Lets look at a typical scenario.......
Joe Blogs calls up Driving Instructor A and Driving Instructor B.
The first question that is asked to both instructors is, “what is your pass rate?”
Instructor A replies, “for the last 6 months I have had 10 tests with 7 out of 10 passes so a 70% pass rate.”
Instructor B replies, “for the last 6 months I have had 10 tests with 5 out of 10 passes so a 50% pass rate.”
Joe Blogs decides to book his first driving lesson with Instructor A who has a 70% pass rate.
If you take both pass rates at face value it looks like the instructor with the highest pass rate is the best choice to learn to drive with.
Lets look at the real truth in those pass rate percentages:
Instructor A has 7 test passes against their name.
The 7 pupils who passed their driving test have only undertaken 2 hours of driving tuition with Instructor A.
All 7 pupils had completed 40 hour training courses with different instructors before they came to Manchester.
This means that their previous instructors had put in all the hard work and you have guessed it – as Instructor A took them for test he / she was awarded the test pass against their name.
The other 3 pupils who Instructor A took for test had learnt from the beginning with Instructor A but they all failed their driving test.
Instructor B has 5 test passes against their name.
The 5 test passes which Instructor B has are from pupils which Instructor B taught from the beginning, up to test standard.
These 5 pupils had only undertaken driving lessons with Instructor B. The other 5 pupils who Instructor B took for test, had undertaken courses with other driving instructors previously and only used Instructor B for 2 hours practice each before undertaking their driving tests.
What can we conclude ?
Now that we have looked behind what can constitute a pass rate, it has become clear that a driving instructor can generate a high pass rate by riding on the back of another driving instructors hard work.
The reality based on the above scenario is that all the pupils who were taught by Instructor A from start to finish had failed their driving test. All the pupils who had been taught by Instructor B from start to finish had passed their driving test.
It has become clear that booking driving lessons as a beginner SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON A DRIVING INSTRUCTORS PASS RATE AS THIS IS NOT AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF A DRIVING INSTRUCTORS TRUE TEACHING SKILLS.
