SCOTT'S STORY
Completing the final stage of the ADI qualification.
Scott, from Rhos-on-Sea, worked with Marcus as he developed the instructional skills needed to become an Approved Driving Instructor.
ADI Part 3 is very different from simply demonstrating a good standard of driving. The test looks at how effectively an instructor can plan a lesson, manage risk and help a real pupil learn and make progress.
Scott's training focused on bringing those different areas together so that the lesson remained safe, useful and centred around the needs of the pupil.
In July 2024, Scott successfully passed his ADI Part 3 in Rhyl, completing the final qualifying test required to become a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor.
THE JOURNEY
Developing the skills needed for Part 3.
Part 3 preparation is about much more than preparing for one test. The aim is to develop the skills needed to deliver useful, pupil-centred lessons after qualification too.
PUPIL-CENTRED
Putting the learner at the centre
Training focused on recognising what the pupil needed rather than simply following a fixed lesson plan, allowing the lesson to develop around their ability, understanding and progress.
PART 3 PREPARATION
Bringing the 17 competencies together
As Part 3 approached, Scott worked on bringing lesson planning, risk management and teaching and learning strategies together naturally during a real driving lesson.

NORTH WALES ADI TRAINING
From Rhos-on-Sea to a Part 3 pass in Rhyl.
Scott's journey was a local North Wales success, beginning from his home area of Rhos-on-Sea and finishing with a successful Part 3 result at Rhyl.
Training for Part 3 involves learning how to respond to real pupils and real situations rather than trying to reproduce a rehearsed lesson for the examiner.
The aim throughout Scott's preparation was to develop skills that would continue to be useful long after the test itself was over.
THE FINAL STAGE
What does passing ADI Part 3 mean?
ADI Part 3 is the instructional ability test and the final qualifying test required to become an Approved Driving Instructor.
A DVSA examiner observes a real driving lesson and assesses the instructor across 17 competencies covering lesson planning, risk management and teaching and learning strategies.
