Here are just some of the things you’ll learn about on my training course: Some of the topics listed below won’t be done in part 3 but it’s essential you can do them for when you start teaching. Many trainers and schools focus so much on getting you through the test that they forget to teach you important things you’ll need to know when you start working as a driving instructor. I’m going to teach you how to be a successful driving instructor. I’m not just going to teach you how to pass the part 3 exam. It’s not all bad though and you can pass, just don’t expect it to be easy and be sure to take plenty of good quality training. If it really goes badly then you will collapse, the pupil goes into meltdown and the members of the public will be shouting at you – all at once! I have known tests go like that. I heard of a pupil that was on a standards check and got so stressed that they stopped the car and marched off, leaving the door open and the instructor and examiner just sitting there! Pupils that can normally drive well suddenly start doing everything wrong and your whole lesson plan goes flying out of the window and sailing down the river! With experience, you can handle this but it’s tough when you’re new. You’ll see this a lot on driving tests but it’s the same in part 3. Then add the fact that learners can go into a meltdown when an examiner is sitting in the car. Your entire future, house and financial security depend on this test. See all my standards check videos (this page has everything!)Īs well as what’s listed above, add the pressure of knowing that you’ve spent thousands of pounds getting to this point.To help increase your chances of passing I’ve spent hours making many free part 3 videos. It’s not unusual to take at least 100 hours of tuition, spend hundreds of hours practising as a trainee and still fail your part 3. The reality is that 40 hours is nowhere near enough to be teaching. The DVSA set a minimum of 40 hours of training required (signed off by an ADI) before they’ll consider you for a trainee licence. I failed my first attempt and only just scraped through with the lowest grade on my second attempt. Those 800 hours came from working as a trainee instructor for roughly 6 hours a day, 6 days a week for 6 months. When I took my part 3 test I had done 60 hours with my trainer, spent 40 hours watching videos and had done over 800 hours of lessons with real learners. This is where you find out that becoming a driving instructor isn’t easy! The main reason people fail is that it’s very difficult to teach people to drive up to the standard required by the DVSA. See official DVSA ADI part 3 pass figures here. The part 3 test is very hard and the pass rate for it in Birmingham in 2020 was 27.9%.
