Frequently asked questions

What happens at a DVSA standards check and what do they look at?
A DVSA standards check is an observed lesson assessed by a supervising examiner who grades your teaching competence across three categories: lesson planning, risk management, and teaching and learning strategies. A poor grade can mean a retraining requirement or, at Grade 1, removal from the ADI register.
What records must an ADI keep for pupils and lessons?
The DVSA does not prescribe a single mandatory format for pupil records, but ADIs must be able to demonstrate to a supervising examiner that teaching is tailored to each pupil, which in practice requires a retrievable record of hours, progress, and lesson content.
How do I prepare for an ADI standards check?
The best preparation for a DVSA standards check is a real lesson delivered to a real pupil at their appropriate level, supported by a documented lesson plan that shows you have assessed where the pupil is and designed the session around their needs.
Do driving instructors need a DBS check and how often must it be renewed?
Approved Driving Instructors are subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check as part of ADI registration, and the DVSA can require instructors to obtain a new DBS certificate if concerns arise, though there is no single fixed renewal interval prescribed for all ADIs.
What are the requirements for pupil progress records for driving instruction?
The DVSA recommended syllabus and the Driver's Record booklet provide the framework for pupil progress, and while no single regulation mandates a specific file format, a structured progress record is the practical evidence an instructor needs to show tailored teaching at a standards check.
How do I become an Approved Driving Instructor in the UK?
To become an ADI in England, Scotland, or Wales you must pass three DVSA qualifying tests (theory, hazard perception and driving ability, then instructional ability), hold a valid driving licence with at least three years of clean driving history, and obtain an enhanced DBS check. The process is administered by the DVSA ADI Register.
