More about the Gillingham driver training from Smart Drive

To become a driving instructor in the UK, you will need to pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor examination.  1) The exam is divided into three parts. The first part deals with hazard perception and it’ a multiple choice exam. The part one of the test is simply a more difficult version of the driver license test. The part two of the test is a tougher practical driving test compared to the one that those applying for a driving license take. The third part of the test is designed to test you to reveal if you can test and guide. 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.
