KISS Driving Instructor Training

This was the line-up for Monday's instructor training day in Bishops Stortford. Neil, our latest recruit, is second from Left. Neil is practising for his ADI Part 2 - under the watchful eye of Gary (our ADI from Cambridge), Dave and Tony . Our thanks to two pupils, Ula and Shea, who are working towards their Practical Driving Test - and let trainees (Claire and Gerry) hone their instructional skills whilst fine tuning themselves for their driving tests later this week. KISS driving instructor raining days in Bishops Stortford occur most Mondays. Other KISS driving instructor training days in our commuting area, take place in Cambridge (Fridays), Goodmayes (Saturdays) and Barnet (Fridays).

An update on our Basingstoke training.  We held our first 'classroom' session this evening. We commandeered a corner of a local hotel and it worked well. We covered use of signals and pedestrian crossings. Some good positive comments at the end from everyone so we booked another one. It was attended by Zoe, Di, & Paul, our Basingstoke trainees, and Mekh came from Aldershot too. KISS driving instructor trainer Sally Hall is looking forward to the next one. 

Our weekly KISS Instructor Training Day in Bishops Stortford was well attended despite an unplanned pupil test which resulted in one of our Trainee Instructors needing to miss her training (whilst she prepared her pupil for an afternoon Practical Driving Test). Along for the day also were two pupils with Practical Driving Tests this week, Jack and Wes. Since Monday we can report that Jack passed his Test. Pupil Wes accompanied KISS ADI Instructor Sara, who has her Standards Check the following Day. Some fine tuning for Wes whose test is Wednesday. The overcast and sometimes wet day did not dampen spirits.

Our congratulations to Sara who undertook her Standards Check at the Bishops Stortford DVSA Test Centre on 4th November.  Sara showed how it should be done and attained a grade 'A' with her pupil Wes. The photo shows both with smiles on their faces shortly after Sara's SC.
