Driving Instructor Training is becoming more and more commercialised recently - and we're really beginning to see problems ahead with the big commercial ADI training colleges.
So we thought we'd offer you a couple of resources that could really help you to understand whether to become a driving instructor or not.
Driving Instructor Training info from the Undercover ADI
Driving Instructor Training info from CDT

Driving Instructor Training Staffs & Derbyshire
We've just finished building the new website for Nigel Dawson's Excelsior Training. Some of you already know their Driving Instructor Training is great and their ADI CPD is now becoming one of the most important parts of their business.
If you want to know how to become a fleet driving instructor have a look at Nigel's Driving Instructor Fleet Diploma Course.
I'm not going to advertise his fleet training for him, but he does that as well!
So, if you're interested in any aspect of driving instructor training, have a look at:
The basic site was built by ourselves, with Nigel adding huge amounts of information to it himself. The site is fully adjustable and we are actively managing the SEO for it to ensure that the site turns up high on the searches.
If you are interested in having a site built by us - feel free to email - info@beyonddriving.co.uk.

My own CPD got in the way of posting!
But I've been doing training too!
Whatever stage of this career you are at you'll be doing some description of CPD (whether the DSA have proscribed it or not), so think carefully about where you want to go with your career and plan how best to spend your personal development budget.
If you're wondering what a "personal development budget" is when it's at home - well it's the amount of money you allocate to improve your skills and hopefully your profit margins!
The better the instructor, the more likely you are to get phone calls asking "when can you fit me in?" rather than "how much are your lessons?". You can also start to specialise and target a specific area with your training - this is what we've been doing over the last couple of months.
We've been working on the Fleet Driver Training side of the business, and from the start of December we will also be offering SAFED Training for Van Drivers - a course designed specifically to reduce fuel consumption and driver risk on the road for van drivers.
Alongside the commercial and van driver training for on-road purposes we will be offering full LANTRA 4x4 Training Courses for all 4x4 users (commercial vans and people carrying station wagons alike).

Auto Lessons
The auto lessons are proving a real hit, as is the car (Honda Jazz CVT), which is just far too easy to drive!
The usual comment after trying it is something along the lines of "why doesn't everyone do this?!" when they find out how much simpler it is to drive than a manual!
If you find yourself worrying about gear choices and clutch control when you'd much rather be thinking about the surrounding traffic and road users - try auto lessons - you can concentrate on what is going on outside the car rather than worrying about what is happening in the footwell!
You can have a look at our Automatic Driving Lessons and Automatic Intensive Driving Course sites.

Driving Instructor Training Course
I've finally got the course online. I can't provide a free trainer to go along with it, but it should help any PDI through the process.
Hopefully it'll also help any trainees to compare what they are being taught with an online resource, and may well be useful to look through for those working out who to train with.
Well, have a look at the Driving Instructor Training Course.
Otherwise, just go through the main site www.beyonddriving.co.uk or go to the Driving Instructor Training section.
Oh, and the whole site has changed, as has www.beyond4x4.co.uk!

DSA Test and Fee changes
The DSA are changing the fee structure for Driving Instructors and fees for driving licences are changing.
It also looks like people will no longer be able to sign a declaration if they have lost the paper counterpart to their licence.
See: Driving Instructor News at Beyond Driving.

Driving Instructor Training Course.
I've finally finished the driving instructor training manual for the course. It's got a little larger, and more comprehensive than before.
Section 1: Preparation - this section includes information on the legal responsibilities of the driving instructor, and how we introduce and inform our customers of these responsibilities.
Section 2: Instructional techniques - this section works on the instructor's key attributes and skills, including the levels of instruction and core competencies.
Section 3: Exam preparation - this section covers all of the PSTs.
Section 4: Running the business - this section includes invaluable information for instructors to go out and start earning money - something often lacking from traditional courses.
Or look at the ADI training course on the main site - www.beyonddriving.co.uk
And hopefully it should help instructors to come through the course with all of the skills they need, allowing them to work flexibly, and deal with as many situations as possible - useful skills for the part 3 exam and beyond!
Have a look at the whole syllabus at Driving Instructor Training Lancashire, Cumbria. Have a look at the course outline page.
