Pass Plus Registered Instructor

 

Pass Plus https://www.gov.uk/pass-plus/overview

 

As a Pass Plus registered ADI I encourage you to take your training beyond just passing your test. Pass Plus is the approved scheme that will be the first part of your further education, and may benefit you with cheaper insurance when you start to drive your own vehicle.

 

Pass plus is an optional course introduced by Driving Standards Agency and is considered the best way to give additional driving experience to a qualified learner by an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) that has been Pass Plus registered.

 

The main aim of this course is to impart valuable knowledge to drivers who have recently passed the practical driving test, and who want to learn new skills and techniques, improve their anticipation and alertness and learn how to reduce accidents.

 

Pass Plus comprises six modules, each covering a different aspect of driving.

 

These modules are:

•  Town driving

•   All-weather driving

•  Driving out of town

•  Night driving

•  Driving on dual carriageways

•  Driving on motorways

 

Some of the aspects may be covered in theory only, such as weather and night driving which require conditions that may be hard to replicate especially in the summer, or motorway driving if there is no motorway nearby. However, this is only done when a practical training session is not possible.

 

The scheme takes a minimum of six hours to complete. The practical assessment is more lenient than that used in the standard driving test, and adherence to many rules that would otherwise constitute a major mistake in the main practical exam (such as parking at an angle) does not apply. It is only required that one is able to drive safely and legally.

 

There is no examination at the end of the Pass Plus course; rather, a certificate is awarded once the instructor is satisfied with the candidate's competence.

Each module must be completed to an achieved or exceeded standard, in order to pass:

Achieved: successfully reached the driving standard required for each of the competencies.

Exceeded: exceeded the driving standard required for each of the competencies.

If a module is completed in theory, "Achieved" is the highest standard possible, as the candidate does not have an opportunity to practically demonstrate their competence.
