Diversity of Pupils

Kathy Higgins   Share

Friday 13th February 2026 @ 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

£40.00

Every pupil is different — and as instructors, our success depends on how well we embrace those differences. From personality types and behaviours to cultural backgrounds and expectations, diversity is something every ADI and PDI will encounter daily. How we respond can shape both the learner’s experience and our business reputation.

Join Kathy Higgins & Leanne Condliff for an engaging, face-to-face workshop exploring the importance of diversity and inclusion in driver training.

✅ What You’ll Explore:

  • What is Diversity & Inclusion? – And why it matters for instructors.
  • The business impact – Why this could be the most important thing you do.
  • Dealing with awkward customers – Turning challenges into positive outcomes.
  • Embracing diversity – Learning from and adapting to your pupils.
  • Professional standards – How to treat every pupil fairly and consistently.

👩‍🏫 Who’s It For?
PDIs preparing for Part 3 or entering the industry.
ADIs who want to strengthen their customer service and teaching approach.
Anyone looking to build a more inclusive and successful business.

🎯 Why Attend?
By the end of this workshop, you’ll:

Better understand diversity and inclusion in the training environment.
Have strategies for handling tricky or “awkward” customer situations.
Feel confident in adapting your teaching and communication to different learners.
Enhance your reputation as a professional, inclusive instructor.
