Driving Instructor Examinations

In order to become a driving instructor there are three rigorous ADI tests which applicants are put through.

Our driving instructor training course is designed to provide you with all of the knowledge and materials you need to help you pass these tests.

ADI Test Part 1:

The first test within your ADI training is split into two parts - the theory test and a hazard perception test.

The theory test consists of 100 multiple choice questions, within the test there are four bands which each require a pass mark of 80%. You have 1½ hours to complete the test and need an overall pass mark of 85% for this part of the test.

The hazard perception test consists of 14 video clips and requires a pass mark of 57 out of a possible 75. You are given a further 20 minutes to complete the hazard perception test.

The cost to sit both parts of the test is £81 and can be taken as many times as necessary. The training No2Gears provide covers both the theory and hazard perception sections of the ADI tests via online training and reading materials.

Part 1 cost - £81

ADI Test Part 2:

The second test is a driving and eyesight test which is conducted by a Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency Supervising Examiner and lasts approximately one hour. You will be required to demonstrate your ability to drive and manoeuvre the car safely and under control. To pass this test you must not commit more than six minor or one serious fault.

The cost of this test is £111 and can be taken up to three times. No2Gears offer tailored training packages for part two of your ADI test, designed to work around any other commitments. For this part we will use our in-car recording system so that you can review your lessons at home.

The cost of this test is £111 and can be taken up to three times. Again, our flexible ADI training is designed to fit around your other work commitments and our in-car recording system will mean you can review your training from the comfort of your own home.
