We've got jobs - Have you got what it takes?
Because it’s one of the best jobs in Manchester!

Here at Astra Driving School, we have been lucky enough to help thousands of learners pass their driving tests, and the sense of satisfaction you get when one of your pupils drives away from the nest is second to none.

It’s the perfect vocation for someone looking for a change of career, and while there are no formal qualifications needed to become an ADI, it’s particularly well suited to those with engaging or calm personalities.

Driving instructors are always in demand, and while it’s certainly challenging at times, it can be a secure profession for life. You could even choose to specialise in one particular area, ie, fleet training, advanced driving courses, or even ultimately become a driving instructor trainer yourself.

There are 3 sections to the ADI Test in total, each with a different purpose, and all of which we will thoroughly prepare you for.

ADI Test 1 is similar to the general theory test, but is a lot more in depth, entirely computer based and usually takes between 90 minutes and 2 hours to complete.

The first part of it includes 100 multiple choice questions, of which you’ll need to get 85% correct. Part 2 is a hazard perception test with 75 scenarios, and you’ll have to answer 57 (or 76%) of them correctly to pass.

ADI Test 2 is like a more stringent version of the regular driving test. A mere 6 driver faults are allowed, and of course, any major faults result in an instant fail.

You can expect to be driving around everything from Manchester’s motorway network to narrow country lanes and busy city centre junctions on this test, while you’ll also be assessed for your ability at hill starts and asked a series of vehicle safety questions.

What happens during the test
A Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) examiner will watch you giving a client-centred driving lesson to one of your pupils for about 45 minutes.

At the start of the lesson, discuss the goals for the lesson and risk management with your pupil. This should take no more than 3 minutes.

Your pupil must drive for about 40 minutes of the lesson.

You cannot spend the whole lesson teaching a manoeuvre, but you can include a short recap of one you’ve taught in a previous lesson.

If you need to give your pupil immediate feedback, you are allowed to stop safely during the lesson.

At the end of the lesson, give your pupil no more than 3 minutes to reflect on their performance.

The examiner will look for evidence that you meet the national standard for driver and rider training.

What you’ll be marked on
You’ll be marked on 17 areas of competence that are grouped into 3 categories:

lesson planning
risk management
teaching and learning strategies
The 17 areas of competence are listed in the ADI part 3 test report form, which the examiner will fill in at the end of your test.

You’ll get a score from 0 to 3 for each of the 17 competencies, which are added up to work out if you’ve passed the test, and what your grade will be.
