Approved driving instructor (ADI) standards check
Overview
The approved driving instructor (ADI) standards check assesses your ability to teach pupils.
You’ll get a letter from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) when you need to book your ADI standards check.
You have to take a standards check even if you do not have a car or are not working as an ADI.
You can be removed from the ADI register if you do not book or go to your standards check.
You can only take standards checks in English or Welsh.
There are different rules for taking a standards check in Northern Ireland.
When you’ll be asked to have a standards check
You usually have an ADI standards check every 4 years.
You might be asked to book a standards check based on your pupils’ driving test results.
