Driving Instructor ADI Continued Professional Development is something that is on many ADI’s minds at the moment due to the DSA’s expected implementation of a mandatory CPD scheme.

Currently ADIs do not need to undertake any CPD training as long as they meet the required standards at their check test. However, in order to make a career for you, earn that £30,000 and keep the job as interesting as possible, any successful instructor will be interested in how they can improve the service that they are providing.

There are many possible courses out there, from mechanical principles, business, and instructional techniques courses. Do some research and brush up your skills - it’s worth it.

What Makes Positive Different?

In the UK there are over 9,000 training companies. Worldwide it is estimated that there are over 200,000. Some are good and a few are very good. A small number are consistently outstanding. We believe that there are several characteristics of consistently outstanding training providers and we have focused our attention on the following areas:

* The Courses
* The Trainers
* The Service
* The Materials
* The Post-course Support

Whether you are attending a course yourself or you are sourcing and arranging training for other people, you will want to ensure that you always get:

Value for money - high quality training costs individuals and organisations hard-earned money and it is important that the money is well spent.
Value for time - it is vital that time spent on training courses is time well spent and that people learn real skills that make a difference to performance and motivation.

We focus on thinking as a source of competitive advantage and have put together a unique range of courses and workshops that will successfully address challenges that are real - and in so doing make a real difference to people - making them more effective and more efficient at work AND providing them with life skills that they can use and benefit from in many different ways:

The Courses - we have developed the best courses from around the world and have also developed our own courses so that our clients can enjoy a range of different, effective and motivating training courses, in a variety of delivery formats that they will not be able to find elsewhere.

The Trainers - ‘specialist’ and ‘expert’ are over-used terms. However by focusing on specific skills our trainers have the expertise in their chosen fields. All are passionate about the subjects they train in and are dedicated to constantly improving the quality and content of the training they provide.

The Service - a personal service is provided by thoughtful, thorough and professional people. We strive to ensure that the experience of working with Positive is a pleasure - before, during and after the training.

The Materials - everyone learns in different ways and providing appropriate and comprehensive supporting materials is a crucial element. Materials are constantly developed to ensure that they meet the changing needs of our clients.

The Post-course Support - our rigorous course follow-up and support mechanisms are in place to ensure that you are happy with what has been delivered. We will follow up your training with email updates and are developing a password protected MEMBERS AREA for course attendees that provides our clients with unparalleled access to additional support to reinforce their learning.
