Thinking of Becoming A Driving Instructor?
In todays fast-moving society, it is essential and people are widely expected to be able to travel independently so the importance of learning to drive cannot be ignored. With the number of lessons taken by each learner in order to pass the driving test is increasing year on year, the demand for professionally trained driving instructors is huge. The driving test itself is becoming ever more complex and demanding and as road conditions become busier new instructors will witness a growing demand in the number of driving lessons required by their students. Last year there were 1.9 millon tests taken and the growth is around 10% year on year.
Some information gained from the DSA that will give you an example of the standards you will have to comply with are:
- The required pass rate for a PDI taking the Part 1 - Theory test is 50%
- The required pass rate for a PDI taking the Part 2 - Driving Ability test is 45%
- The required pass rate for a PDI taking the Part 2 - Instructional Ability test is 28%
As you can see to get through the most stringent test you must have an excellent instructor and be willing to put the time in to practice and memorise the theory.
