Beware Of Trainee Driving Instructors
Some driving schools do employ trainee instructors so should you only use a fully qualified driving instructor?
In order to get a pink badge the trainee instructor has to pass parts 1 & 2 (a driving theory test, multiple choice test plus hazard perception video test and an advanced ADI driving test which is of a much higher standard than the test you will take) of the DSA Driving Instructor examination and have done at least 40 hours ADI training as well. Then they must do a further 20 hours training shortly after the badge is issued. Part 3 of the exam is a practical test that tests the trainee’s instructional ability. These are the facts. The choice is yours.
You should also make sure that your driving instructor has the legal amount of insurance. All instructors require specialized instructor insurance - Class C hire and reward. If an instructor does not have this level of insurance then in the event of accident or injury, you the learner driver will not be covered.
