The Secretary of State can require that evidence of registration should be displayed in the classroom, on the business premise
Classroom tuition on any driving related topic can be carried out by anyone, whether it’s theory training, part one ADI training, etc. There is no requirement to be an ADI to teach driving theory. You don’t even need to hold a driving licence to teach it. The ADI licence regulations apply only to practical instruction on driving a car in the category B licence. Strangely, you don’t even need to be an ADI to give B+E tuition, which involves driving a car and trailer!
So unless the Secretary of State changes the laws to make it compulsory to have an ADI licence for all driving related classroom training that isn’t going to work either.
One of the national associations has recently said it wants compulsory display of ADI licences, which seems to be against what many ADIs want. Its leaders should read this article before thinking about making it their policy.
