Apply for a trainee driving instructor licence – GOV.UK
Option 1 – Supervision of Lessons
In this option you have to be supervised by your sponsoring ADI for 20% of all the lessons you give.
You must keep a record of the number of hours:
The ADI 21S supervision record form, Record the supervision you get as a trainee driving instructor – GOV.UK, must be signed by both you and your ADI. You must send it to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) when your trainee licence runs out.
Option 2 – Extra Training
In this option you have to do at least 20 hours of extra training in the topics in the training programme. You must do this before you book the ADI part 3 test.
You must send the form to DVSA before the end of the 3 months, or the day after you book your ADI part 3 test, whichever comes first.
You can only choose one option and you cannot change to the other after you’ve made your decision. Talk to your sponsoring approved driving instructor (ADI) or training organisation about which option is best for you.
For the theory you have 100 questions spilt into 4 categories each with 25 question and you have achieved 25%.
This is the first test that you will need to take and includes a theory and hazard perception test. From the day you take this first test, it starts the clock for your 2 year qualification period. Because we use the very best training package on the market, all of the tools you need are provided for you, including free access to theory test pro, where you can start practicing straight away! Also integrated into part one are some great study tips to help you learn and retain any new information.
As an experienced driver, this sounds simple enough but passing this exam is required to be able to demonstrate that you have enough knowledge to answer pupil questions during lessons.
Once you’re consistently passing mock tests and you feel confident that you are answering correctly and you are comfortable with the hazard perception test, you can take the exam, which costs £81.
Lasts for 60 mins, to pass you require less than 6 driver errors, no serious or dangerous errors.
This is a test of your driving ability where you will be expected to demonstrate a very high standard. The test will take approximately 1 hour and cover the following:
With our training package, you will be more than prepared for this test as it’s not just an advanced driving test but assesses your ability to give a demonstration drive to future pupils that sets a good example. During your part 2 training you will develop a wide variety of skills that will bring your driving up to the required standards for this test.
Your trainer will ensure that you are of the standard required before your test, which costs £111.

This is the final stage in your qualifying process. You will need to teach according to the 17 competencies which were written to fall in line with the ‘National Standards for Driver and Rider Training’. Your trainer will be there to support you so that you feel confident in your ability to teach safely before you go on your trainee licence(recommended). If you decide you don’t want to go on a trainee licence, you can still teach friends and family but you will not be able to charge money for this. Once you are ready you will take your test. During the test you will be expected to conduct a lesson with a pupil, which is observed by an examiner, who sits in the back. You will feel well prepared for this as you will be used to your trainer being there during your training and observations.
The test costs £111.

The TCIT course is simply the best instructor training program on the market. It is fully integrated covering everything you need right from day one until qualifying. TCIT puts you in control of your training and your budget. Its mapped against the DVSA NATIONAL STANDARD FOR DRIVER AND RIDER TRAINING. The cost of the full course starts from as little as £600.00 including the necessary supporting books and online resources. Choosing TCIT also means your training will NOT be held up by waiting for test dates before you can progress through the course!
Our driving instructor training course is designed in such a way that you will be able to fit it in with your other commitments.
You will have full access to our Tri-Coaching Instructor Training Online Package, which contains links that take you to webinars that detail what you need to do to prepare for your in-car sessions. These webinars contain a wealth of information about the ‘bigger picture’ of being a driving instructor, such as, the Goals for Driver Education, learning theories and models of behavioural change, coaching and client-centred learning techniques and the DVSA National Standards.
You will be able to track and monitor your progress through the in-car sessions with action plans and marking sheets in the (TCIT) driving instructor training course book, as well as being available for download from this website.
We will advise you and work with you to take the three parts of the qualifying examination but ultimately the timing of when you go for these is down to you and how ready you feel. The course will take around six months to complete if you attend one in-car session every two weeks.
The content of the course has been developed so that you will understand what is involved in becoming a good driving instructor. This insight will then enable you to go and complete the three parts to the qualifying examination. The course focuses on the National Standards from the DVSA and, in particular, the DVSA National Driver and Rider Training Standard, which sets out the competences you will need to demonstrate in order to be a driving instructor. In the same way as you will be placing a far greater emphasis on safe driving for life than getting through a driving test when teaching your pupils to drive, we will be focused on developing your skills as a driving instructor rather than teaching you to pass a test. The Part 3 test of instructional ability is notoriously difficult but often this is because all the focus of the training has been narrowly targeted at the ADI Part 3 pre-set test combinations. We focus on a whole breadth and range of skills and techniques and develop your understanding of when to use and apply them, so that when you go for your ADI part 3 test it is like sitting in an interview and showing off your skills.
Part 3 Driving Instructor Training Course. Compatible with the 40hr requirement for a trainee licence when used with an ADI trainer.
Samia’s Part 3 focuses on getting you, the trainee driving instructor, ready to take your Part 3 test. The course assumes you have already passed your Part 1 and Part 2. The course consists of two modules. Module One is eight x five-hour sessions (these can be split into 16 x 2.5 hour sessions over four months at one a week; or completed intensively over a two-week period; or any variation of this to suit you and your trainer). Module Two consists of 5 x four-hour sessions divided between lesson observation; and training and development.
In-Car Sessions
The course has been designed to satisfy the requirements of the DVSA PDI Trainee Licence although it is not necessary for you to go on Trainee Licence in order to complete the course. The course will still help you prepare for your Part 3.
Each in-car session is self-contained. It will not be necessary for you to complete any preparation or homework either side of the in-car session. This is because you may be completing this course on an intensive basis – four days a week over two weeks. However, if you have time between sessions, please spend it reading up on what is needed to be a driving instructor, practising your driving, commentary driving and ability to watch the pupil (by observing the driver when you are a passenger).
During the in-car sessions you will be:
Use the notes pages to write down learning points you have covered with the Trainer during the session.
Our franchise is simple and fair. We do not make any silly promises of guaranteed pupils or guaranteed earning or long tied in contracts with expensive buy out fees. What we do ask is commitment and verbal notice of any intention to leave. In return we guarantee advertising in your local area targeted for you and support and back up from a dedicated team, as it can be quite scary to start out in business on your own. contact for more details
You can then choose from creating your own business; working with a local driving school or taking out a franchise with us or from one of the big national driving schools. You are in control of your own future and have the possibility of gross earnings being more than £50,000 once you are established (based on a 35-hour week and lesson prices of £35 an hour). There are regional variations, but most driving instructors charge a minimum of £25 per hour and there are a few who charge in excess of £40 per hour.
Becoming a driving instructor will give you the independence that you have always sought whether it is part time or full time.
I know this might appear like a huge amount of confusing information! With that in mind I am more than happy to have an informal chat over the phone, over zoom or over a coffee! You have already taken your first, big step to achieving your goal and getting on the road, now let Samia’s Driving School do the rest!
