What does becoming a driving instructor consist of?
Part 1 - Theory and Hazard Percetption Test
The Theory Test is slightly different to the one you probably passed on the way to getting your driving licence.
There are 25 questions in each of these 4 categories:
  • road procedure
  • traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians and mechanical knowledge
  • driving test, disabilities, and the law
  • publications and instructional techniques​ ​
Hazard Perception Test
You will watch 14 video clips which will
  • feature everyday road scenes
  • contain at least one ‘developing hazard’ - but one of the clips features 2 developing hazards
You get points for spotting the developing hazards as soon as they start to happen.
Part 2 - Driving Ability
During your driving ability test you’ll have to show the examiner all of the following:
  • expert handling of the controls
  • use of correct road procedure
  • anticipation of the actions of other road users and then taking appropriate action
  • sound judgement of distance, speed and timing
  • consideration for the convenience and safety of other road users
  • driving in an environmentally-friendly manner
You’ll drive in varying road and traffic conditions, including motorways or dual carriageways where possible.
You might also be asked to carry out an emergency stop.
Reversing your vehicle
The examiner will ask you to do 2 of the following exercises:
  • parallel park at the side of the road
  • reverse into a parking bay and drive out
  • drive into a parking bay and reverse out
  • pull up on the right-hand side of the road, reverse for around 2 car lengths, and rejoin the traffic
Independent driving
You’ll have to drive for about 20 minutes by following either:
  • directions from a sat nav
  • traffic signs
Part 3 - Instructional Ability
During this test a DVSA examiner will watch you give a driving lesson lasting about an hour to one of your pupils and you will be marked on 17 areas of competence that are grouped into 3 categories:
  • lesson planning
  • risk management
  • teaching and learning strategies
