ProScot in-house standards and ten key areas of performance:

All ProScot instructors must….

1. Sign up to and agree to abide by the DVSA code of conduct and practice.

2. Undertake regular bi-annual Continual Professional Development (CPD) training and agree to in house assessments by John Macdonald or Archie Douglas.

3. Display their ADI badge in their car during all driving tests so that they can be fully assessed by the DVSA to monitor their pass rate, average number of minors, serious and dangerous driving faults during tests. An annual statistical report called a Crystal report is produced by the DVSA. This data is used annually to measure our driving instructor’s performance over the previous 12-month period.

4. Achieve a standard above the DVSA's National average figures and trigger points for driving instructor performance during driving tests. This data is used to produce the annual Approved Driving Instructors Crystal report. This report is unique to each driving instructor it is used by the DVSA and ProScot to measure their performance.

5. Maintain highly rated and regular up to date pupil testimonials and feedback from their pupils.

6. Adhere to excellent time keeping and reliability.

7. Have minimum complaints (Typically no more than two over a two-year period).

8. Maintain excellent communication with students and office staff.

9.; Provide a clean car and wear their corporate branded clothing.

10. Achieve an overall high standard of satisfaction during random pupil call backs/surveys carried out by the ProScot office.

As you can see, ProScot driving instructors must maintain very high operational standards at all times. This gives us the confidence of knowing that if you book your driving lessons with ProScot we will not let you down.
