We recommend home study as a cost effective way of managing your Theory and Hazard Perception Test preparation. During this time, we will provide you with any help you require to feel confident in your knowledge and ability to take this part of the test. We will provide you with a comprehensive training package which includes all the DSA recommended study materials plus our own training manual. We can for an additional fee provide you with a classroom Theory and Hazard Perception training session which lasts for one full day. Whether or not you opt for the classroom course, we are just a phone call or email away.

To become an Approved Driving Instructor in the UK you have to pass a three part qualifying exam. You must take each exam in the following order: Part One Test of Theory and Hazard Perception, Part Two Test of Driving Ability and Part Three Test of Instructional Ability. Before you get to this examination stage you must qualify as a suitable person to be entered onto the Register of Approved Driving Instructors. Any convictions you have had motoring and non-motoring will be taken into account when assessing your suitability to be entered onto the Register of Approved Driving Instructors. Prospective and Fully Qualified Approved Driving Instructors are now subject to CRB (Disclosure Scotland) checks in addition to the previous suitability checks made by the Driving Standards Agency. If you have any previous convictions it is best to bring them to the attention of the DSA Registrar at the time of application prior to payment and commencement of training. If you have previously been made bankrupt, this may affect your application. If your application to DSA has been refused you have a right of appeal.
