Driving Instructor CPD
This is just a quick post to say thanks to Nigel from Excelsior Training, and a couple of links for his training site.
The Fleet Instructor Diploma Course he runs is great - fully DSA approved, and all you need to do once you complete it is send off the old passport photos and registration fee to get your orange badge!
I've also got to thank him for all of his ORDIT Preparation Advice. I hope to be registered before the end of the year.
If you're thinking of Driving Instructor Training in Staffordshire, give him a bell. One of the few instructor trainers I trust to give me the right advice at the right time. Loads of experience (loads of qualifications!), and good advice.

Become a Driving Instructor.
There are lots of new careers out there that promise you the earth in return for a 'small' investment in training, and one of the most popular of these is becoming a driving instructor.
The main reason for this is that so many people already drive, and feel they have a headstart on it!
There is a lot more to it, hopefully this blog will give you a little more information before you jump in feet first.
First up, join the driving instructor forums, there's loads of them, and some can be a bit intimidating, but the best 2 would be Driver Training Today, and the ADI forum. Both of these have a large group of regular contributors, who give good honest advice about the job, and how best to train. Some research done here could save you thousands.
Now I'm not writing this blog for the fun of it, I am a trainer myself, and I run Beyond Driving, which has loads of information on Driving Instructor Training, Driving Instructor Books, along with News for instructors, links, and information about the industry itself.
So before you fall for the £30k plus a fully maintained car for working whenever you want - do a little research - the job can be hugely rewarding, but go in with your eyes open.
