grades.
The DSA is currently undergoing a consultative process to bring in changes to training, testing and a driving for life programme. The consultation looks at an improved driving test, improved learning process, better information about instructors and improved instructor training and to introduce further options for learning and qualifications, more information can be found at DSA Learning to Drive Consultation
