The Rules and Regulation

The Road Traffic Act 1988 (as amended) states that continued registration as an ADI is subject to the condition that ADIs will undergo a test of “continued ability and fitness to give instruction”, commonly known as a Standards Check (SC), as and when required by the Registrar.

The SC is no more than its name suggests: an opportunity for one of DVSA examiners to check that your instruction is up to the required standard by observing you while you conduct a normal lesson.

Our trainer has many years of experience and knowledge as a former DVSA ADI Enforcement Manager (ADI SE) also…..

• Area Operations Manager (AOM)
• ADI Transition Team Manager
• Timing Study Lead Manager
• Driver Training Assessment Manager (DTAM)
• Sector Manager
• Supervising Examiner (SE ADI)
• ADI Enforcement Manager to name a few roles…..

Many of you will know him from stakeholder meetings that he attended across the country or when taking you on the qualification Part 2/3 tests, old style check test or the Standards Check, he attended many meetings to make stakeholders aware of the big changes such as the car, SC, ADI test and ORDIT changes to name a few.

He has carried out Standards Checks or supervised them whilst the ADI supervising examiner was conducting the SC and accompanying it for quality control purposes to ensure the examiner was meeting the standards that DVSA has set. He was also an ADI trainer and trained many ADI examiners for the ADI, Standards Check and ORDIT inspections.

He was part of the ADI Transition Team and was involved in setting up the ADI enforcement team within DVSA when it was officially launched in 2018 and was heavily involved in what you see now as well as many other projects.

Benefits Of The Assessment !!!

• Can observe you train and analyse how you are putting the competencies into
• You will get used to training with someone in the back of your vehicle watching your techniques
• The client will also get used to having someone in the back. (many instructors have been failed because the client ‘wasn’t himself / herself’ – it’s human nature to feel pressured in a test situation even when it’s not your test!).

After the assessment has been carried out a ‘follow-up’ session can be booked (if needed) to help you to improve on any aspects. The sessions would be a one to one.

If you’re travelling a long way for the training or if it’s not possible to bring a pupil we can still show you how to make changes to your normal lesson structure by using role-play scenarios. At KWIK PASS we can show you practical solutions to help you put the competencies into practice and avoid the common pitfalls.

Here are some common reasons for failure:

• Not adapting the lesson plan, when appropriate, to help the pupil work towards their learning goals
• Not teaching the lesson in a style suited to the pupil’s learning style and current ability
• Not encouraging the pupil to analyse problems and take responsibility for their learning
• Not giving the pupil appropriate and timely feedback during the session
• Not giving enough feedback to help the pupil understand any potentially safety-critical incidents
