DVSA ORDIT Terms and Conditions
0.1 ‘ADI’ is a DSA Approved Driving Instructor.
0.2 ‘Inspector’ is a person accredited by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) to carry out ORDIT testing of Trainers and Organisations in accordance with agreed ORDIT inspection guidelines and standards.
0.3 'Organisation’ is the individual or corporate body, which must be a recognised legal entity (i.e. sole trader, partnership, limited or public limited company) with a named Principal, to which ORDIT Membership is granted, subject to the terms and conditions herein being satisfied and adhered to.
0.4 ‘Premises’ are the places from which training is provided and/or training records are maintained by the Organisation and where correspondence can be addressed to by clients or other interested parties.
0.5 ‘Principal’ is the named senior person, authorised by the Organisation, responsible for ensuring that the term and conditions of ORDIT Membership are adhered to.
0.6 ‘Prospective Trainer’ is an individual Trainer lacking experience who is allowed to give instructor training on behalf of an Organisation while awaiting ORDIT inspection subject to stringent regulations herein.
0.7 ‘Register’ and ‘ORDIT’ shall mean the Official Register of Driving Instructor Training.
0.8 ‘Trainee’ is a person undergoing ADI training.
0.9 ‘Trainer’ is an individual who gives instructor training for one or more parts of the ADI qualifying examination on behalf of the Organisation whether directly or indirectly employed, franchised or contracted.
0.10 ‘Registrar’ is the Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors.
1.2.2 Satisfactory standards of training are available for ADIs who wish to receive further training or re-training;
1.2.5 Those organisations, premises and trainers that are successfully ORDIT inspected will be promoted through the ORDIT list contained within the DSA’s Starter Pack for potential ADIs (ADI 14);
2.2 Inform prospective Trainees of the Organisation’s terms of business and complaints procedure.
2.4 Not disclose to a third party any information given by a Trainee during training or training progress or driving and instructional ability except where under obligation in Law or with the DSA as part of an ORDIT inspection or with a third party who is paying for a Trainee’s training but subject to the Trainee’s knowledge.
3.8 The ADI Registrar reserves the right, but not the duty, to make a complaint about a member’s advertising (in whatever form) to the appropriate regulatory body if in his opinion such material does not satisfy the above criteria in 3.1 through to 3.4. As an alternative to such a complaint being raised the member may elect to immediately remove the offending material and thus potentially avoid such action being taken.
4.1.1. ORDIT registration and ORDIT Trainer qualifications shall be for a period of two years.
4.1.2 Organisations applying to join or remain on the Register must have at least 60% of their Trainers successfully ORDIT qualified for either Part 2 or Part 3 training both overall and at each Premises. All the remaining Trainers must either be ORDIT qualified for Part 1 or be Prospective Trainers (and therefore fully comply with 4.11 below). In the case of a two-man organisation, a ratio of 50% will be acceptable. Once on the Register, should the 60% or 50% rule be breached by resignation or failure at re-inspection, the Organisation has 21 days in which to re-submitfor inspection a trainer, so as to meet the criteria, without losing their ORDIT status. Failure to do so will result in the Organisation being removed from the Register.
4.2.3 Organisations may operate from more than one Premises and upon successful inspection each Premises will be listed on the Register under the Organisations’ name.
4.2.4 “Premises only” inspections will be dealt with on merit and on a “case by case” basis. Acceptance of these premises shall be at the discretion of the ADI Registrar. For example, an Organisation may move to new premises.
4.5 Criteria for the ADI theory trainings
4.5.3 Each Trainer who passes an ORDIT inspection for ADI theory classroom training will be listed in the Register as qualified to deliver Part 1 classroom training (i.e. P1C). The Trainers’ name will appear in the Register under the name of the Organisation and the Premises that they primarily work from.
4.5.4 If only distance learning is provided the name of the Trainer or Trainers responsible for controlling and monitoring ADI theory training will be listed in the Register to deliver Part 1 training (i.e. P1D) under the name of the Organisation and the Premises that they primarily work from. Such nominees must already be ORDIT qualified to give either Part 2 or Part 3 training.
4.5.5 Training in preparation for the theory test is acceptable in either classroom or distance learning format or a combination of both. However, when distance learning is used the Organisation must have a system for monitoring Trainee instructors’ progress and providing feedback. Just providing Trainees with a copy of the DSA databank or other similar mock exam questions and the standard reference books will not be considered adequate.
4.6.2 Each Trainer who passes a Part 2 ORDIT inspection will be listed in the Register as qualified to deliver Part 2 training. The Trainers’ name will appear in the Register under the name of the Organisation and/or the Premises that they primarily work from.
4.6.3 The training for the second part of the ADI qualifying examination should be properly structured with clearly defined aims and objectives. The training programme should be designed to identify and eliminate any driving faults of the Trainee instructor. The progress of each Trainee instructor should be carefully monitored and formally recorded for the benefit of the Trainee and the Trainer alike. Each Trainee instructor’s Part 2 exam results should also be recorded whether they are a pass or fail.
4.7.1 All Trainers wishing to deliver Part 3 training must be ORDIT qualified to deliver Part 3 training (unless they are a Part 3 Prospective Trainer as defined below under section 4.11). Trainers successfully ORDIT inspected for Part 3 will automatically be qualified to deliver Part 2 training. On each alternate inspection the Trainer may elect to be inspected for Part 2 rather than for Part 3 if they so wish. Each Trainer who passes a Part 3 ORDIT inspection will be listed in the Register as qualified for delivering training for Part 3 and Part 2. The Trainers’ name will appear in the Register under the name of the Organisation and the Premises that they primarily work from.
4.7.2 The training for Part 3 should be properly structured with clearly defined aims and objectives. The training programme should be designed to help the Trainee instructor develop each of the skills and cover each of the topics necessary to pass the third part of the ADI qualifying examination. A dual-controlled training car must be available to the Trainee so that use of dual controls can be covered. The progress of each Trainee instructor should be carefully monitored and formally recorded for the benefit of the Trainee and the Trainer alike. Each Trainee’s Part 3 exam results should also be recorded whether they are a pass or fail.
4.9.1 Organisations must demonstrate to the DSA that the course training programme, assessment system and general training records are sufficient to professionally train someone to pass all parts of the ADI qualifying examination as part of any Premises inspection.
4.9.4 If an Organisation fails in its attempt to join the Register it may reapply as soon as it considers the reasons for the failure have been rectified. Successfully inspected Trainers would not need to be re-inspected within two years from the date of their inspection.
4.10.2 Premises inspections shall include inspection of classroom facilities (if available), training and trainee facilities, teaching materials (books videos), training course programme and Trainee assessment system (also see 4.9.2)
4.14.2 Appeals against a decision of the Registrar to take action against an establishment will need to be made within 14 days of the written confirmation of the decision being issued. Such appeals should be addressed to DSA’s Chief Driving Examiner who will deal with such appeals by means of written correspondence only. The Chief Driving Examiner will have the power to either overturn or accept the decision of the Registrar or to alter any time limits that have been imposed.
5.5 The refund policy must provide for an automatic and prompt refund to the Trainee for any ADI examination, trainee license or registration fees paid to the Organisation whether identified separately or inclusive in the overall training course fee. The Trainee’s entitlement to this money, at anytime upon their written request, should be clearly stated in the course contract or agreement. If the fees are paid on behalf of the Trainee by the Organisation it will be deemed that these fees have been collected as part of the fee for the training and subject to the terms of this clause.
