KISS Driving Instructor Training School Asks DSA for Clarifications

Here are some more Freedom of Information requests our PR guru Brian is considering throwing at the DSA :

1. The DSA survey states that only 40% of PDIs apply for a trainee licence - can you please show the figures that were used for statement.

2. With regard to the recent survey on driving instructor training can you please supply a breakdown of respondents in the following categories
  • How many are active ADIs
  • How many are retired ADIs
  • How many are active PDIs
  • How many are PDIs that failed to qualify
  • How many are trainers on the  ORDIT register
  • How many are trainers not on the ORDIT register
  • How many are driving schools
  • How many are independent ADIs
  • How many are driving examiners or employees of the DSA
  • How many are members of the general public not included in the above categories.

 We anticipate we may get an answer to question 1 and doubt we will get an answer to 2. If that’s the case the results of their survey will be undermined. Can anyone think of any more questions? Please send your comments/questions via our contact form on our website.

To achieve this we promise and deliver unlimited training  and we dont encourgae trainees to take tests until they are ready. Why not call now to  join us for a free driving instructor training session.  

Driving Instructor Training in Cambridge

KISS Trainer Gary is doing one to one ADI Training in Cambridge with Slawa and Jerry today. Both of these guys are really working hard to become a driving instructor in their areas, which are Corby and Peterborough. We anticipate both will complete their driving instructor training programme in the next two to three months. KISS Trainers are all trained in-house to deliver our own unique client centred learning techniques using our unique training aids. ADI Part 3 training can be easy when the trainee is given the right material and training to develop their skills, which is why we can promise a 95% succes rate.

Should we use a sledge hammer to crack a nut?

The DSA have shown, over the last ten years or more they are unable to drive through change and they certainly haven’t demonstrated how they would train instructors to meet their currently stated  needs. In Germany trainee instructors go to university for six months to study phsycology. Ask a Part 3 examiner ‘why do you want to drive’ and you are likely get the response ‘what’s that got to do with anything’. The first issue is that there are too many trainers with insufficient knowledge to train instructors, particularly in the skills of ‘client centred learning. Similarly they will not be able to deliver coaching skills training, essential to delivering the higher levels of the GDE Matrix. Has DSA considered how this is going to be addressed as without a higher level of competence the instructors will be unable to deliver the driver standards syllabus. The flaws as we see it in the DSA argument for their preferred option are as follows: DSA endorsed the Hermes project f
