Check Test Training

Every so often, all qualified instructors have to undergo a Check Test, a test to confirm their ability to continue to instruct. Experience instructors usually have a Check Test every four years, but newly qualified instructors can expect their first Check Test within 12 months of qualifying.

Check Test preparation can be for either the ADI Check Test or the Fleet Register Check Test. We have helped many ADIs to change their grade. Check Test training should be much more than simply preparing for a test. When you discover how to improve your skills as an instructor, your daily routine will be less stressful and your pass rates will improve. Think about the effect that first class training could have for your business.
