A Guide to ADI Grades

The Driving Standards Agency [DSA] uses a 6-point grading system, where Grades 1 to 3 are unacceptable, and 4 to 6 acceptable.

When PDIs pass Part III and can apply for their coveted "Green Badge", their performances for each "Phase" of their Part III Test are similarly graded;
and each "Phase" must reach at least Grade 4 standard.

Newly-qualified ADIs, however, remain ungraded until they have their "Educational Visit" which should be within their first year of trading as an ADI.
Thus, even if a PDI gains "6-6" at Part III, they remain an ungraded ADI.

Part III gets you used to the grading system, but it is not a test aimed at giving you an ADI Grade.
Thus the candidate who may gain a 4-6 in their Phases is neither a "Grade 4 Instructor" nor a "Grade Sixer"!

Here are the definitions of the Grades :


Grade 6. Very Good.
The highest standard with no significant weaknesses.

Grade 5. Good.
Only minor deficiencies.

Grade 4. Adequate.
Some shortcomings that need attention.

---

Grade 3. Inadequate.
Unacceptable shortcomings in technique and/or behaviour.

Grade 2. Poor.
Numerous deficiencies such as inaccuracies, errors, serious omissions and/or faults in manner.

Grade 1. Bad.
Instruction is grossly wrong, potentially or actually dangerous and/or serious shortcomings in attitude and approach.
