Understanding the role of an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)

Posted on July 30th, 2008 by admin, under Driving Instructor, Driving Tips.

Approved Driving Instructors are professionally qualified to give advice and have the correct knowledge regarding driving procedures and driving test requirements. They have received Driving Instructor training in order to teach driving skills to learner drivers and have received tuition relating to the driving test. When you become a Driving Instructor you will be trained to teach driving skills in a structured manner to suit differing abilities.

Approved Driving Instructor

Formal tuition can only be given by a trainee Instructor, or a qualified Driving Standards Agency, Approved Driving Instructor (DSA ADI), who can also help structure the private practice.

Many learner drivers only have driving lessons for one or two hours per week and their driving experience is limited to driving at the same time of day and over the same roads. Accompanying a learner driver is a good way of helping your friends or relatives become safe drivers. It’s a team effort involving you, the learner driver and the Driving Instructor.

Working together is the best way of ensuring everyone’s aim of safe driving for life.

How Surepass Instructor Training will improve road safety

Posted on July 9th, 2008 by admin, under Driving Instructor, Driving Tips.

There are lots of reasons and excuses why an accident occurs. The end result is that the driver is usually responsible in some way. However if drivers have good concentration, observe and anticipate the actions of other road users then this will help them to stay alert and they will have more time to deal with hazards. By giving themselves “time” they will also be allowing for “other peoples errors”.

Road Safety

Surepass Driving Instructor Training Courses deal with the novice driver through to the more advanced. Our trainers are aware that chances are a novice driver will be involved in a road accident within their first year of passing the test, especially during the first six months. The courses are designed, not only to enable a provisional Instructor to qualify but also:

  1. Understand the legal requirements and responsibilities of supervising the learner driver
  2. Understand the role of the Driving Instructor
  3. Understand the role of the Driving Standards Agency and its examiners
  4. Know how to effectively encourage and support the “L” driver
  5. Gain experience in hazard awareness and perception to an advanced level

The above skills coupled with our bespoke Driver Training will undoubtedly contribute to the reduction in the 38,800 road user injuries each year which involve at least one driver with less than two years post-test experience.

Training to be a Surepass Driving Instructor is not just about the cheapest course, the job at the end, the earning potential, its also about learning to help young drivers (and old) understand the risks and responsibilities they are undertaking everytime they get behind the wheel of the car. Surepass Instructor Trainers are passionate about providing professional instruction in the most effective way to help reduce the number of fatalities on our roads. If its your concern too then let Surepass train you to become the type of Instructor the DSA require.
