Your assessment result

You’ll be given your result and a debrief at the end of the assessment by the assessor. You’ll be sent confirmation of your result by post.

Passing the assessment

You’ll be sent more information about how to apply to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for registration as a DVSA assessed instructor.

Until you’ve got your registration certificate you are not allowed to:

  • conduct compulsory basic training (CBT) courses
  • train any instructors on behalf of your approved training body (ATB)

Failing the assessment

You cannot apply to retake the assessment if you fail it twice within a 12-month period. You’ll have to wait until 1 year after the date of the second assessment before applying again.

Failing if you’re a down-trained instructor

You can continue to give CBT training if you’re a down-trained instructor, but you’ll have to have a standards check at your ATB in the near future.
