Updated driving instructor code of practice

DVSA published the updated driving instructor code of practice in September for you to read through ahead of it coming into force.

It sets out clear standards and behaviors that all driving instructors must follow, helping to protect the profession and give learner drivers a consistently high standard of instruction.

This part of the webinar is being run jointly with NASP to talk to you in more detail about the updated code. The session will cover:

• what’s changed in the updated code of practice and why
• what the code means for you in practice
• key areas including safeguarding and social media
  

The session will also be a chance for you to ask questions and we will give answers to the main questions we have received since the updated code was published in September.

Changes to ADI part 2 test

DVSA have been reviewing the ADI qualification journey and have identified opportunities to improve the ADI Part 2 test.

These improvements are designed to help ensure that the next generation of driving instructors can demonstrate the high standard of driving ability expected of the profession. While also providing greater clarity for both candidates and the trainers who support them.

They’d like to share the improvements ahead of their introduction next year and hear from the potential driving instructors (PDI) preparing for the test. As well as the trainers who play a vital role in helping them develop the expert driving skills and professional behaviours needed to succeed as driving instructors.

Colin Stewart, Assistant Chief Driving Examiner at DVSA, will be joining the session to talk through the changes, explain the thinking behind them, and answer any questions you may have.
