ADI Training Part 3

ADI test part 3: Instructional ability

The objective of the ADI part 3 is to demonstrate your competence when it comes to giving instruction and passing on knowledge to pupils.

The test is about an hour long and consists of giving a real lesson to a pupil, who you’ll bring on the day. Throughout the test, you’ll be marked on 17 areas of competence. These are grouped into three categories:
* Lesson planning
* Risk management
* Teaching and learning strategies


How do I book ADI part 3 instructional ability test?
In England, Scotland and Wales, you can book ADI part 3 test on GOV.UK, which costs £111.


What do I need to bring to the ADI part 3 test?

On the day of your ADI part 3 test, you’ll need to take your licence again. You also need to bring your ADI part 2 practical test pass certificate, and a face covering.
In addition, you provide the car and pupil. You’ll also need to ensure you have the right insurance in place. If you’re not sure, double-check with your insurance provider that the car is insured for the purpose of a driving test. 

ADI part 3 car requirements
There are numerous requirements that the car you use must meet. You can read a full list of criteria required of the car here, including specific vehicles you shouldn’t use. Some of the main rules are as follows:
* It should be taxed and roadworthy, with a valid MOT.
* The car must be a hatchback, saloon or estate car.
* It needs full-size back seats with working seatbelts.
* It needs a readily adjustable driver’s seat, with a head restraint.
* The car must display L-plates, or optional D-plates if you’re taking the test in Wales.

The car can be either manual or automatic. But bear in mind that if you pass in a car with an automatic transmission, you won’t be qualified to teach in a manual vehicle.
If your car doesn’t meet these criteria, or you don’t have adequate insurance in place, the test won’t continue and you’ll forfeit your fee. 


ADI part 3 test of instructional ability

In the ADI part 3 test, you’ll be asked to demonstrate your knowledge and ability through practical driving instruction. During the test, you’ll sit in the front passenger seat, and your pupil will drive. Your pupil can either be a learner or a full licence holder but cannot be a qualified ADI.
Your examiner will sit in the back. You can also bring your trainer or mentor, but they cannot participate in the lesson itself.
You’ll give the examiner an overview of the lesson plan, and then introduce them to the pupil. You should explain the purpose of the lesson to the pupil, and reassure them that it’s you whose being examined, not them. It’s good practice to ask the pupil if there’s anything specific they’d like to cover during the lesson.
From then on, conduct a lesson as you normally would. Bear in mind that risk management is a key part of what you’re being marked on. It’s of paramount importance that the lesson is conducted safely. Any directions you give should be clear and made in good time. You should at all stages be aware of your surroundings, and the actions of other road users.
At the end of the lesson, you’ll debrief the pupil for around five minutes. Then the examiner will give you your result, and any feedback from the test.
The examiner scores you from 0 to 3 on each of the competencies listed above. You’ll be scored out of a possible 51.

 

Your score will be graded as follows:
Total score Grade Description
0-30 Fail Your performance isn’t up to standard, and you won’t join the ADI register
31-42 Grade B You get to join the ADI register
43-51 Grade A You’ve shown a high standard of instruction, and you get to join the ADI register

 

Scoring less than 7 in the risk management category will cause you to fail. And, as with any driving test, you’ll fail instantly if the examiner must stop the lesson on account of you putting yourself or anyone else in danger.

 

ADI part 3 test results
If you pass, congratulate yourself – you’ve qualified to become a driving instructor! You can then apply for your first ADI badge.
You should do this within 12 months of passing the ADI part 3 test. Not doing so means you’ll have to pass all three tests again.
If you fail, it isn’t the end of the world, as you get two more attempts. It’s well worth taking the feedback your examiner gives you on board. This will stand you in better stead for the next attempt. Any resits must be booked within two years of passing the ADI part 1 test.
If you were a trainee driving instructor and chose the extra training option on your licence application, you’ll need to do five hours of additional training before retaking the test.
You’ll want to pass on your third (or hopefully second) attempt though. Failing a third time sets you back to square one, and you’ll have to pass all three tests again to qualify. In addition, you’ll have to wait two years from when you originally passed the ADI part 1 before you can retake it.
Are there any COVID-19 restrictions when booking an ADI test?
At the time of writing, driving tests have resumed in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
