Standards Check Training

This course will help you to prepare for the ADI Standards Check, a test that has to be taken by all ADIs periodically to ensure that their tuition skills remain at a high standard.

The ADI Standards Check lasts for approximately 45 minutes and assesses your ability to teach pupils. Assessment of your teaching skills falls into three categories – Lesson Planning, Risk Management, and Teaching and Learning Skills.

Reasons to do this course

Nervous/lacking confidence about taking the test?
Just qualified as an ADI?
Expecting your first Standards Check?
Taken a Standards Check and got a Grade B and now aspiring for higher?
Failed a Standards Check?
Third and final attempt? At risk of failing?

All training will be carried out on a one-to-one client-centred basis, and will include a combination of:

In-car training
Observation
Understanding the Standards Check form (with an emphasis on Risk Management)
Understanding what the DVSA examiners are looking for

Having struggled with my training and thinking that I had absolutely no chance of passing my Part 3 I was lucky enough to meet Emily. All of a sudden everything started to make sense and I passed to become an ADI. I genuinely don’t think I would have had a chance without Emily’s training and for that I will be forever appreciative. Not only is Emily a superb trainer but as importantly as that, she is a lovely person who is always available to answer your queries. 10/10 isn’t enough!

I highly recommend Emily as a driving instructor trainer. After completing my basic training with a large company, I was left feeling confused and aware that I was missing a lot of key information around the core competencies, particularly for the Part 3. Emily provided me with in-depth, structured training and took the time to really explore and understand my individual areas for development. She explained concepts clearly and in a way that made sense. As a result, I went into my Part 3 feeling well prepared and I passed first time. Emily has continued to support me as a newly qualified ADI. After my observation lessons with Emily, I always feel motivated to develop further with a clear plan on how to achieve my goals. She is kind, approachable, very knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about teaching to a high standard
- Helen, ADI

I have had the privilege of having Emily’s professional help in my quest to become the best driving instructor I can be. She has sat in on my lessons and I have attended in person and online workshops with her. Her feedback when observing my lessons has always been delivered clearly, concisely and with kindness. She provides constructive comments along with praise on what I’ve managed well. I consider she is fair, honest, thorough and professional. It’s very clear that her standards are high and she genuinely cares about helping you reach them in your career in driving instruction. Her delivery of workshops both in person and online is exceptional. She has in-depth knowledge and she makes the interactive learning experience not only rewarding but enjoyable. I always come away from time with Emily feeling like I’ve learnt something valuable. Thank you Emily!”

- Andy, ADI

I can’t thank Em enough for the support, knowledge and confidence she gave me throughout my training to become an ADI. Her knowledge is invaluable and I don’t think I would have got through the Part 3 without her guidance. I would 100% recommend her if you are looking to become an ADI.
