What Is ADI Part 1 Training in Luton?
ADI Part 1 is the theory and hazard-perception stage of the Approved Driving Instructor qualification.
Unlike the standard learner theory test, the ADI Part 1 test covers knowledge and understanding expected from someone preparing to become a professional driving instructor.
Why Is ADI Part 1 Important for Future Driving Instructors?
Passing Part 1 allows you to progress towards ADI Part 2 , the driving ability test. Your Part 1 pass certificate is valid for 2 years, and you must qualify as an ADI within that period or restart the application process.
Build Knowledge for the Next ADI Stages
The knowledge developed during Part 1 can also provide a foundation for the practical and instructional stages that follow, including ADI Part 2 driving ability training and ADI Part 3 instructional ability training .
Who Is ADI Part 1 Training Suitable For?
ADI Part 1 training can be suitable for:
Changers
Drivers
Candidates
Part 1 Candidates

What Does the ADI Part 1 Test Include?
The ADI Part 1 test has two sections: multiple-choice questions and hazard perception. Both sections must be passed.
What Are the ADI Part 1 Multiple-Choice Questions?
The multiple-choice section contains 100 questions, divided equally across four categories. You have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete it.
Which Topics Should You Revise?
What Happens in the Hazard Perception Test?
The hazard perception section contains 14 video clips showing everyday road situations. You need to identify developing hazards as they begin to develop.
What Is a Developing Hazard?
A developing hazard is something that would require you to take action, such as changing speed or direction.
What Is the ADI Part 1 Pass Mark?
You need to meet the required score in both sections of the test.
Multiple-Choice Section
You need at least 85 out of 100 overall and a minimum of 20 out of 25 in each category.
Hazard Perception
You need to score at least 57 out of 75 in the hazard perception section.
What Happens If You Fail ADI Part 1?
If you fail either section, you must take the full ADI Part 1 test again. You must wait at least 3 working days before taking it again.
How Can Training Help Reduce Retakes?
Structured preparation can help identify weaker areas before the test, particularly question categories and hazard perception.
How Can You Prepare for ADI Part 1 in Luton?
Effective preparation should combine knowledge, practice and understanding rather than relying only on memorising answers.
What Study Materials Should You Use?
Revision can be based around the official publications and learning materials recommended by DVSA, including The Highway Code, Know Your Traffic Signs and Driving – The Essential Skills.
How Can ADI Part 1 Practice Questions Help?
Practice questions can help you become familiar with the style of questions, identify knowledge gaps and improve your ability to work through the test within the available time.
How Should You Practise Hazard Perception?
Hazard perception practice should focus on recognising when a situation starts to develop and responding at the appropriate moment. Avoid clicking continuously or in a pattern, as this will not score points.
Why Are Mock Tests Useful for ADI Part 1?
Mock tests can help you assess your progress before the real examination and identify areas that need further revision.
