Understanding the Margate 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 has 3 segments. The first part tests your hazard perception via a multiple choice questions. This part of the test is a tougher version of the one new drivers take to get their license. Part two of the test is a practical driving test that is also similar to the one that those seeking their driving license take, but this one is tougher. Part three of the exam tests your ability to instruct and coach. The student is assessed at this stage, so you must 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.

You will be playing a huge part in shaping drivers of the future and ensuring that our roads are safe so the exam is designed to test how competent you are.
