My driving lessons and i passed the Practical Test Portsmouth
Louise Barraclough Capper A very many thanks to 1st Top Gear Driving School Portsmouth for employing such proffessional personel. As a female learner driver who didn't neccessarily want to be instructed by a male, Tom came (and definately comes) highly reccomended. He made me feel at ease from the very first lesson. His sense of humour, calm and proffessional approach to instructing, got me through when i doubted if i would ever get there. Tom, thank you very much for everything you have done.

Train to be a Driving Instructor
Training to be a driving instructor in Portsmouth with
www.1sttopgear.co.ukTo become an ADI driving Instructor you must successfully complete a three part qualifying examination:
* a Theory test;
* a Practical test of your driving ability; and
* a Practical test of your ability to instruct
You must take and pass all three parts of the examination in this order and the whole examination must be completed within two years of passing the theory test. If you have not completed the examination within this time you must start again from the beginning and pass each part again. This period cannot be extended for any reason whatsoever. But you are allowed to take the test of ability to instruct after 2 years has passed if the application was made before the expiry date. If you pass that test you are deemed to have done so within the 2 years.
You are only allowed 3 attempts at each of the qualifying examinations. If you have not passed after 3 attempts you must wait until the end of your 2 - year period before you can re-sit the qualifying examination, starting with the theory test.
Find a good independent ADI trainer who will let you pay as you go, after passing part 2 you can apply for a trainee licence and teach for payment for 6 months whilst training for and passing part 3.
