ADI Training & Professional Development
Continue Developing as a Driving Instructor
Qualifying as an Approved Driving Instructor is a significant achievement, but the best instructors understand that learning never stops.
Whether you're looking to refine your coaching skills, prepare for your next Standards Check or continue growing as a professional, ongoing development helps you stay confident, current and effective.
Phil Hirst provides personalised one-to-one ADI training designed to strengthen your instructional ability, improve lesson quality and support long-term success throughout your career.
Why Professional Development Matters
Great driving instructors never stop improving.
Every learner is different, teaching methods continue to evolve and DVSA expectations change over time. Regular professional development helps you stay current while giving you the confidence to reflect on your teaching, refine your coaching techniques and continue delivering exceptional lessons.
Professional development isn't about correcting mistakes.
It's about building on your experience and becoming an even more effective instructor.
What You'll Gain
One-to-One Coaching That Makes a Difference
Every instructor develops differently.
Some are preparing for a Standards Check, while others simply want to refresh their teaching techniques or become more confident working with a wider range of learners.
Rather than following a fixed programme, Phil tailors every coaching session to your experience, goals and teaching style.
Together, you'll identify opportunities for improvement, explore modern coaching techniques and develop practical strategies that enhance both your confidence and your learners' experience.
A typical session might include Q&A technique,feedback discussions, lesson planning, on-road risk management plus many more.
Professional Development Resources
Learning doesn't stop when your coaching session ends.
Phil has developed a range of professional resources to support qualified driving instructors as they continue refining their skills and expanding their knowledge.
Resources include:
- ADI Teaching System (ATS)
- ADI Trainer Handbook
- Training Support Pack (TSP)
- Complete PDI Training Support Pack
- Part 1 Study Guide and Part 2 & 3 Workbooks
These resources complement your practical coaching and provide valuable reference material long after your development sessions have finished.
