Driving Instructor Statistics


With only a third of trainee driving instructors qualifying and receiving their "green ADI  badge", it is sensible to be aware of some of the key performance measures in the industry.  This blog will give you the very latest available (up to March 2018).

There were 170 new ADI's (Approved Driving Instructors) added to the register in March and 328 renewals (occurs every 4 years).  The total on the register is 39,248 (it is declining register).

For qualifying test rates, the Part 1 (theory) test has a 53% pass rate, the Part 2 (driving) test has a 54% pass rate (marginally higher than the 'Learner' driving test pass rate (45%).  The Part 3 (instructional) pass rate is 36.1% - this rate has increased for the past 6 years.  Interesting to note that for month on month figures, the Part 2 (driving) test pass rates do often outperform the Part 1 (theory) pass rates, and yet people considering coming into the industry are often put off by the perceived standard of driving required of a driving instructor.

Already qualified ADI's and the Standards Check statistics for March 2018 across the UK are 9311 Grade A (22%), 19734 Grade B (47%) and 666 failed (1.3%).

There were 621 PDI applications in March (starting the qualification process) and 126 were "refused".
