What the Smart Drive driver training programme in Ferndown entails

To be legally permitted to tutor anyone on how to drive in the UK, you have to pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor exam. The exam is in 3 parts. Part one of the test is a multiple choice question that tests your hazard perception ability. The part one of the test is like the one designed for those seeking their driving license, but it is tougher. The part two of the exam involves a more difficult version of the one that those seeking their driver license have to pass. The part three of the test is where you get to prove that you can actually teach and coach. Here, the examiner assesses the student after you have demonstrated your ability to demonstrate lesson planning, risk management and teaching and learning strategies. The exam is challenging, as you would expect.

Ensuring the safety of our roads will be part of your responsibility because you will be training future drivers. That is why the exam is tough and comprehensive.
