DVSA enhanced rider scheme trainer
Standards checks and monitoring
You must take a standards check to make sure you can continue to be a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) enhanced rider scheme trainer. DVSA will contact you to arrange this.
A DVSA examiner will watch you train a pupil to assess your training skills.
How you’re checked depends on whether you’re a direct access scheme (DAS) certified instructor.
If you’re a DAS instructor
Your standards check will be based on a DVSA enhanced rider scheme lesson.
You must score 43 or more out of 51 to continue being an enhanced rider scheme trainer.
If you do not pass, you’ll need to take another standards check. If you fail a second time, you will not be allowed to continue as an enhanced rider scheme trainer.
If you cannot carry out a lesson because there’s no pupil available
The DVSA examiner will carry out a motorcycle trainer standards check while you provide compulsory basic training (CBT). You need to score 43 or above to pass.
If you do not pass, you’ll need to take another standards check. If you fail a second time, you will not be allowed to continue as an enhanced rider scheme trainer, and will need to restart the qualification process. You can also be removed from the CBT instructor register.
If you’re not a DAS instructor
You must take a standards check within the first year of qualifying as a DVSA enhanced rider scheme trainer. DVSA will contact you to arrange this.
Your standards check will be based on a DVSA enhanced rider scheme lesson.
You must score 43 or more out of 51 to pass.
If you do not pass, you’ll need to take another standards check. If you fail a second time, you will not be allowed to continue as a trainer.
If this happens and you want to continue as a trainer, you’ll need to:
- have an up to date recognised advanced rider qualification
- pass another theory test
- take additional training at an approved enhanced rider scheme trainer centre and provide proof of the development you’ve taken
