About ADI Part 1

There is no limit to the amount of times that the ADI part 1 test can be attempted.

It is a computer based test in which candidates have to answer multiple choice questions and respond to video clips of various driving situations.

The Part 1 test takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to complete and consists of 2 sections:

Multiple-choice questions
Hazard perception video clips

Both sections of the test must be passed at the same sitting in order for the potential driving instructor to receive an ADI Part 1 pass.

To help those that are not confident at using computers, it's possible to try a short practice session on the test computer before starting the actual test. Staff at the test centres will also be able to help with any concerns or questions before the test begins.

ADI Part 1 Theory Test

The theory test is the first part of ADI Part 1; candidates have 90 minutes to answer 100 multiple choice questions.

The questions on the computer screen are clear and it's easy to navigate through them or to come back to something later. It's also possible to go back and change answers within the 90 minutes allowed.

Part 1 is designed to test a potential driving instructor (PDI) on their knowledge of:

The Highway Code.
Rules of the road
Tnstructional techniques

The required knowledge has been split into 4 groups to ensure that potential driving instructors are tested on all areas required for teaching pupils. The 4 groups are:

Road procedure.
Traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge.
Driving test, disabilities, law.
Publications, instructional techniques.

ADI Part 1 Hazard Perception Test

After a short break, the second part of the test will begin, this is the hazard perception section which consists of 14 video clips, each around 1 minute long.

Before the actual hazard perception test videos start, there is a tutorial which explains how the test works and what to do.

The ADI Part 1 video clips contain footage filmed from a driver's point of view; each clip shows a different scenario. The candidate, playing the role of the driver, has to decide when a hazard situation is starting to develop in front of the vehicle, and whether they would have to take an action such as changing direction or speed, as a result.

Marks are awarded when candidates spot a developing hazard and press the mouse button. More marks are awarded if the hazard is spotted early, and less as the hazard develops.

The Marking System

Part 1 is designed to test a potential driving instructor (PDI) on their knowledge of:

Multiple-choice - 80% (at least 20 correct questions from each of the 4 groups)
Hazard perception - 57 out of a possible 75

Candidates should receive the results of ADI Part 1 before leaving the test centre. They will also be notified of the scores they received for each Theory Test group.

Please contact ADIT, Southall with your ADI Part 1 bookings and enquiries.

About ADI Part 2

ADI part 2 can only be taken after passing the ADI Part 1 test. Candidates have 3 attempts to pass - if unsuccessful, they must wait until 2 years after the date of passing ADI Part 1 before reapplying to become a Driving Instructor again.

The Part 2 test takes around one hour and includes:

An eyesight test
Vehicle safety questions
A test of your driving ability

Eyesight

You'll have to read a number plate from a distance of:

20 metres for vehicles with a new-style number plate.
20.5 metres for vehicles with an old-style number plate.

The driving test will be marked as a fail if you are unable to read the number plate. The test will end

Safety Questions

You'll be asked 5 vehicle safety questions, also known as 'show me, tell me' questions. These test that you know how to carry out basic safety checks around a vehicle.

Candidates are asked to tell the examiner how you perform a safety check on the condition of 3 components around the vehicle.

Driving Test

The Part 2 test of driving ability is an advanced driving test, where candidates are expected to show a high standard of knowledge, safety and driving ability in all situations that arise during the test.

The test route will include a wide range of road situations e.g. rural driving, fast moving traffic, busy junctions etc., as well as 3 of the reversing manoeuvres.

There is also an independent driving section where candidates must navigate a simple route without directions from the examiner.

Candidates must display a high standard of skill on the following aspects - throughout the entire test:

Handling of the controls
Road Procedure
Anticipation and appropriate action
Judgement of speed, distance and timing
Consideration for other road users

The Test Vehicle

The candidates car must be road legal and insured. The test may be cancelled if the vehicle doesn't meet the following requirements:

Taxed
Insured for a driving test (check with your insurance company)
Roadworthy and have a current MOT (if it's over 3 years old)
No warning lights showing, eg the airbag warning light
No tyre damage and the legal tread depth on each tyre
Smoke-free - this means you can't smoke in it just before or during the test
Be able to reach at least 62mph and have an mph speedometer
4 wheels and a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of no more than 3,500 kg - check the vehicle handbook
An extra interior rear-view mirror for the examiner
A passenger seatbelt for the examiner and a proper passenger head restraint (not a slip-on type)

About ADI Part 3

ADI part 3 can only be taken after passing the ADI Part 2 test. Candidates have 3 attempts to pass - if unsuccessful, they must wait until 2 years after the date of passing ADI Part 1 before reapplying to become a Driving Instructor again.

After passing the ADI Part 2 test, candidates can move onto Part 3, and just like Part 2, they are only allowed 3 attempts to pass. Unsuccessful candidates must wait until 2 years after the date of passing ADI Part 1 before they can reapply and begin the whole process again.

Part 3 takes approximately one hour and will assess the potential driving instructor on 17 competencies, which are broken down into 3 core areas of instruction:

Lesson planning
Risk management
Teaching and learning strategies

The test car is arranged by the candidate and must fit a list of requirements such as tax, insurance, MOT, L plates, rear seat belts etc. Failure to meet the criteria will result in the test being cancelled.

Updates to the ADI Part 3 Test now mean that the examiner will sit in the back of the car and assess, while the potential driving instructor gives a driving lesson to a pupil.

The pupil is arranged by the candidate and can be at any level of driving ability (although they are NOT allowed to be a qualified driving instructor or another candidate preparing for Part 3).

At the end of ADI Part 3, the examiner will go back into the test centre to work out the final marks, and fill out the paperwork. Candidates then wait until the examiner calls them to the office to hear the results and some feedback about the driving lesson that was given.

ADI Part 3 is the most difficult test in the process of becoming a qualified, approved driving instructor. Many trainees struggle and can be confused by what is expected of them in order to pass the test.

Because candidates are only allowed 3 attempts at this test, failure on the initial attempt can lead to added pressure on subsequent tests, which can have a negative effect during a test situation.

Not being adequately prepared for the ADI Part 3 is the main reason that potential driving instructors fail on their first attempt. In order to pass, trainees must be absolutely clear on how to teach any type of lesson, and confident that they can carry it out.

Finding good quality ADI Part 3 training done by an experienced instructor trainer is essential, and it ensures the trainee has the confidence to pass ADI Part 3, and go on to be a successful driving instructor.

Please contact ADIT, Southall with your ADI Part 3 driving instructor training enquiries.
