Standards check for driving instructors

Picking a driving instructor can be a risk, but now changes being introduced by Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will see a grading structure identifying the best instructors.

An A grade  – 85 per cent or over –  will indicate an overall high standard of instruction.

60 per cent or over will show a sufficient level of competence.

Less than 60 per cent will be a Fail – indicating unsatisfactory performance.

DVSA Chief Executive, Alastair Peoples, is aiming to bring up the standard of instructors in the industry. He said: “The new standards check will enable qualified driving instructors to better demonstrate their competence to deliver effective training.  A high level of tuition can make a real difference in helping new drivers to become safe and responsible and the grading structure will make it easier for learners and parents to identify the best instructors”.
