The Training Plan
I follow the syllabus laid out by the DSA and also use modern training aids, for example:
Further materials can also be found in the "resources" section of this web site.
The DSA recommends around 35 - 45 hours of professional training, plus additional private practise to give you the best chance of passing. I can advise you during training on how you are progressing and adapt you lessons to your individual needs.
Test Structure
The test is in 2 parts:
- The Theory Test
The Theory Test is taken using a touch-screen computer at your local test centre. There are two sections to this test; the first consists of a series of multiple choice questions covering a wide range of driving related topics (pass mark 43 out of 50) and the second covers Hazard Perception. In Hazard Perception you will be shown 15 video clips, each of which contains one or more "developing hazards" that you must respond to by clicking the mouse button as soon as you spot them.
To get your Theory Test Certificate you must achieve pass marks in both parts of the test on the same date. This certificate lasts for two years, after which, if you have not passed your Practical Test, you will have to re-sit the full Theory Test.
- The Practical Test
You will take your test at a local Driving Test Centre, and it will be conducted by a Driving Skills Agency examiner. The test will last approximately forty minutes, during which time you will be asked to perform at least two of the following manoeuvres:
- Turn in the road
- Left reverse
- Parallel park
- Bay park
- Emergency stop
In order to pass the Practical test you must not commit more than fifteen driving faults or one serious/dangerous fault.
