Driving Instructor Test

The theory test (part 1)

This exam consists of two parts; you have to pass both parts at the same time to progress to the next stage.

The first part is a multiple choice of 100 questions; the second part consists of 14 video clips each lasting 1 minute. You gain marks by identifying the developing hazards.

The driving test (part 2)

Lasts about 1 hour and test your driving skill to a very high standard. The test will cover many types of driving skills e.g. motorway, urban, rural, reversing etc.

The test of instructional ability (part 3)

The test last 1 hour, in that time you have to give practical driving instruction to a DSA examiner. He or she will start by acting the part of a learner driver who has little or no experience and then a driver who is nearly test standard, just failed a test or a full licence holder. You'll need to pass both Pre Set Tests at the same time.
