The Part One test is the first examination that you will face on the road to becoming an ADI. This first part is all home study and classroom work leading up to the examination listed below. As part of the course you are supplied not only with the materials to help you study but also with practical advice, tips and resources.

Part One: The Theory Test

The first part of the test consists of a series of 100 questions on a computer screen. Each question has a set of four multiple choice answers with one or more correct answers included. You are allowed 90 minutes to complete the test. You must achieve a pass mark of 85%.The second part of the test is a hazard perception test. This consists of 14 video clips containing normal driving scenes, in which you have to click on various hazards that appear. A pass mark of 57 out of a possible 75 is required on this section of the test. The training that we will provide you with to complete your Part One is as follows:

We provide seven publications:

• The Highway Code

• Driving Instructors Handbook

• Driving The Essential Skills

• Know Your Traffic Signs

• The Official Theory Test

• The Official Learning to Drive

• DVD-ROM Theory/Hazard perception training

The school will supply your mock test papers that can be completed with the aid of the books supplied by us. Once completed, we will mark them, indicate any incorrect answers and supply you with the correct answers as well as further training papers. To assist your training further we may ask you from time to time to complete some mock test papers without any study aids at our training centre. This will enable us to assess if you are ready to take your part one test. The school will provide you with any back up needed and welcomes any queries you may have.
