TRAINEE pink LICENSE for a PDI (POTENTIAL DRIVING INSTRUCTOR).
Instructor Training.
Once you have passed your Part 2, you can if you wish apply for a trainee licence. You must be sponsored by an ADI to do this, and it will mean you can then instruct learners, and gain experience for your Part 3 exam. You can also be paid for teaching, but a trainee licence only lasts six months and usually only one will be granted in a two year qualifying period. If you fail three attempts at part 3 while the licence is still valid, it will expire and may not be used to teach. If you choose to apply for a trainee licence, there are conditions:
~You may only instruct pupils who belong to the school who have sponsored you
~You must not advertise yourself as a qualified instructor
And most importantly:
~You must receive 40 hours practical training by an ADI. It is your responsibility to ensure you receive training in all of the areas of the subject matter.
If you do not apply for a trainee licence, you do not need to receive a set number of hours of tuition. This means you could take the Part 3 test with no training if you wanted, although this is certainly not recommended!
The truth is the exams will require a lot of hard work, but they are passable if you receive the correct training. Trainee licenses can help.
