Take your driving skills to the next level with the AA Advanced Driving Diploma, designed and rigorously tested to align with the DVSA’s National Standard for Driving Cars and Light Vans. Built on the core principles of advanced driving found in Roadcraft, this diploma is DVSA-endorsed and subject to regular audits, ensuring Drivetech’s testing meets the highest standards.

The journey to earning this prestigious qualification begins with a 15-question theory test. This test covers advanced driving techniques, vehicle technology, and dynamics, setting the stage for the next step: the on-road test.

During the on-road assessment, drivers are evaluated not only on traditional advanced driving methods but also on efficient journey planning and the ability to drive with smooth, controlled precision. You’ll need to demonstrate an acute awareness of your vehicle, your driving habits, and how to harmonise every element of driving. All while providing a clear, confident commentary at a level that is comfortable to the driver (being mindful of any reasonable adjustments that the driver may want or need), revealing the thought process behind your interactions with the road and other users.

I guess that this might be another in the market of pursuing employers to put their drivers through additional training…

Do you know that the new AA Advanced Driving Diploma is currently being relaunched ?

Never heard of anyone doing it.

Eight years ago? Well, that means they can advertise it as 'long-established' or similar!

It's certainly another badge to collect for those that like that like to list all their "qualifications" after their name.
