I am an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with ADI Number 35529.

This number certified by the Road Safety Authority shows that I have passed the exams set by them in accordance to driver training and instruction, safety and precaution.

The above number can be verified at: http://www.rsa.ie/Utility/Driving-Instructors1/Check-ADI-Register/.

To be an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)

There are 3 stages costing €550. There is then a €250 registration fee per annum.

I was tested on my theory, computer simulated the very same way as someone applying for their first theory test, but a lot more complex in the questioning.

The second test, is my driving test, which is much longer and stricter, than the standard driving test.

My third test, is teaching the student, which tests your ability to communicate efficiently and effectively to the student during 2 scenarios of the tester's choice.

The ADI exam set by the RSA is good fun, they are a great bunch and even when going for your own driving test, if you are prepared and relaxed with the tester then you too will pass your exam.
