subject: How to find a good driving instructor [print this page] Please Remember:- A driving instructor must have their name entered on the Register held by the Driving Standards Agency. They must display a green ADI identification certificate like the one below (or a red one if the instructor is a trainee).
A driving instructor must pass a searching three-part examination to qualify, and they have to reach and maintain the high standards required by the Driving Standards Agency
The standard of instruction of all ADIs is regularly checked by DSA. This is done by a DSA Supervising Examiner sitting in on a live lesson. The instructor is then graded:
grade 4 is competent
grade 5 is good
grade 6 is a very high standard.
Ask any potential instructor for their grade before embarking on a course of lessons.
