Overview
Driving Examiners assess whether learner drivers (& riders) are safe and competent to drive independently on our roads. This work saves lives. We are looking for proactive, friendly, and safe drivers who'd like to train to become Driving Examiners. Driving Examiners come from all walks of life: you don't need a background in driver training or a driving-related profession to join us. Driving examiners assess practical driving tests, but do not teach people to drive - this is a separate role carried out by driving instructors who are not employed by DVSA.
