Taking the Driving Instructor Part Two Driving Test

Taking the Driving Test

This is the Practical Test which measures the skills of the candidate in the car, on the road. Candidates should drive in a confident and safe manner in a wide variety of road conditions. Six manoeuvres will be completed demonstrating good driving skills.

Passing the test

A maximum of six minor faults and no major faults is permitted in order to pass the Test.

There is a limit to the number of times this Test may be taken within two years.

Three fails of the Part 2 Test within two years result in a candidate being required to wait until those two years are up before undertaking the Part 2 Test again to become a Driving Instructor. Should such an unlikely event occur then Freetrain candidates are invited to take the Part 2 course again at no cost to themselves.

Failing the eyesight test will result in the loss of one of the three attempts so we will make sure well beforehand that you are able to meet the eyesight requirements.

Whats Next?

Once you have successfully completed the Driving Ability Test you can move on to the next stage of becoming a Qualified Driving Instructor which is the Instructors Test
