Driving Instructor Training Courses
ADINJC Training & Continuous Development Courses
Continuous professional development for driving instructors is essential for your career and student success. By recording your CPD training, you can show the DVSA how you and your students benefit from essential courses.
At ADINJC, we help ADIs accelerate their career development with CPD driving instructor training courses delivered online and face-to-face by industry-leading professionals.
Accessing Driving Instructor Training
ADINJC firmly believe all PDIs and ADIs should commit to CPD (Continuing Professional Development) to highlight your dedication to the industry, enhance your career development, and support your students.
CPD training can consist of training courses, meetings and seminars, online webinars, recommended research, and networking events, all of which ADINJC offers its members and which you can access here.
Driving Instructor Workshops
We often deliver CPD training days to your local driving association, group, and driving schools. This helps to ensure your PDIs and ADIs have access to professional career development. We’ve worked with several local associations from York, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Berkshire, Essex, Mid Powys and Plymouth. We have also worked with individual driving schools and groups of instructors who want their drivers to enhance their skills and take yearly CPD. We will liaise with you to create a successful learning experience that meets your needs.
How it works:
- You provide the venue and we’ll come to you
- You provide refreshments for members and trainers
- You sell tickets to ADIs seeking career development
- ADINJC experts deliver driving instructor training
- The length of time, dates and costs can all be discussed with our team
- We can also deliver sessions by zoom for groups
