THE QUALIFYING PROCESS

To qualify as a driving instructor you must pass a three part exam. This will consist of a written exam (with hazard perception test) An advanced driving test and an instructional ability test.  All parts of the qualifying exam must be completed in this order.

 

Part 1 - Written Exam and Hazard Perception

This is the first part of your training programme and the test involves a paper of 100 multi choice questions based on various motoring matters, the pass mark is 80% . There is also a Hazard Perception test very similar to that of a standard learner driver, however the pass mark for a potential driving instructor is naturally much higher !! You are shown 15 video clips and will are marked on how quickly you can spot the potential hazard .

All publications and cd roms are provided with excellent back up support..

 

Part 2 - Driving Ability 

When you have successfully passed your part 1 exam the next part of the qualifying process is your driving test.  Please be aware that this is not just a difficult Learner test ! It is an advanced driving test and a very high standard of driving is expected. The test will last for 1 hour and will cover driving on a variety of roads dealing with different traffic situations in an expert fashion. You will also have to do 5 set reversing exercises and a controlled emergency stop.

You will be given top quality practical tuition with your Buzz training tutor to get your driving up to the standard required. Because this driving test is of a specialist nature and not a normal standard driving test. There are selected test centres that are used and not necessarily your local driving test centre.

 

Part 3 - Teaching Ability

This is the final part of the qualifying exam to become a driving instructor and is the most difficult to pass. The test lasts for one hour and you will be expected to teach with a live pupil on a subject of your choice. The examiner will observe in the rear of the vehicle and record accurately on your performance ensuring that you are competent on all aspects of driver training.

You will be provided with your unique Buzz training manual and given approx (subject to ability) 12-18 hours training to reach the standard required to pass this searching exam. Training is provided locally in your area and you can opt to do your training intensively if you want to qualify quickly.

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS

Will I have to give up work while I am training ?

No definitely not, the training courses are tailored around you so that it fits in well with your life, remember the training for part 1 is mainly home study and part 2 is normally delivered in blocks of 2 to 4 hours unless of course you opt to do the course on an intensive basis.

What vehicle do I use for training ?

Unless special requests are made you will normally use Buzz Driving school vehicles for your training , however you may wish to use your own vehilce at your request. Remember that the part 2 training will involve you driving and practising certain elements of your driving as instructed by your trainer.  It is not a legal requirement for you to attempt the part 3 exam (instructional ability) in a dual controlled car, but the car must be insured for a designated pupil to drive for the duration of the test.

 

 

How long does it take to qualify ?

This can depend on driving test availbilty and also how quickly you want to qualify. As a minimum you should allow a period of 3 months from initial application to taking your 1st attemt at the part 3 exam.

There is also the option to appply for a Trainee licence once you have completed your Parts 1-2 and completed 25 hrs of training on the part 3 syllabus.
