Understanding the Crayford driver training Journey

You are required to pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor exam before you can be a driving tutor in the UK. The exam is done in 3 parts. The first part is a multiple choice exam which covers hazard perception. The first part of the test is similar to the ones that learner drivers take 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 third part of the test assesses your ability to actually coach and tutor. The examiner assesses the student at this stage, and you get to demonstrate  your ability to demonstrate lesson planning, risk management and teaching and learning strategies.   It’s a comprehensive and difficult exam, as should be expected.

The reason the exam is so thorough is to ensure that you are ready to take up the task of teaching smart and safe drivers so that our roads can be safe.
