Thinking about becoming a driving instructor – or already supporting PDIs through their training? Then this episode is essential listening.

In this eye-opening edition of Motormouth, we go beyond the sales pitch to uncover the reality of PDI and ADI training in the UK. Because not all training is created equal – some is outstanding, some is poor, and far too much is simply average.

Hosted by Graham Hooper, Head of Driver Training Development at the DIA, this panel discussion brings together some of the most experienced and respected voices in the industry:

• Kathy Higgins – Owner of a multi-car driving school, NDORS Training Quality Monitor, and Secretary of the Institute of Master Tutors of Driving (IMTD)
• Andrew Love – Head Trainer at Let’s Instruct Driving Instructor Academy and experienced ORDIT-registered ADI Trainer
• Mirza Taufiq Baig – Founder of Smile School of Motoring, CPD specialist, and Grade A (51/51) ADI
• Graham Hooper – DIA lead trainer and ADI development expert

They tackle the questions many don’t want to answer:

• Who is really training you – and are they qualified to do so?
• What should proper instructor training include – and what’s missing from many courses?
• Are you buying a job, or building a business?
• And what’s hidden in that contract you’re about to sign?

Whether you’re just starting out or mentoring future instructors, this honest and insightful discussion could save you time, money – and a lot of unnecessary frustration.
