The National Associations Strategic Partnership is a representative body focused on promoting the interests of Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs). It is formed of representatives of the three main membership associations for driver trainers in the UK. Our aim is to protect and promote the interests of professional drivers trainers and help support the profession in its goals to improve driving standards and road safety in the UK.

The Motor Schools Association of Great Britain (MSA GB) is one of the longest established national bodies for driver trainers in the world, having started back in 1935 just before the introduction of the driving test, it is the senior trade association for driver trainers in Britain. The association provides members with information both electronically and in print.

The DIA is more than just a membership — it’s a community of over 15,000 ADIs and driving instruction experts, all working to improve the industry together. They have close links with policy and decision makers in road safety and driver training, so that their members’ can seek real answers to their concerns.
