To qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor you have to pass a three-part examination, with each part taken on a separate occasion.

While it is theoretically possible to qualify in as little as three months, this rarely, if ever happens. Beware of training providers who claim to be able to give you a fast track through the exams.

You have two years in which to qualify - typically you might expect a five to twelve month timescale depending upon examination waiting lists. Being able to study full time will not significantly reduce this period.

By utilising the resources on the SmartDriving web site you can qualify as quickly as possible, however, the time it takes will be determined by how dedicated you are and the availability of examination appointments.
