Welcome to a practical, inspiring one-day in-person workshop that will change how you think about lesson delivery.
Whether you're a seasoned ADI or a PDI still building your style, this one-day course will help you embed the DVSA’s National Standards into every lesson you deliver – in a way that’s truly client-centred and gets results.
This interactive training day is all about developing the confidence, language, and planning skills needed to deliver reflective, coaching-led lessons that tick all the DVSA boxes and help your pupils become safe, self-aware, independent drivers.
You’ll work in small groups throughout the day, exploring key techniques, questioning styles, and lesson structure ideas – all linked directly to the 17 DVSA competencies.
