Graham Kent
Graham Kent, the owner of Anderby and Chief Instructor started off as an Approved Driving Instructor (A.D.I.) and has accompanied Learner drivers on literally hundreds of driving tests. He has also accompanied many Trainee Instructors on their Part 2 and Part 3 tests. As such, he understands exactly what the examiners are looking for. Graham also holds the Cardington Grade A special test certificate and is a Grade 6 instructor. Graham has also trained instructors to the Grade 6 standard. (Grade 6 is the highest level that can be achieved).

Your training
Everyone learns at different paces and therefore all training is carried out on strictly a one-to-one basis – this means that your training will be suited to you and you will not have someone else in the back-seat.

We also only charge for the training on a ‘Pay-as-you-Go’ basis – therefore you won’t have to stump up a large sum of money before you’ve even started. It’s sensible to do it this way as you may find that half way through your training that Driving instructing isn’t for you.

However, for more detailed and up-to-date information please also view the DSA/Transport Office web-site page by clicking here:- Introduction to becoming a driving instructor

1. You need to have held a full UK or European Union (EU/European Economic Area (EEA) unrestricted car driving licence for a minimum of three and a half years and be a mimimum of 21 years old. Have held it for a total of at least four out of the past six years prior to entering the Register after qualifying

2. Not have been disqualified from driving at any time in the four years prior to being entered in the Register

3. Be able to read a number plate (glasses or contact lenses are OK to be worn but, obviously you need to wear these during your driving / instructing)

5. Be a “fit and proper” person to have your name entered in the Register. All convictions, motoring and non-motoring, will be taken into account when the DSA assess your suitability to be entered on the Register. You will be required to have an enhanced level criminal record check. The information from this check will be used by the DSA to assess the suitability of persons applying for inclusion on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors. To help you decide if any conviction you may have could affect any application you might make, you can find the link to the DSA statement on the suitability of ex-offenders in the related items box.

8. Pass the DSA Part 2* examination (Test of practical driving ability)
Note:- Once this test has been passed - you may be able to obtain sponsorship and become a 'Trainee' Instructor. You have to undertake a very high quality and demanding training course of a minimum of 40 hours(as stipulated by the DSA) before you can start to teach. An additional 20 hours of training must also be taken during the initial 12 weeks of you holding a Trainee Licence.

9. Pass the DSA Part 3* examination (Test of Instructional ability)

10. Apply for registration to the DSA within 12 months of passing the final part of the examination.
