About the qualification you need
To legally operate as a driving instructor in the UK you are required to pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) qualifying examination which is split into three parts.
- Part 1 is a PC based multiple choice theory and hazard perception test similar to the current test for learner drivers but to a higher standard
- Part 2 is a driving test, again similar to the current test for learner drivers but to a higher standard
- Part 3 is a practical test of your ability to instruct where the examiner plays the role of a learner driver (only valid until 2nd October 2017 when the test will dramatically change - see below for details)
To pass the above tests you will receive the very best training available from our dedicated nationwide team of ORDIT qualified tutors, along with our fully guided state-of-the-art open learning driving instructor training course. For us, it is vital that you pass the ADI examination and go on to establish a successful LDC driving school business in your area as quickly as possible. This is why our training is so comprehensive in comparison with our competitors and why we put so much emphasis on helping your business flourish once qualified with our incredible business start up package.
We passed with LDC... so can you.
For more details about the requirements and the qualifying examination please see About the DVSA.
Please note the Part 3 test changed in 2018
From 2018 the DVSA examiner will observe you giving a real driving lesson to one of your pupils rather than the examiner pretending to be a pupil. In other words the examiner whats to see you performing the job for real. Consequently any course must incorporate on the job training to ensure you succeed. Naturally this favours those who are being trained by a well established driving school such as LDC, rather than an organisation who is just trying to sell you an instructor training course.
DVSA Trainee License
Once you have passed Part 2 and have completed your initial Part 3 training you are allowed to work as a trainee driving instructor provided you are sponsored by a driving school that supports the Government's Trainee Licence scheme, such as LDC. This potentially gives you up to 6 months real on-the-job training to help you pass Part 3 and start earning money earlier than might otherwise be possible. With the introduction of the new Part 3 test this option becomes even more important to have. Please note Trainee Licence positions are reserved for students who have been exclusively trained by LDC.

All driving instructors in the UK are self-employed and we believe that we offer the most competitive and appealing franchise in the market today. You only have to compare our weekly franchise fee with those of the AA, BSM or Red etc., to appreciate why you could earn up to £5,000 more per year with us. We believe nobody can offer you better value for money, earnings potential or job satisfaction. Below are just some of the reasons why we claim this.
