The DL25 explained by a retired DVSA examiner

Ever wondered exactly what examiners are thinking when they mark the DL25? This is your chance to find out, straight from someone who’s been on the other side of the clipboard.

Join Kathy Higgins & Leanne Condliff for this unique workshop with special guest Ted, a retired DVSA examiner for both Cat B and Cat A tests. Ted will break down how faults are recorded on the DL25 and explain what really separates a minor from a serious or dangerous fault.

What You’ll Explore

• Not worthy faults - what they are (and why they don’t get marked).
• Driver faults - how they’re recorded and why they matter.
• Serious faults - what tips an error into this category.
• Dangerous faults - the red line every pupil must avoid.
• Examiner insight - what goes through their mind when marking.

Who’s It For?

• PDIs preparing for Part 3 or looking to understand fault marking better.
• ADIs supporting learners through their driving tests.
• Trainers, mentors, and instructors who want a real examiner's perspective.

• Understand exactly how faults are judged and recorded.
• Be able to explain fault categories clearly to your learners.
• Gain confidence in preparing pupils for test-day performance.
