If you are a registered Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), you will need to take a test of your ‘continued ability and fitness to give instruction’ during your period of registration.
These are commonly known as the Standards check, previously known as ‘check tests’.
The Supervising Examiner is there to help; he is not looking for the easiest way to remove your name from the ADI register.
A Standards check usually involves the examiner assessing your instructional ability by watching a lesson you give to a real pupil.
If you don’t have a pupil available, you may give instruction to someone who holds a full driving licence, but you will need to make your level of instruction right for their ability.
The Standards check is a chance for you to show your ability to instruct pupils and to get professional guidance on where you could improve.
As a registered Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), you may have to take a Standards check at any time during your period of registration
Although the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) Registrar may remove your name from the Register after one substandard Standards check, if you get below a grade B, you will usually have two more attempts to meet the required standard.
If you don’t reach an acceptable standard in those three consecutive Standards check, the ADI Registrar will start the process of removing you from the Register. Before your name can be re-entered onto the Register, you will have to retake – and pass – all the ADI qualifying examinations.
This course is designed for the ADI who is seriously looking to improve the quality of their tuition and ADI Standards Check grade.
