Rules for your driving examiners

When deciding whether to give permission for someone to provide driving tests, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) looks at if they:

  • have a full driving licence for the type of vehicle they’re testing in
  • have had any convictions in the last 3 years
  • have been disqualified from driving
  • have any court proceedings pending against them
  • have any penalty points on their licence

Qualifying as a delegated driving examiner

Your employees must then:

  • complete an initial training course
  • reach an appropriate standard in the delegated driving examiner theory and practical tests

DVSA will send you more information about the qualifying process when you apply to provide driving tests.
