Check Test Training
Unhappy with your current Check Test grade? Looking to improve and achieve the grade YOU deserve? We’ll help you fulfil your potential!
At Active Driving Solutions, we offer comprehensive Check Test Assessment and Training courses from ½ a day to 2 full days, depending on your individual needs and circumstances. All Check Test Training courses are conducted by our experienced training specialists – Ged Wilmot and Claire Wilmot, who are both successful and experienced Grade 6 ADI Trainers.
Excellent Results!
Our results speak volumes about the quality and content of our training. The following is just one of our case studies of an instructor who achieved a Grade 6 on her first Check Test...
“YES! I GOT STRAIGHT 6’s!”
“When my Check Test summons arrived I contacted Ged immediately. It always helps to have someone assess your techniques; no one is above needing CPD to keep them on their toes.
The result? Grade 6! Thanks Ged!”
Experienced teacher, driver trainer and proprietor of Voyager Instructor Training, Wendy Farran DSA ADI, qualified as a driving instructor following training with Ged a few years ago. She subsequently took a half day Check Test Assessment and Training course shortly before her first Check Test, and as she had also qualified as a DSA Registered Fleet Trainer, was required to undertake a Fleet Check Test.
Following training with us, she obtained a straight Grade 6 in her Check Test – well done Wendy!
“What training will I need?”
If you are a newly-qualified ADI, we would advise that you book in for a half or full day’s Check Test Assessment and Training session approximately 6 months following qualification. The assessment is usually carried out ‘live’ on one of your driving lessons, so we will come to you. This will enable us to pinpoint your precise strengths and weaknesses in instructional ability and lesson structure.
At the end of the assessment and/or training session, you will be provided with written feedback and advice on your next step.
Of course, our services are not just purely directed towards the newly qualified ADI. Many experienced ADI’s may have received a disappointing grade on their last Check Test, or may simply wish to gain a higher grade to enable them to expand their portfolio of services.
“Does my Check Test Grade really matter?”
Definitely! Not only does it demonstrate to you and your prospective pupils that you are doing your job well, but a good grade can be invaluable if you wish to progress into Fleet Driver Training or ADI Training.
Many Fleet Driver Training companies, Police Authorities and Local Councils operating the National Driver Improvement Scheme, Red Light or Speed Awareness Courses require their trainers to be a minimum of a Grade 5. We recommend all ADI’s are assessed on a regular yearly basis. This should ensure that you maintain a high standard at all times, a standard of which you should be proud.
