The DVSA Process Step One DVSA Part 1 Test

Step 2 –  You must get a DBS check (formerly CRB), even if you already have one for another role or organisation.

Get a DBS check

Start application process

You will need the following information:

– The organisation PIN of ‘105205’
– The ‘secret word’ which is ‘axis’
– The organisation name of ‘DVSA-PDI (PO)’

Step 3 – Find a Trainer – DO YOUR HOMEWORK

DVSA recommend using an ORDIT registered trainer – This provides you with some limited security and comes back through the DVSA complaints procedure. However, it is not a requirement and ORDIT just demonstrates efforts have been made and structure is in place. There are equally good and bad trainers on both sides of the fence.

Buyer Beware:

• Speak to your trainer, not just the training provider
• Read the contracts and understand what is and isn’t being provided.
• Speak to local instructors and ask for references

This is when training for the 3 Part testing process may begin….. Some choose to do their Part 1 independently then engage a trainer. Others take a more packaged approach. Be aware – Some packages ‘penalise’ you for being independent. Others offer a ‘blended’ approach to the process – so your Part 1 would benefit from greater understanding. In these cases, you may do all your training before taking any of the tests. Consider your options first!
