SUMMARY:Mind Mapping – Their Brain Dump
DESCRIPTION:This is a certificated Zoom Workshop delivered by Fiona Taylor.\nIn this workshop\, Fiona will be looking at ‘Mind Mapping’ in a fresh new way. \nMind Mapping (or Brain Mapping\, Spray Diagrams or Spidergrams) are a way to get information ‘out’ before ordering and collating it into a useful format for development. \nOnce you unleash your Driver’s scaling potential\, you can add Mind Mapping techniques to form new ideas\, link ideas and visualise relationships between old and new information. It also maps out the options for the next steps and future steps. It’s totally client-centred\, too! \nThe potential of these techniques is limited solely by your imagination! \nCombining Mind Mapping techniques offers a solution-focused approach to common problems such as these examples: \n“Yes… but I just want to give the test a go!\n“My Dad only had 10 hours\, and the waiting list is so long!”\n“Shall I check my mirrors now? Shall I signal now?\n“Shall I change gear now?”\n“Yes\, I know you’ve told me loads of times\, but I just can’t remember what you told me to do or when to do it?”\nThis course combines Client-Centred\, engaging training techniques to give you solutions to these issues and more. \nIf you want that feeling at the end of the day that your efforts are matched by your Drivers\, plus seeing the results that you want\, then this course is for you. \nReview\nMind Mapping – Their Brain Dump\n“I wasn’t too sure what to expect from today’s Mind Mapping – Their Brain Dump zoom course. However\, I can honestly say that I do feel I have learned a lot today and have gained some great new ideas\, not just from Fiona but also from other ADI’s and PDI’s who were on the course.\nI really liked Fiona’s calm and relaxed approach\, and she made me feel at ease with her\, “no question is a stupid question” and “there are no right or wrong answers” ethos. My favourite part was Emily’s Story. Partly because I can recognise this in some of my own pupils. It was great to have an example that was easy to relate to!\nI shall certainly be trying mind mapping in the future! And am also keen to try some of Fiona’s other courses\, especially the scaling course. I believe she is in the process of writing another course\, which is due to go live early next year\, so I can’t wait to see what that is all about too!\nI love Fiona’s ability to be so passionate\, but without coming across as being over-bearing or persuasive. She is always keen for others to ask questions and have their own input to aid their own learning. All round a great course\, that I would thoroughly recommend to any ADI or PDI\, but especially those with SC’s coming up or anybody wanting to take a fresh look at their own teaching methods.”\nSarah English

SUMMARY:Scaling - The Key to Better Conversations
DESCRIPTION:This is a certificated Zoom Workshop delivered by Fiona Taylor. In this workshop\, Fiona will be looking at ‘Scaling’ in a fresh new way. \nScaling can be as basic as 4 out of 5 stars or even a score of 8 out of 10.\n– OR\nIt can be a way for a multitude of information and details to be explored that may not be evident from an initial glance at the number (or indeed a star) rating alone. How often do you read the full Reviews to see ‘why’ a product has 4.5 stars? Does the rest of the information matter to you? Knowing a number does not provide solutions or results\, nor a plan of action. \nThere is so much more to scaling than the number itself. \nEngaging in this workshop will demonstrate practically how scaling on a deeper level is a really powerful tool for you to explore and develop in your unique way as an ADI or PDI.\nYour Drivers will love the results they see\, too! The course also helps with techniques for engaging people who are reluctant to Scale themselves. \nThis course combines Client-Centred\, engaging training techniques to give you solutions to these issues and more. \nIf you want to feel that your efforts are matched by your Drivers at the end of the day\, plus see the results that you want\, then this course is for you. \nReview\nI took the scaling course with Fiona Taylor online.\nReally interesting and it works. I’ve been doing this job for 30 years and there is always more to learn and improve.\nUsed it with 3 pupils since and all improved\, enjoyed and better still gave more interaction during lesson.\nThanks Fiona!\nSue Curry \nReview \nFiona’s scaling course was an absolute pleasure to be a part of\, until now I never realised how scaling could be used as such a powerful analytical tool\, but in a very positive success based way. Thank you Fiona can’t wait to try it out on my students!\nIwan Williams

SUMMARY:Structuring a great driving lesson
DESCRIPTION:Does this sound familiar? Seen it before?  “a poorly structured lesson\, please seek further development “.  This class will help you understand how to structure a lesson to the point where you will just do the same on your part 3 or Standards Check Test. A good lesson should have a start a middle and en end. \n\nWhy is structure so important?\nWhy it should be present on all lessons.\nWhy the structure should fit in with a structure of the journey from the 1st lesson to a first-time pass.

SUMMARY:Busting Coaching Myths
DESCRIPTION:If you ‘sometimes coach & sometimes instruct’ or have the belief that ‘I’m asking questions so I must be coaching’ or even ‘coaching is asking what they want to do’ then this workshop is for you. \nCoaching is so often misunderstood in our industry\, leading to mixed information and confusion. With years of experience as a qualified driving coach & tutor I’ll dispel the myths surrounding coaching. \nI’ll delve into what coaching truly means…..and what it definitely isn’t! (You might be surprised!) By the end of this workshop you will have discovered a deeper understanding of how coaching works and the vital role it plays in the world of road safety and the impact it can have on post-test driving. \nJoin me\, and together\, we’ll transform the way you approach coaching\, leaving you with the confidence and techniques to really make a difference to the young people you help. Don’t let misconceptions hold you back; let’s debunk the myths and elevate your coaching skills together.

SUMMARY:The Games People Play
DESCRIPTION:The Games People Play with Terry Lefteri. \nDue to popular demand this light-hearted look at some ‘games’ you can play in your lessons to aid learning and understanding is back. \nThere’s nothing like it when learning doesn’t feel like learning. Some clever people in white coats call it Gamification and we will delve into the science & research that shows why game play is such an effective learning tool. \nJoin me and find out how playing ‘Save the Fish’ works wonders for planning & controls or how ‘Red Hiding Mirrors’ can solve mirror issues or how ‘Pedestrian Looky Liky’ can take scanning to another level or even how ‘A Day at the Zoo’ can help calm & relax your customers….plus many more tried and tested games that can help you add that extra magic dust to your driving lessons.

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:Scaling - the Key to Better Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Scaling – The Bigger PictureCertificated Zoom Workshop with Fiona Taylor ADI \nFiona will be looking at ‘Scaling’ in a fresh new way. \nScaling can be as basic as 4 out of 5 stars or even a score of 8 out of 10.\n– OR\nIt can be a way for a multitude of information and details to be explored that may not be evident from an initial glance at the number (or indeed a star) rating alone.

SUMMARY:Mind Mapping – their brain dump
DESCRIPTION:This is a certificated Zoom Workshop delivered by Fiona Taylor.\nIn this workshop\, Fiona will be looking at ‘Mind Mapping’ in a fresh new way. \nMind Mapping (or Brain Mapping\, Spray Diagrams or Spidergrams) are a way to get information ‘out’ before ordering and collating it into a useful format for development. \nOnce you unleash your Driver’s scaling potential\, you can add Mind Mapping techniques to form new ideas\, link ideas and visualise relationships between old and new information. It also maps out the options for the next steps and future steps. It’s totally client-centred\, too! \nThe potential of these techniques is limited solely by your imagination! \nCombining Mind Mapping techniques offers a solution-focused approach to common problems such as these examples: \n“Yes… but I just want to give the test a go!\n“My Dad only had 10 hours\, and the waiting list is so long!”\n“Shall I check my mirrors now? Shall I signal now?\n“Shall I change gear now?”\n“Yes\, I know you’ve told me loads of times\, but I just can’t remember what you told me to do or when to do it?”\nThis course combines Client-Centred\, engaging training techniques to give you solutions to these issues and more. \nIf you want that feeling at the end of the day that your efforts are matched by your Drivers\, plus seeing the results that you want\, then this course is for you. \nReview\nMind Mapping – Their Brain Dump\n“I wasn’t too sure what to expect from today’s Mind Mapping – Their Brain Dump zoom course.

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:The Principles of Adapting Lessons to Take Your Grade from a B to an A
DESCRIPTION:Knowing how and when to adapt the session to meet the driver’s needs is essential for achieving a high grade when assessed by the DVSA. \nKeeping your focus on the driver and the environment will help you recognise when and what to adapt. \nDuring the session\, Andrew will discuss how to recognise driver errors using all of your senses and identify the root cause of what has happened\, shaping the new needs throughout the session.  Once the root cause has been established\, help the driver recognise that the skills they have already gained can be used to overcome the current error. \nDuring training sessions\, it’s crucial to focus on transferable skills. For example:\n\nSpatial Awareness\, demonstrated in parking or lane discipline\, is a skill that can be used to navigate tight spaces or anticipate the actions of other road users.\nSpeed Control and Judgement: Developed in residential areas\, this can later be safely adapted for highways or overtaking.\nObservation and Hazard Perception: Built through structured scanning techniques\, which can be applied in high-stress situations like intersections or adverse weather.\n\nThe 5 takeaways from the session are:\n\nRecognising foundation driving skills\nUnderstanding how to chunk skills down into the essential components\nDevelop those skills by applying them in new situations\nCreating thinking drivers\nDeveloping the driver’s self-evaluation skills

It also maps out the options for the next steps and future steps. It’s totally client-centred\, too! \nThe potential of these techniques is limited solely by your imagination! \nCombining Mind Mapping techniques offers a solution-focused approach to common problems such as these examples: \n“Yes… but I just want to give the test a go!\n“My Dad only had 10 hours\, and the waiting list is so long!”\n“Shall I check my mirrors now? Shall I signal now?\n“Shall I change gear now?”\n“Yes\, I know you’ve told me loads of times\, but I just can’t remember what you told me to do or when to do it?”\nThis course combines Client-Centred\, engaging training techniques to give you solutions to these issues and more. \nIf you want that feeling at the end of the day that your efforts are matched by your Drivers\, plus seeing the results that you want\, then this course is for you. \nReview\nMind Mapping – Their Brain Dump\nI wasn’t too sure what to expect from today’s Mind Mapping – Their Brain Dump zoom course. However\, I can honestly say that I do feel I have learned a lot today and have gained some great new ideas\, not just from Fiona but also from other ADI’s and PDI’s who were on the course.\nI really liked Fiona’s calm and relaxed approach\, and she made me feel at ease with her\, “no question is a stupid question” and “there are no right or wrong answers” ethos. My favourite part was Emily’s Story. Partly because I can recognise this in some of my own pupils. It was great to have an example that was easy to relate to!\nI shall certainly be trying mind mapping in the future! And am also keen to try some of Fiona’s other courses\, especially the scaling course. I believe she is in the process of writing another course\, which is due to go live early next year\, so I can’t wait to see what that is all about too!\nI love Fiona’s ability to be so passionate\, but without coming across as being over-bearing or persuasive. She is always keen for others to ask questions and have their own input to aid their own learning. All round a great course\, that I would thoroughly recommend to any ADI or PDI\, but especially those with SC’s coming up or anybody wanting to take a fresh look at their own teaching methods.\nSarah English

SUMMARY:Scaling - the Key to Communication
DESCRIPTION:Scaling – The Bigger PictureCertificated Zoom Workshop with Fiona Taylor ADI \nFiona will be looking at ‘Scaling’ in a fresh new way. \nScaling can be as basic as 4 out of 5 stars or even a score of 8 out of 10.\n– OR\nIt can be a way for a multitude of information and details to be explored that may not be evident from an initial glance at the number (or indeed a star) rating alone. How often do you read the full Reviews to see ‘why’ a product has 4.5 stars? Does the rest of the information matter to you? Knowing a number does not provide solutions or results\, nor a plan of action. \nThere is so much more to scaling than the number itself. \nEngaging in this workshop will demonstrate practically how scaling on a deeper level is a really powerful tool for you to explore and develop in your unique way as an ADI or PDI.\nYour Drivers will love the results they see\, too! The course also helps with techniques for engaging people who are reluctant to Scale themselves. \nThis course combines Client-Centred\, engaging training techniques to give you solutions to these issues and more. \nIf you want to feel that your efforts are matched by your Drivers at the end of the day\, plus see the results that you want\, then this course is for you. \nReview\n“I took the scaling course with Fiona Taylor online.\nReally interesting and it works. I’ve been doing this job for 30 years and there is always more to learn and improve.\nUsed it with 3 pupils since and all improved\, enjoyed and better still gave more interaction during lesson.\nThanks Fiona!”\n– Sue Curry \nReview \n“Fiona’s scaling course was an absolute pleasure to be a part of\, until now I never realised how scaling could be used as such a powerful analytical tool\, but in a very positive success based way. Thank you Fiona can’t wait to try it out on my students!”\n– Iwan Williams
