Adi part 3

Adi Part 3

The object of the adi part 3 test is to assess the quality of your instruction and your ability to pass your knowledge on to pupils. The test is in two parts, each of which lasts about half an hour. You must pass both parts on the same test.

At your adi part 3, You will be asked to demonstrate your knowledge and ability by giving practical driving instruction to the examiner who will first take on the role of a pupil who is a beginner, or a learner driver with limited driving knowledge, and then a pupil who is about test standard. The examiner will explain everything to you at the time.

Duration of the Part Three Test

The test of instructional ability should take approximately one hour. Examiners should aim at allowing about a minimum of 28 minutes for each of the two phases, but will appreciate that a PDI who usually takes perhaps an hour for each lesson cannot be expected to compress their tuition into the time allowed.

Two things follow in consequence (a) the examiner must be careful not to suggest to the PDI that the time available for instruction is
limited, (b) the PDI must not be faulted for not covering a whole exercise, if lack of time is the only reason for them not doing so.

They should be assessed on the tuition they have given, and it is only when the PDI has clearly finished with the subject that it may be
assumed they have nothing more to say

ADI Part 3  - The Car

The PDI is required to provide a suitable saloon or estate car in proper condition for the
practical test. It should be fitted with an orthodox (i.e. non-automatic) transmission system,
right hand steering, and a readily adjustable driving seat and a seat for a forward facing
front passenger

As this is an instructional test, ‘L’ plates (or ‘D’ plates in Wales) will be displayed, unless the second phase comprises of that of a pupil who is a full licence holder. Time will be given at the end of the first phase for the PDI to cover/remove the ‘L’ plates (From March 2006 if ‘L’ plates cannot be removed or covered the test should continue in the usual manner with the examiner starting the second phase as a (Full Licence Holder.) They should not change the pupil role from FLH to Trained stage simply because the L plates cannot be removed or covered.

ADI PART 3 - Directions

The area in which the examiner carries out this test is dictated by time and type of exercise and with the exception of exercises one and two there is no reason why each exercise should not start in the vicinity of the office.

It may not be convenient or suitable to start exercise one or two from outside some offices.
In which case it will be for the examiner to advise the PDI that it will be necessary for them
to drive for a short distance to a suitable area. It is for the examiner to use the shortest
possible route to allow a suitable location to be reached.

The PDI should be told to assume that they have picked up their pupil at the pupil’s place of work and that the PDI would drive to a suitable place to commence the lesson.

The PDI should be told that they will be given directions as to the route and they should remember that this is an instructional test and not a test of their own driving ability.

Adi part 3 exercises

For each of the two roles the examiner will choose one of the exercises given below as the basis of the instruction:

The instruction you give should be tailored to the time available and to the standard of the ‘pupil’ being role-played by the examiner. You will probably find it helpful to establish the depth of the ‘pupil’s’ knowledge in each phase, by asking questions and observing the ‘pupil’s’ performance as you would with a real pupiyou had not taught before.

Adi part 3 - How will I be assessed?

In assessing your performance, the examiner will take into account:

You will be expected to maintain control of the lesson, be patient and tactful and give encouragement to the ‘pupil’ at all times. What is assessed is the relevance of the instruction for the ability of the pupil and to the particular conditions on the road on the day of the test.

Part 3 Training

The key to success is the quality and quantity of your adi part 3 training. Notice we said QUANTITY. Why? Because anyone who needs part 3 training, needs to be given there training on a one to one basis. The national driving schools and colleges DO NOT do this, and one thing is for sure you will not pass! The amount of adi part 3 training we give to students who have already spent thousands with these place is astounding. We hear of trainers taking 2 or 3 people per car!!
  This means that only 20 or even 13 hours of your adi part 3 training is actually spent on you.
We do all our training on a one to one basis!

So whether you are on a full course or you have already failed your adi part 3 and just need extra training, why not give us a call today and let us help you.

Adi Part 3 Recovery Training

For those who are needing extra adi part 3 training or who have failed an adi part 3 test.

• Fed up of taking coffee breaks during your training?
• Annoyed that you spend most of your training session watching someone else?
• Let down by always covering the same pst in your training?
• Ever been asked to use your training to allow someone in the back to watch?
• Feel unsure of what is needed to pass your adi part 3 test?
• Ever been told to do the test so you know what to expect?
• Taken the test hoping you don't get pst .........?
  

When it come to adi part 3 training it is sad that many of the national driving schools and training colleges favour adi training on a 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1 basis. What this means is at the end of someone's adi part 3 training, realistically the most they have done is 20 hours and one thing is virtually guaranteed, you WILL NOT pass your part 3 test with 20 hours training!!  We do all of our adi part 3 training on a 1 - 1 basis. This way your training is centred fully on you and your strengths and weaknesses, and not on watching someone else and their problems.

Adi Part 3

If any of the above apply to you, then don't feel all is lost, we at Driver Training Ltd can help you to put it right! Our adi part 3 training is all done in car and not in classrooms or coffee points. We go through it step by step and we don't move on, until you fully understand what is required and are starting to do it.

The key to passing your adi part 3 is knowledge. Knowledge equals confidence and confidence equals control. Control on your adi part 3 test equals a pass! It's as simple as that.

 For example on your adi part 3 test, if you know for certain that a road is 20 mph limit and there are speed cameras every 30 feet and the examiner said "this road is a 60 mph limit and that's what i'm going to do." You would without fail tell him...
 "it isn't and there is no way in this world you are going over 20 mph, and getting us caught by the speed cameras, even if i have to keep my foot on the dual control, this car is not going over 20!!!"

Why? Because you are confident about the speed limit, you know you are 100% right and because of that you are in control of the situation!

However on your adi part 3 when it comes to reversing around the corner to your right, are you as confident about the briefing? Confident about the focal points the pupil needs to help him around? Confident about what you need to look for, so that you know how far from the kerb he is? Chances are, if we being totally honest, that you're not and that is where the problem lies. Not always with you but with your training or your trainer.
