The ADI standards Check is a legal requirement for all ADI’s. You must take at least one Standards Check in every four-year period of registration as an ADI. You will be assessed on your delivery of instruction to the pupil based on the criteria set out in the Standards Check form SCI and the National Standard for Driver Training. The National Standard sets out the skills, knowledge and understanding you need to be an effective driver trainer. The Standards Check assesses how well you meet the Standard. The aim of the Standards Check is to allow the DVSA to assess an ADI’s ability to instruct and to assess whether their instruction helps a person to learn in the most effective way. The Standards Check is conducted with a DVSA examiner observing the ADI delivering a normal one-hour lesson. We can familiarise you with the assessment check form SC1 and areas being assessed and consider whether the instructional techniques you use will allow you to meet and demonstrate the competences.
