- 3. Pass the 3 Part Curriculum
- Becoming a Driving Instructor simply requires you to pass 3 core assessments. All our courses will help you prepare for every part of the process to successfully qualify!
- The Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) Part 1 test is comprised of a Theory and Hazard perception test. This assessment includes a multiple-choice section made up of questions on topics such as traffic signs and signals, road procedure and mechanical knowledge, alongside a hazard perception test to finish with just like when you yourself learnt to drive!
- The Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) Part 2 test is made up of a basic eyesight check, several ‘show me, tell me’ vehicle safety questions to check your understanding and finally an assessment of your overall driving ability (which includes both driving independently and testing your ability to undertake specific manoeuvres).
- The Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) Part 3 test involves delivering a real driving lesson to a pupil, under the supervision of a driving examiner. This Instructional Ability Test assesses your competency in terms of lesson planning, risk management and both teaching and learning strategies. To help prepare you for this, once you have completed your Part 3 training, Bill Plant Driving School can sponsor you on a trainee licence, ensuring you gain the vital practical experience you need to ace your final exam, all while earning an income alongside some additional free training!

Frequently Asked Questions
This might sound cliché, but the more you choose to work the more you earn…and being your own boss means you can work as much as you want! Our Driving Instructors will generally earn £28 – £33 per hour, so the earning potential is in excess of £35,000 per annum if you choose to work a 35 hour week.
The DVSA allow you as many attempts at Part 1 as you need. Once you have passed your Part 1, you will then have two years to pass both Part 2 and Part 3. You are allowed three attempts at Part 2 and Part 3. If either exam is failed for the third time, then you cannot proceed any further in that instance, and can restart the process once your theory test has expired (2 years after you pass your Part 1 Exam).
While we can’t speak for every driving school, in the last year, 89% of those who completed their training course, who opted for our PDI trainee licence, successfully qualified as Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs).
Absolutely! As a Driving Instructor, you have complete control over all these aspects relating to your business. Can you really say you are your own boss if you are being told where and when you need to be somewhere? Unlike other major driving schools – we believe that the students we supply you are your customers to manage in entirety– meaning we do not schedule your driving lesson appointments or set your pricing whatsoever.
