If you are a Trainer, thinking of becoming a Trainer or are currently training to become an ADI, there is some important information about changes to the Part 3 brining it more in line with the Standards Check. Don't panic though as it is not happening immediately and we will have videos ready on the website for when this comes into effect. Below is the information in the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Business Plan 2016 - 2017. To access the full document please click on the button below.
'2.2.6 Approved driving instructor (ADI)
We’ll continue to regulate approved driving instructors who give paid car driver training, to make sure minimum standards are met and the overall integrity of the industry is maintained.
In 2016 to 2017, we’ll:
replace the existing ADI part 3 with the standards check to improve the ADI qualification process and align it with the post qualification assessment
work with key ADI stakeholders to agree proposed indicators for an earned recognition scheme for ADIs
consider options for introducing an on-line booking system for the ADI standards checks so ADIs can book their own standards checks at a time that’s convenient for them
work with DfT to move deregulation on to let fully qualified ADI’s with dual controlled cars offer lessons on motorways to learner drivers
make changes to regulations so that ADIs can resign voluntarily from the register and allow those who've lapsed voluntarily to re-join the register by successfully completing a standards check rather than requalifying' |
