You have to pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor exam, to become eligible to teach driving in the UK. It’s a three-part exam. The first part deals with hazard perception and it’ a multiple choice exam. The first part of the test is similar to the ones that learner drivers take but it is tougher. The part two of the test is where you take a practical driving test similar to the one that those seeking driving license take but it is much tougher. The third part of the test is designed to test you to reveal if you can test and guide. The student is assessed at this stage, so you must demonstrate your ability to demonstrate lesson planning, risk management and teaching and learning strategies.
