Instructor Training Portsmouth
Pay as you go from £40 per hour.
You have worked hard to become an Approved Driving Instructor, and your busy diary relies on recommendations. They will only come if you consistently deliver driving lessons that make your pupils satisfied that they have chosen well in selecting you as their Instructor.
Standards need to be maintained and improved, but without someone monitoring your in-car sessions, it is very easy for those to drop. Continued professional development will help maintain and improve your instructional ability and techniques. It is important to stay up to date with industry changes to ensure customer satisfaction and improve your own job satisfaction.
Chris can provide help and support in many ways and is very passionate about driver education and helping fellow Instructors enhance their skills. The Standards Check is new, and many seem worried they may struggle to satisfy the requirements.
If you are one of those Instructors, a good place to start your preparation is to read ADI 1 Chapter 4 and review the National Standards for Driver and Rider training. These two documents will give you an insight into what the check is about and the criteria you will be expected to meet. Having read the documents, if you are still worried you may struggle or feel you don't understand any aspect, contact Chris today!

Manoeuvres Manoeuvring is defined by the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) as any car movement that involves reversing or turning. We all do it regularly without thinking, such as reversing into or out of our driveways, parking behind our neighbour's car, or turning around when we enter a cul-de-sac by mistake! The manoeuvres required on the driving test are set to simulate these everyday occurrences. So, we know you can do them, but can you…

Part 2 Demonstration Drive I thought providing a video of a demonstration drive to a part 2 standard might be useful. In the following video, I discuss various aspects of the test.

If you have any questions regarding this or any of the…

For trainers working with new instructors, commentary driving is invaluable—it offers a glimpse into the instructor’s mindset, helping trainers assess their trainees' situational awareness, decision-making, and…
