Part 3
The Part 3 exam is a test of your instructional and teaching ability. A supervising examiner will sit in the back of your car and assess your instructional techniques, instructor characteristics, and core competencies. You must teach a pupil a certain subject, whilst also adapting the lesson plan with further teaching points, encompassing risk assessment and management.
As mentioned above, we at Logic know that Part 3 is the most difficult and requires the most time to prepare for, so we start Part 3 training at the outset. We do not have a limited amount of training hours and offer training sessions suitable to your availability.
You will be marked on a score sheet out of 51, requiring at least 31 to pass. Once you have passed Part 3, you will need to apply for your ‘green badge’, and will be placed on the register of approved driving instructors. We will supply you with pupils to get your earnings revved up as soon as possible!
