So what is the next step?
You have to pass three tests to become a driving instructor in the following order:
- ADI Part 1 – Theory Test: This is a multiple-choice and hazard perception test that assesses your knowledge of driving theory and road safety.
- ADI Part 2 – Driving Ability Test: A practical driving test where you demonstrate advanced driving skills and techniques.
- ADI Part 3 – Instructional Ability Test: This evaluates your teaching skills, ensuring you can effectively instruct learner drivers.
Once you pass all three tests, you can register as an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) and begin your career.
