TRAINING
Course Length
Your Course starts the day you enrol with us and commences with an Induction Session, at which time we will plan your studies and tailor the course to meet your requirements. This will take into account the availability of the Driving Standards Agency Tests.
To become a fully qualified Driving Instructor can take as little as 20-26 weeks. There is also an option to work as a Trainee Driving Instructor after Passing Parts 1 and 2 (by approximately 14 weeks). These are minimum times; you may prefer to learn at your leisure. From the date of passing the Part One Test you have up to 2 years to pass The Part Three Test.
DSA Examinations & The Driving Instructor College Training
The qualifying examination is in three parts:
Part 1 The Theory Test
Part 2 The Driving Technique Test
Part 3 The Instructional Ability Test
The Driving Instructor College’s DSA recommended Instructor Training Course covers the entire syllabus preparing you for each examination. However, the skills and knowledge required for each part are also relevant throughout the course. As you train for each part you are also being prepared for the next.
