Part 1 - Theory Test

We will advise you on what books you may consider purchasing for Part 1. You will also have unlimited access to our extensive library of additional books, videos, audio cassettes, CDs & DVDs plus the full use of our computer suite.

In addition to the theoretical element of the Part 1 test, we will provide you with video and CD ROM training materials to assist you with the Hazard Perception Test. If you do not have access to video or computer equipment at home, suitable equipment is available in our computer suite or you can attend one of our Theory Classes.

Part 2 - Test of driving ability

For Part 2 of the test you will have the option of using your own vehicle or one of ours depending on which you feel more comfortable using. All training is conducted on a 1:1 ratio. The amount of hours you will need for Part 2 can vary from individual to individual, however 12 - 16 hours is about average on a 1:1 ratio. Each training session will be followed by a debriefing that counts toward the hours of training you receive. More training hours can be booked if required. We will ensure that you are able to pass the examination with confidence.

Trainee Licence - Earn while you learn

Once you have passed the Part 2 test, and completed 40 hours of Part III training, it is possible to take out a Trainee Licence to instruct for a 6-month period, to help you prepare for the Part 3 test of instructional ability. Trainees are self-employed and earn the same hourly rate as our fully qualified ADIs. Instructors on a Trainee badge can typically work 30 - 40 hours per week and earn while gaining valuable hands on experience before attempting Part 3.

Part 3 - Instructional ability

Part 3 of the training comprises of both practical and theoretical study. Your trainer will assess your ability to teach and communicate, as the course proceeds, and your training will be planned accordingly. Like Part II the amount of hours you will need for Part III can vary from individual to individual however 40 hours is usually about normal for a 1:1 ratio. Further training sessions can be booked if required.

As well as personal tuition, we offer three other methods of learning which you will find useful in your preparation for the Part 3 examination:

  • Group sessions
    Where practicable, several trainees and one or more trainers or ADIs will hold a group session to cover particular subjects or teaching techniques.
  • Observed lessons with Pro-Scot Instructors
    by arrangement, trainees studying for the Part 3 examination may observe actual driving lessons with Pro-Scot School of Motoring instructors.
  • Rear seat observation
    Pro-Scot have a unique way of extending your training hours. Students can sit in on other trainee's lessons for FREE providing they have booked and are undertaking training with Pro-Scot for both Part 2 and Part 3. To qualify for this additional free training they must allow other students to observe their 1:1 lessons.
