Today I was out observing one of our driving instructors during a live lesson in Northampton
Why?
Because we believe ongoing coaching is one of the biggest investments we can make in our instructors and, ultimately, our learners.
For trainee instructors on a PDIs trainee licence, we encourage as much of the required 20 hours of additional training as possible to be completed in the car, working with real learners in real situations.
Nothing beats live experience.
Even after qualifying, regular lesson observations help us share ideas, refine coaching techniques and ensure every learner receives the highest standard of tuition.
Learning doesn’t stop when you qualify. We invest time and effort in our instructors to ensure they maintain the highest standards.
Thinking about becoming a driving instructor? We’d love to show you how we do things differently.
