Like every organisation that issues professional qualifications, we require all ADIs to maintain and update their skills.

Every two years you must:

• renew your registration with the RSA 
• pass a check test with the RSA  

The LDT Syllabus is a resource for the various stakeholders, Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs), sponsors and learners who are essential to developing better, safer drivers on our roads. The Syllabus will help ADIs prepare individual lesson plans around each unit and ensure that the lessons cover the key driving skills and behaviours. The LDT Syllabus also helps to demonstrate the breadth and extent of driving skills and behaviours and shows that a safe driver will have achieved complex learning outcomes.
