In order to become an ADI there are 3 'register qualifying examinations' Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3, which are conducted by the DSA; details of which are given below along with how we will help you to prepare for each.
This test consists of 100 multiple choice
questions followed by 14 hazard perception video clips all done on a
touch-screen computer. It is a similar format to the learner theory test,
but you are asked more questions and of course the pass marks are higher.
The test may be taken at any DSA theory test centre and there is one in
every major town or city.
We will provide you with one of the most comprehensive packages of training
materials in the industry comprising of several Official DSA publications
including the complete bank of official DSA questions, DSA recommended
publications, video/DVD material and computer software to ensure that you
get off to the best possible start. You will also be placed on our Theory
Course which is done over two weeks as an evening class. Preparing well for
your Part 1 will give you a good knowledge base and most importantly good
understanding. This is absolutely essential in your quest to become a good
driving instructor.
During your Part 1 preparation, we invite you to commence your Part 2
training if you wish, where your personal trainer can help you to prepare
for the hazard perception element of the Part 1 exam. This is done both `on
the road' and through the use of computer based simulations. We consider
this very important as this part of the test is difficult and demands good
preparation. Our combination of in-car and computer preparation will put
you in the best possible position to succeed.
This test is
basically an advanced driving test where you must show a high standard of
driving. It lasts for about an hour and may be taken at a DSA regional
driving test centre.
We will prepare you for this exam in our training vehicles, guided by our
highly skilled trainers. The amount and frequency of training required
varies from person to person and this will be tailored to you as an
individual. We understand that you may have developed bad habits over the
years, but we also understand that you have a wealth of experience on which
to build.
Your training
sessions will be designed to develop your driving skills to make you an even
better driver and we are confident that as a side effect you will find
driving more pleasurable than ever, after all, we all enjoy doing something
that we're good at. This training is flexible and may be taken at a pace
that is suited to your needs. Of course we will work around your existing
commitments.
On the day of your test, if you like we will accompany you to the test
centre to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible and we will provide
one of our training vehicles for your use during your test something that
many training providers do not do.
The object of
this test is to assess the quality of your instruction and your ability to
pass your knowledge on to pupils. This is done using role-play, the
examiner taking on the role of a learner driver. There are 10 pre-set tests
that the examiner can choose from. The test lasts for about an hour and may
be taken at any regional driving test centre.
This is by far the most challenging of the 3 examinations and it is crucial
that you receive the right training. Just because an instructor may be good
at teaching learner drivers, they may not be able to teach how to teach
effectively. Instructional technique training is a very specialist skill
and you can rest assured that when you train with DTC your trainer will be
amongst the best in the country. This part of the training is again done in
one of our training vehicles. Role play is used extensively and we will
provide you with our own comprehensive Part 3 training guide and high
quality visual aids. As with Part 2, your training will be tailored to you
as an individual. Remember, there is no limit to the amount of training you
receive. It is in our interest in order to maintain our position as one of
the leading training providers to ensure that you are ready for this exam.
Once again, on the day of your test your trainer will accompany you if you
request this and we will provide you with the use of one of our vehicles.
This is very important because it can be difficult to get a car with the
correct insurance for this exam again many training providers do not offer
this.
