TRAINING
Our training curriculum is designed to prepare for each of the qualifying examinations and our fees include all your study aids and use of training vehicle if required. You will receive the highest standard of training needed to pass your tests. We want you to succeed!
Part 1
The Part 1 examination will consist of 100 multiple choice questions, these are split into 4 categories, and an overall pass mark of 85% is required to pass, at the same time you will be expected to pass a Hazard Perception Test. This will give you the chance to achieve a score of 75 but only 57 are needed to pass this element at present. You need to pass both parts to take your Part 2 test. We hold theory study classes in our computer equipped classroom facilities, you will be required to attend at least 7 classes out of 12. You will also be provided with course work to study at home. Our very experienced Training Instructors will support you throughout your training.
Part 2
The Part 2 required extremely high standard of driving to pass the test. Duration of this test is approximately 1 hour, covering all types of road and traffic conditions, including the motorway and dual carriageways. You must drive to an extremely high standard, only six minor faults are allowed during the test. You must pass this test before being allowed to take Part 3. This driving test is vastly different from the test you took to get your first full license.
Make no mistake: this is not the driving test you took years ago! This is a high standard driving test, the DVSA rightly demands and expects the best.
Part 2 Consists up to 20 hours driving tuition; this is usually complete in two hourly sessions with your own personal training instructor. Our highly qualified instructors will assess you on all types of roads including teaching and demonstrating each manoeuvre. These include:
• Emergency Stop
• Turn in the road
• Reverse to the left
• Reverse to the right
• Reverse parking
• You may need to demonstrate your ability to reverse into an empty parking bay
When you have passed this test, you can then decide on a Probationary Driving Instructors license (PDI) which requires 40 hours of training for part 3 to obtain the trainee licence and additional 20 hours training in first 3 months of this license.
The PDI license is valid for 6 months and allows you to gain valuable teaching experience before taking Part 3 or you can bypass the PDI license and apply for Part 3 immediately.
Part 3
Part 3 teaches you the skills to instruct unskilled, semi-skilled and fully skilled pupils. Knowledge gained for Part 1 and Part 2 is invaluable for your Part 3, yes! Fully skilled pupils still need training! They cannot be an ADI or someone who is preparing to take the ADI part 3 test. This test needs full and adequate training from top qualified ORDIT Instructors. You must be ready and prepared!
The Part 3 test lasts for about 1 hour; A DVSA examiner will watch you give a client-centred driving lesson to one of your pupils. For you to successfully do this we will provide you full and adequate training, allowing you to deliver this at the highest standards.
The examiner will look for evidence that you meet the national standard for driver and rider training. National standard for driving cars and light vans (category B) - Guidance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Training for Part 3 will be approximately 20 sessions of 2 hours duration for each session. Part 3 training must be signed off before the DVSA will accept you for the Part 3 test. This is the most challenging test, and the candidates must be trained properly!
You will share your training experience with other trainee instructors. WHY? Because training at such high levels gives you support not only from your trainer but from your colleagues learning with you.
