Bishops Stortford Training Day

Bishops Stortford Training Day (most Mondays 9am-2pm) continues to prove a popular venue, not because of the humungous size of portions produced by the local burger bar, but because of the range of local routes and practice areas around Bishops Stortford, including Stansted Airport's dual carriageway (A120) and Motorway routes (M11), assisted by what must be KISS's best ADI trainers North of the Thames.

A helpful supply of genuine pupils for our trainee ADIs is usually ensured - these are invited by their KISS instructors, typically at intermediate or advanced stages of their preparation for their Practical Driving Test.

KISS Driving Instructors (male and female) are mostly impervious to the weather, and so rain, snow, sun or high winds seldom prevent those willing souls from attending.

Trainee instructors Gerry, Slav and Claire continue to make great sacrifices in terms of distance to further their preparation for Part III - and regular appearances by Gary and Dave (overseeing standards), including cameo appearances by Sara (from Alicante). Local Trainers Tony, Steve and James represent the local expertise.

In this week's photo are Dave, Gary and Jack (a pupil) - others were out training.

Nice to see Kevin one of our ADI's turn up to help deliver our Driving Instructor Training to five trainees.

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
