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;
Newly-qualified ADIs, however, remain ungraded until they have their
"Educational Visit"
which should be within their first year of trading as an ADI.
Part III gets you used to the grading system, but it is not a test aimed at giving you
an ADI Grade.
Here are the definitions of the Grades :
Grade 5. Good.
Grade 4. Adequate.
Grade 2. Poor.
Grade 1. Bad.
The Driving Standards Agency [DSA] uses a 6-point grading system, where
Grades 1 to 3 are unacceptable, and 4 to 6 acceptable.
and each "Phase" must reach at least Grade 4 standard.
Thus, even if a PDI gains "6-6" at Part III, they remain an ungraded ADI.
Thus the candidate who may gain a 4-6 in their Phases is neither a
"Grade 4 Instructor" nor a "Grade Sixer"!
Grade 6. Very Good.
The highest standard with no significant weaknesses.
Only minor deficiencies.
Some shortcomings that need attention.
Grade 3. Inadequate.
Unacceptable shortcomings in technique and/or behaviour.
Numerous deficiencies such as inaccuracies, errors, serious omissions
and/or faults in manner.
Instruction is grossly wrong, potentially or actually dangerous
and/or serious shortcomings in attitude and approach.
