Choosing Your Instructor

If you are paying someone to teach you to drive, they must be registered with the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA). Only Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) can charge money for teaching you to drive.

How to confirm that an ADI is registered

Ask to see their licence which they should carry at all times. In the case of ADIs and Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs) (who will be issued with a trainee licence to instruct under the supervision of an ADI), their licence may be displayed on the windscreen of their car.

ADI qualifying process

DVA is responsible for maintaining and checking the standards of all ADIs . In order to qualify, ADIs must:

Have held a full driving licence for at least four years

Pass a much tougher theory test than the one learner drivers take

Pass a strict driving test

Pass a test of their teaching ability

Be of good character

Reach and keep up a high standard of instruction

The standard of tuition given by the ADI  is regularly checked by a supervising examiner from the DVA.
