Embarking on a Rewarding Career: ADI Driving Instructor Training with Sky Driving School
Becoming a driving instructor is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to shape the driving habits of future motorists, ensuring safer roads for everyone.
If you’re considering this fulfilling career path, at Sky Driving School we offer comprehensive ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) training designed to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel.
Why Choose a Career as a Driving Instructor?
The role of a driving instructor is both rewarding and flexible. It allows you to be your own boss, set your own hours, and make a tangible difference in people’s lives by teaching them essential driving skills. Whether you’re seeking a career change, looking for a job that fits around family commitments, or aiming to run your own business, becoming a driving instructor offers numerous benefits.
Understanding the ADI Qualification Process
To legally operate as a driving instructor in the UK, you must pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) qualifying examination. This process ensures that all instructors meet a high standard of instruction and road safety awareness.
The qualification process is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Theory and Hazard Perception
This initial stage assesses your knowledge of driving theory and hazard perception. The test comprises 100 multiple-choice questions covering topics such as road procedures, traffic signs, and instructional techniques. Additionally, you’ll undertake a hazard perception test involving 14 video clips that evaluate your ability to identify developing hazards.
At Sky Driving School we provide extensive resources and support to help you prepare effectively for this stage.
This practical test evaluates your driving skills to ensure you can operate a vehicle to a high standard. The examination includes an eyesight test, safety questions, and a test of driving technique lasting approximately one hour.
At Sky Driving School we offer hands-on, on-road training to refine your driving skills, ensuring you meet the DVSA’s strict requirements.
The final stage assesses your ability to instruct learners effectively. You’ll be observed delivering a real driving lesson, demonstrating your instructional techniques and ability to adapt to the learner’s needs.
At Sky Driving School our experienced trainers provide in-depth coaching to prepare you for this assessment, focusing on real-life teaching scenarios to build your confidence and competence.
