What we're doing to set standards for driver training, including the skills, knowledge and understanding needed, and how we're protecting the public from illegal instructors.
We’ve announced that the driving test will change from 4 December 2017, and in this post, we want to explain more about how the changes will affect driving instructors.
Last September, we told you about the proposed changes we’re making to the ADI part 3 test. We've been busy since then and in this short blog post, I want to tell you about what's happened and what you can do to prepare.

Firstly, I want to thank those of you who have reported an illegal driving instructor to DVSA. These reports are vital and help us to bring the criminals who abuse the driving test system to justice.
The vast majority of instructors maintain a high professional standard and are a credit to the driver training industry. To make sure this continues, it’s important that DVSA takes appropriate action whenever someone’s conduct falls below what is expected.
It’s been a while since we last published the Despatch ezine, but we’re relaunching in a new blog format that will be much more interactive.
