4. Be a fit and proper person to have your name entered on the register of approved instructors, all convictions will be taken into consideration
5. Be able to pass all 3 examinations set by the Driving Standards Agency.
The first exam is a theory and hazard perception test, this is a touch screen multiple choice exam of 100 questions and an on screen hazard perception test. The pass mark is 85% for the questions and 57 out of 72 marks on hazard test.
The second examination is a driving test of about 1 hour and is of an advanced nature. The test routes will cover a wide range of roads including motorways if available. You would be expected to drive to a high standard, consistent with that of an experienced driver.
The third and final exam is a test of instructional ability. You would be asked to give two different lessons to a specially trained examiner acting the part of a learner driver at different stages.
Our training course will cover all of the above and more, you will be more than prepared for any of the examinations. We offer a free information pack and a free assessment. If you would like to learn more please contact our office to arrange a no obligation assessment or email for an information pack.
If you have a part 2 or 3 exam booked and don't feel confident we can offer a mock test/assessment. This will include feedback at the end of the test and a full written report, with advice and guidance on anything requiring improvement.
DONT' TAKE CHANCES YOU ONLY HAVE 3 ATTEMPTS AT PART 2 OR PART 3 EXAMINATION.
