Fully Qualified ADIs must take further regular tests, known as check tests. During a "live" driving lesson an ADI is examined by a Senior Examiner employed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).
Check tests are supposed to maintain the quality of driving instruction.
The quality is defined by the Driving Standards Agency.
At the end of a check test an ADI is graded according to ability. An Examiner will use his or her skill to decide the grade for the Instructor.!
Grade 4 Competent.
Grade 5 Good.
Grade 6 A very high standard.
What do the Grades mean?
Grade 4 "A competent overall performance with some minor deficiencies in instructional technique."
Grade 5 "A good overall performance with some minor weaknesses in instructional technique."
Grade 6 "Overall performance to a very high standard with no significant instructional weaknesses."
Less than 10% of all ADIs are Grade 6.
There are about 27,000 ADIs on the ADI register.
Not all ADIs teach full time.
Some have full time jobs and teach to supplement their income, others are retired and teach to supplement their pension.
Many teach full time.
Some ADIs specialise in driver instructor training.
