What to Expect from our driver training in York

You have to pass the DVSA Approved Driving Instructor exam to be legally permitted to be a driving tutor in the UK. It’s a three-part exam. The first part tests your hazard perception via a multiple choice questions. The first part of the test is similar to the ones that learner drivers take but it is tougher. The part two is a practical driving test that is tougher than the one students take to earn their driving license. 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.   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.
