SUMMARY:Back to Basics – Fault Identification
DESCRIPTION:Fault identification is one of the most critical skills an instructor can master — yet it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong under pressure. Miss a fault and progress slows. Step in too late and safety becomes a concern. Getting it right requires sharp observation\, confident timing\, and clear communication. \nwritten by Kathy Higgins Dip DI. F Inst MTD and Leanne Condliff DVSA ADI (Grade A)\, this workshop takes you back to the fundamentals of fault identification. You’ll refine your ability to spot issues early\, respond effectively\, and support learners with feedback that genuinely improves their driving. \nWhat You’ll Explore \n\nRecognising faults early — what to look for before issues escalate.\nKnowing when to step in — balancing safety with learner responsibility.\nResponding effectively — delivering clear\, constructive feedback that sticks.\nStaying confident in real time — keeping calm and focused under pressure.\nPractical tools and techniques you can apply immediately in lessons and tests.\n\nWho This Workshop Is For \n\nPDIs preparing for Part 3.\nADIs getting ready for their Standards Check.\nAny instructor wanting to strengthen their fault identification skills.\n\nWhy Attend \nBy the end of the workshop\, you will: \n\nSpot learner faults more quickly and accurately.\nKnow exactly when — and how — to intervene.\nDeliver feedback that leads to real improvement.\nBuild confidence for everyday lessons and test situations.\n\nSpaces are limited — book now and take your observation and coaching skills to the next level. \nReserve your seat

SUMMARY:How We Help People Fail Driving Tests
DESCRIPTION:“I teach safe driving for life—not just to pass a test.” I hear that often. But what I see when I sit in the back of ADI/PDI lessons tells a different story. \nIn this eye-opening workshop\, I’ll share how instructors—without even realising it—can sometimes be the reason a student doesn’t pass. Yes\, even those who “should’ve nailed it” or just “got too nervous.” \nDo these sound familiar:\n\nMaking mistakes on test day that they never made in lessons\nCrumbling under pressure despite being “ready”\nBlame falling on nerves or ‘stupid mistakes’\nWe practised that so many times but they still failed for it.\n\nBut what if some of that pressure was built during training? By you?\nJoin me as we uncover:\n✅ What’s in the instructors head can lead to test-day setbacks \n✅The gap between teaching to pass a test vs. safe driving for life \n✅Tips and techniques that you can start to implement in your very next session. \nWhether you’re working with learners or PDI’s\, this workshop could change the way you see your role. \nDiscover small differences you can make for big changes. \nLet’s rethink success—together.

SUMMARY:PMMFS – What on Earth Does That Mean?
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, with so many pupils looking for lessons\, it can feel like loyalty doesn’t matter. If one learner leaves\, another will be along soon… right? \nWrong. \nEvery instructor — no matter how skilled\, experienced\, or popular — loses pupils from time to time. But if it’s happening often\, it’s time to ask why. Sometimes small\, unnoticed patterns in your approach can quietly push learners away. Fixing them can turn pupils into long term advocates who stay with you\, recommend you\, and strengthen your reputation. \nAt Insight 2 Drive\, we don’t judge. We help. \nIn this supportive workshop\, written by Kathy Higgins Dip DI. F Inst MTD and Leanne Condliff DVSA ADI (Grade A)\, you’ll explore the PMMFS framework and learn how to keep pupils engaged\, loyal\, and excited to learn with you. \nWhat You’ll Explore \n\nWhy pupil loyalty matters — even when demand is high.\nRecognising themes — identifying habits or behaviours that cause learners to leave.\nPMMFS explained — what it means\, why it matters\, and how to apply it.\nTurning pupils into advocates — building trust\, loyalty\, and long-term relationships.\nSupport\, not judgement — how the training team helps you succeed.\n\nWho This Workshop Is For \n\nPDIs wanting to build strong foundations with pupils.\nADIs looking to retain more learners and grow their reputation.\nInstructors who want satisfied customers to become genuine fans of their teaching.\n\nWhy Attend \nBy the end of this session\, you will: \n\nUnderstand how to keep pupils engaged\, motivated\, and loyal.\nSpot simple but costly mistakes that may be losing your business.\nKnow how to build lasting relationships with learners.\nTurn happy pupils into brand advocates who recommend you and strengthen your reputation.\nSpaces are limited — book now and make sure your pupils keep coming back.\n\nReserve your place now!

SUMMARY:So What Is Great Feedback?
DESCRIPTION:As a driving instructor\, you give feedback every single day — but is it landing the way you intend? Feedback can accelerate a learner’s progress\, build confidence\, or stop development in its tracks. The difference lies in how you deliver it — and how it’s received. \nIn this interactive workshop\, written by Kathy Higgins Dip DI. F Inst MTD and Leanne Condliff DVSA ADI (Grade A)\, you’ll learn how to give feedback that genuinely makes an impact. You’ll explore the principles behind great feedback\, how to create a safe learning environment\, and how to turn mistakes into powerful learning moments. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nThe 5 Rules of Feedback — simple principles that transform communication.\nWhy words matter — tone\, phrasing\, and timing can change everything.\nNo wrong answers — building an environment where mistakes drive progress.\nFeedback that sticks — helping pupils act on feedback rather than ignore it.\nWhy great feedback is a game changer — for learners\, PDIs\, and ADIs alike.\n\nWho This Workshop Is For \n\nADIs wanting to improve lesson impact.\nPDIs preparing for assessments.\nTrainers\, mentors\, and instructors wanting stronger communication skills.\n\nWhy Attend \nBy the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\nGive constructive feedback with confidence.\nTurn mistakes into genuine learning opportunities.\nBuild stronger rapport with learners.\nBoost progress and success rates with clearer\, more effective communication.\n\nSpaces are limited — book your seat today and take your coaching skills to the next level. \nReserve your place today!
