Part 2 Driving Ability Test

Driving Instructor Training with BIG TOM Driving School.

In line with the amendments to the Learner practical test, the DVSA have amended the PDI Part 2 practical test accordingly.  

CLICK HERE to get the structure of the Part 2 test which takes effect from 4/12/2017.

Prior to registering to become a Trainee Driving Instructor if you would like BIG TOM to take a look at your current driving then this can be very easily arranged with no financial cost or any further obligation.  It will offer you the opportunity to demonstrate your current "standard" of driving; it is always wise to attempt not to start doing things you would not normally do, and literally just drive as you normally drive. This assessment is conducted in a relaxed environment, 1:1 and in no way should be looked upon as any kind of 'test'.

The DVSA Driving Standard makes reference to instructors offering their pupils the opportunity to experience driving on a variety of class of road and with differing driving conditions.  It makes very good sense to take this same approach with your own driving ability as you may need to demonstrate certain techniques to your pupils.  

There are strict conditions regarding endorsements on a driving licence when it comes to the DVSA vetting potential trainee instructors prior to registering them.  See HERE for more details. 


If you have any queries regarding the Part 2 driving assessment do not hesitate to contact Tara on 0775 607 1464 or admin@BIGTOM.org.uk where the information you share will be treated with the utmost privacy and will be immediately disposed of once your query is answered to your satisfaction.

BIG TOM provides in-car driving training on a 1:1 basis, video recorded on request, with immediate accurate feedback and automatically recorded on your Training Log.  BIG TOM makes no assumptions of how much driving training (if any) our PDI's require, as such the training provided is on a payg (pay as you go) basis @ �40/hr payable in advance (See T&C's).   Historically, this has consistently proven to offer better value to our customers as compared to requiring all PDI's to train a pre-defined number of hours for the Part 2 test.
