The ADI Qualification
Part 01 — Theory & Hazard Perception
Two tests covering Highway Code, road safety, driving techniques, basic first aid, and the theory of instruction. You must score 85% on the theory test and 57/75 on the hazard perception test. DMJ provides all online training materials and unlimited mock tests.
Part 02 — Advanced Practical Driving Test
Demonstrate a professional level of driving ability to a DVSA examiner. DMJ provides 10 hours of one-to-one training in an appropriate tuition vehicle. The test lasts around an hour and includes an eye test and vehicle maintenance questions.
Part 03 — Instructional Ability Test
A one-hour test where a DVSA examiner watches you deliver a client-centred driving lesson. DMJ provides the required training hours to qualify for a trainee licence, after which you can earn while you learn. You are only permitted three attempts, so choosing the right school is vital.
You are only permitted three attempts at the Part 2 and Part 3 tests — so choosing the right training school is vital.
How Long Will It Take?
Because everyone learns at a different pace, some instructors qualify in as little as six months while others take a little longer. Your lifestyle, commitment, and available time all play a part. What we can promise is dedicated, personal support every step of the way.
