So what do I need to do?
So far, so good. However, you cannot simply start practicing before covering the theoretical part first. There are THREE tests that you must cover in order to become a fully certified driving instructor, as follows:
Test Number One: Multiple Choice Theory Test and Hazard Perception Test
Consider this as your first step of the journey to become a driving instructor. The first part of the test is similar to the one you took to pass your driving test in the past, only with more questions added. It is a computer based, multiple choice theory test comprised of 100 questions to assess your knowledge and skills. In order to pass the test you must answer correctly at least 85 out of 100 questions.
The second part of the test is comprised of hazard perception questions to assess your attitudes and perceptions toward risk. It is again, computer based test, where a 14 videos will be shown to you. The pass benchmark is 57 out of 100.
Bear in mind, you need to “pass” both parts of the test in order to “pass” the test overall. Failing at one part of the test will result in failing the whole “Number One” test. However, there are no limits or restrictions of the number of attempts to take the test.
If you are feeling unsure and dubious about the test, do not worry.

Test Number Two: Driving Ability Test
The second part of your test is comprised of a driving ability test, meaning your driving skills will be assessed by an external examiner. He will be sitting next to you in the passenger seat and will be assessing your driving abilities on various roads. Up to six minor faults are allowed in order to pass the exam, in case you get more than six minor faults or even one considered more hazardous, you will fail your Driving ability test. Please note, here you have only three opportunities to take the test. Failing four times on the Driving ability test will lead to retaking the whole training program again from Test Number One.
