​

​What the difference?

​

In a nutshell the old style part 3 test is no longer fit for purpose - It is a Pass or Fail type test and even if the candidate clearly shows that they can teach and understands what they are doing and offers client centred learning they must pass the core competencies or they will not pass these were:-

​

  • Identify the fault

  • Analysis the fault

  • Remedy the fault 

​

Not everyone training to become an ADI is going to be teaching learner drivers (HGV - Bus - Blue Lights etc) so the test meant they HAD to learn to teach an L driver or would not be successful. The exam was delivered by the Examiner who would "Role Play" a L pupil or a FLH and the candidate had no control or choice over HOW to teach. If you sit a part 3 before 2nd October you will still do an "old style" part 3 where the Examiner chooses the style of pupil - the subject - the route and the faults within that PST.

​

What's going to change with the new test? 

​

        The current part 3 is an Assessment-based exam, which offers a more comprehensive evaluation compared

         to a simple pass or fail system. This exam consists of three main competencies and 17 sub-competencies,

         with a total possible score of 51. To pass, you must achieve a score of 31 or higher. In addition, scoring 8 or                   more in the Risk Assessment section is crucial for success.

         To excel in this exam, you must demonstrate an understanding of the National Standards and the GDE Matrix.

        It is essential to prove that learning has taken place, that it was done safely, and that it provided value for   

        money.Get ready to showcase your skills and knowledge in this exciting new assessment!

​​

The new competencies are :-

 

  • Lesson Planning

  • Risk Assessment

  • Teaching and learning strategies 

 

Get ready to exceed expectations by meeting the goals and needs of your student! Allow the student to take charge of the lesson and choose how they want to learn, gaining agreement every step of the way. It's like preparing for the Standards Check after you pass with flying colors! Don't forget to bring a pupil along for the ride - whether they're a learner driver, full license holder, or even a foreign driver. As long as you're road legal with a valid license and insurance, you're good to go. Remember to bring either a Trainee Licence or a driving license for identification. Let's hit the road and make learning fun and engaging!.  You can choose:-

​

  • WHERE you sit the test (Local TC to you)

  • WHAT route to use 

  • WHEN you sit the test 

  • WHO you bring to the test 

  • WHAT subject/subjects you are teaching

  • HOW you want to teach

  • HOW the candidate wants to learn
