We have been inundated with e-mails from Wales to Aberdeen all, so far, expressing disgust at the Minister’s proposal to require existing ADIs to re-take their entry qualifying examination Part 1. The following is based on the best information available at present. If the Minister presses ahead with his plan, all existing driving instructors will receive a letter requiring them to re-sit Part 1 within 12 months of receiving the letter. ADIs will be allowed three attempts the first of which will be free. Second and third attempts will cost £50 each. Failure to pass the exam in 12 months will result in removal from the register. Examiners are also to be required to sit the exam but will have 5 years in which to pass. The Driving Instructors Scottish Council has already been in touch with ADIs and individuals around the country and an extensive database is being collated. Everyone, so far, has expressed strong objections to the proposal. DISC is presently preparing a response to the proposal, which will be posted to this site very soon. When this is available, we would ask every ADI to write to his local MP in these or similar terms and ask for his or her support. |
