To become an ADI:
To become an ADI you must successfully complete a three part qualifying examination:
- a theory test;
- a practical test of your driving ability; and
- a practical test of your ability to instruct.
You must take and pass all three parts of the examination in this order and
the whole examination must be completed within two years of passing the
theory test. If you have not completed the examination within this time you
must start again form the beginning and pass each part again. This period
cannot be extended for any reason whatsoever. But you are allowed to take
the test of ability to instruct after 2 years has passed if the application
was made before the expiry date. If you pass that test you are deemed to
have done so within the 2 years.
You are only allowed 3 attempts at each of the qualifying examinations. If
you have not passed after 3 attempts you must wait until the end of your 2 -
year period before you can re-sit the qualifying examination, starting with
the theory test.
The process begins by making an application to take the ADI theory test
which is the first part of the 3 part qualifying examination.
