Test centres
Where your pupils will test
DVSA test centres across the UK are where every pupil takes their practical driving test. As an instructor based in Broadway, you'll typically prepare pupils for tests at the nearest centres to your working area. Orbit helps you track test bookings, target your teaching to the local test routes, and monitor pass rates over time.

Overview
How to become a driving instructor in Broadway
The ADI qualification process is the same wherever you are in Great Britain, but training options vary by area. In Worcestershire, as everywhere, you pass three DVSA tests, and you must pass Parts 2 and 3 within 2 years of passing Part 1. Your total cost depends on how much training you need.
