The documents linked below are the examiners' operating procedures for ADI tests during the Covid 19 emergency period.
You can see a series of recorded webinars about this topic here (produced for SmartDriving Students and Trainers)
The Part Two procedures are much the same as L test (for example, early termination for serious or driver fault limit reached).
Perhaps the most important thing to not is the 45 minute test period for Standsrds Checks and Part Three
Part Three and Standards Checks have PPE requirements as you would expect but the customer requirements have changed.
You must provide a customer who is partly-trained, trained, or a full licence holder. You cannot take a beginner or do a static lesson. The other major change is that time allocated for the lesson will be reduced from 60 minutes to 45 minutes.
Quote from the examiner’s guidelines for Part-Three/Standards Check:
“Keeping the vehicle moving
This does not mean that Instructors cannot stop or change the lesson plan if something goes wrong. We expect this, the lesson is for the benefit of their pupil. We are not expecting a 10 tot [sic] 15-minute static brief during the minimum 40 minutes ‘wheels moving’ assessment."
Because the focus of these changes are designed to reduce the period of exposure and time spent in an enclosed vehicle, every effort must be made to keep the main body of the assessment ‘wheels moving’ (and vehicle well ventilated) . Therefore a beginner or static lesson is NOT acceptable. The Examiner will not conduct the test and your fee will be lost if you present with a beginner.
Wheels moving: This does not mean that candidates cannot stop or change the lesson plan if something goes wrong. DVSA expect this, the lesson is for the benefit of their pupil.
The Examiner is not expecting a 10 to 15-minute static brief during the minimum 40 minutes ‘wheels moving’ assessment. If the candidate persists with a static brief, and the Examiner cannot make a satisfactory assessment, they will try and manage this situation with a discreet prompt. In this scenario, on the return the Examiner should terminate the test – no result. If this happens on a Part 3 test, the fee will be forfeited. On a standards check, the lesson will be void and the Instructor will have to attend again
