KISS Driving Instructor Training

A great attendance at our weekly training day for pdis this week. It was great to see Paul participating even though his part one hasnt been booked yet! Well done for your commitment Paul. AFI Neil Turner said he was pleased to have signed off Andy WOODGER from Salisbury for his trainee licence, he has shown great commitment too and will make a fine addition to KISS DRIVING SCHOOL and Instructor Training is the Salisbury area!! Very pleasing. Also, well done to Ollie who seems to have conquered her role play issues at long last! Lastly, huge thanks to Albert and David ELLERSHAW for their continues help and support. Looking forward to Friday!

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 Dav...

Well it poured with rain but we didn't let it put us off our first instructor training session in Basingstoke. From left to right, Zoe, Sally (ADI) , Paul, Di, and Michelle. We look forward to making this a weekly event and attracting more trainees to KISS driving instructor training sessions.

Gary from Cambridge set up a training day which he hopes will be a regular occurrence in his area. Gerry from Peterborough participated and is continuing with his ADI Part III training which is going well. He is enjoying great success whilst on his pink badge, building up a substantial client base. Gerry will shortly be taking his Part III examination in Peterborough to become a fully qualified instructor. Slav from Corby was undergoing Part I, II and III driver instructor training. Tony from Bishop's Stortford came down to help and David was here casting his expert eye over proceedings.

We are so pleased to welcome 2 new trainee instructors to KISS driver training. Diane is from Hatch Warren near Basingstoke & Paul is from Basingstoke town centre. We are so busy in the Basingstoke area and we can't wait to get them up & running, that'll take some of the pressure off. Paul has been working in the area of training previously, so hopefully that will help him in his new career. We threw him in the deep end when we recently helped out at the road safety event at Brockenhurst, he coped admirably and really enjoyed himself, it looks like he'll make a very good instructor. Diane decided to start her new career when her son took lessons with our instructor Michelle. Well done Michelle, what an inspiration you must be. We are also starting Instructor training sessions in Basingstoke on 4th Oct, this will add to the already established training at various locations in the South East, & we welcome anyone to come along and see what we do.
