This is an old article from 2011. It is still correct, but I suggest you take a look at Should I Become A Driving Instructor<\/a> for more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone found the blog on the search term “what happens if you fail your 3rd adi test”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have two years<\/strong> to complete all the training from the date when you pass your Theory Test<\/strong> (Part 1). Obviously, you can do as much training as you like before this, as long as you’re not giving lessons for money – and you can have as many goes as you like at Part 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2 is the driving skills bit. You can have a maximum of three tries at this within the two year period mentioned.<\/strong> If you fail a third time, you have to wait until the two years of your Part 1 is finished before starting all over again – with Part 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3 is the instructional ability bit. Again, you have a maximum of three tries within the two year period <\/strong>and – irrespective of how many tries at Part 2 you had – if you fail a third time you have to wait until the two years<\/strong> from when you passed Part 1 is up. Then you have to start with Part 1<\/strong> all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing which says you can’t do Part 3 training while you’re studying for Parts 1 and 2 (and ditto with Part 2). There is nothing which says you can’t teach people for practice purposes at any stage throughout this (every parent in the country would be committing a crime otherwise). The only thing you cannot do is take money for it – you need a PDI (trainee) licence to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
