Understanding the role of an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)

Posted on July 30th, 2008 by admin, under Driving Instructor, Driving Tips.

Approved Driving Instructors are professionally qualified to give advice and have the correct knowledge regarding driving procedures and driving test requirements. They have received Driving Instructor training in order to teach driving skills to learner drivers and have received tuition relating to the driving test. When you become a Driving Instructor you will be trained to teach driving skills in a structured manner to suit differing abilities.

Formal tuition can only be given by a trainee Instructor, or a qualified Driving Standards Agency, Approved Driving Instructor (DSA ADI), who can also help structure the private practice.

Many learner drivers only have driving lessons for one or two hours per week and their driving experience is limited to driving at the same time of day and over the same roads. Accompanying a learner driver is a good way of helping your friends or relatives become safe drivers. It’s a team effort involving you, the learner driver and the Driving Instructor.

Working together is the best way of ensuring everyone’s aim of safe driving for life.
