PDIADI | National Driving Instructor Development
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.

Yet, many learners (and sometimes instructors) don’t apply it effectively, leading to repeated errors and weaker driving habits. In this workshop, Kathy Higgins will take you step by step […]
As instructors, we work with pupils from all walks of life. But when English isn’t a pupil’s first language, the challenges of communication can multiply — for both learner and instructor. To be effective, safe, and inclusive, we need strategies that go beyond “speaking slower” or repeating ourselves. Building on our Basic Diversity Workshop, this […]
