The driving and testing industry has undergone dramatic changes over the past few years. The many requirements involved in driving mean that, as an instructor, in addition to preparing pupils for the ordinary driving test you will need to deal with drivers at all levels of ability and be an effective teacher who can develop safe attitudes in your pupils.
The Driving Instructor's Handbook is widely recognized in the driver training industry as the authoritative reference guide for trainee instructors. It covers every aspect of the profession, from the role and the characteristics needed to do the job well, preparation for the three ADI examination requirements (Theory and hazard perception, Driving ability and Instructional ability), through to the driving test, business skills and customer care, and driving larger vehicles. This, the fifteenth edition, has been fully updated to include sections on fleet driver training, the LGV register, CPC for lorry drivers and information about the Road Safety Act.
This best-selling handbook is also valuable reading for experienced instructors as well as trainees. You will be able to update your knowledge and business style so that your methods are comparable to newly qualified competitors who may have had more thorough training.
