Welcome to The Driving Instructor Convention in association with Drive.Day! "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." That’s why we shook things up last year—and it paid off! Now, we’re back with the same dynamic format but an even bigger and better experience at our new venue.

We’ve lined up 13 top-tier speakers - some flying solo, others teaming up - to deliver fresh insights and to share their deeper industry knowledge. The morning kicks off with some of the industry’s most respected trainers, followed by a power-packed DVSA session with their three-person team. In the afternoon, expect expert training tips, business advice, and a deep dive into GDL with our resident doctor. We wrap up with an inspiring motivational speaker to send you off fired up for the challenges ahead.

A huge thank you to our headline sponsor, Drive.Day, whose intelligent app is revolutionising how instructors run their businesses. Our Gold sponsor, Pass N Go Driving School, returns with its cutting-edge racing simulator and both have some fantastic prizes up for grabs on their stands.

Make the most of the networking opportunities - connect with fellow instructors, explore the latest industry innovations, and take advantage of exclusive event-only offers from 30 exhibitors across our two exhibitor rooms.

Their support makes this event possible and affordable, so be sure to engage with them.

Thank you for being part of the UK’s premier event for driving instructors.

From all of us at Intelligent Instructor and ADINJC, we hope you have a fantastic day - and well done for doing something different!

Welcome from our headline sponsor Welcome to the ADINJC & Intelligent Instructor Convention 2025!

We are delighted to sponsor this incredible event and introduce the next generation of instructor diary management—a system we are immensely proud of.

At Drive.Day, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Our app, fully built in-house, has been designed and developed from the ground up, shaped by invaluable feedback from instructors like you. Everything you need is in one place, eliminating the need for multiple screens to complete simple tasks—because managing your business should be seamless, not complicated.

Our intelligent diary goes beyond scheduling—featuring journey time calculations based on real-time traffic, a pupil tagging system to keep your pupils organised, and much more.

And this is just the beginning! We are actively developing new features, including a driving school management view to oversee multiple instructors and pupils, set for release in the near future.

We’d like to thank everyone who has already signed up and is enjoying our one-year free trial. If you haven’t yet, today is your chance—download the app and secure this exclusive offer!

Come and chat with us for a demo or to learn more—we’d love to show you how Drive.Day can transform your business.

Effective observations Tom Stenson Head of Training, ADINJC & Co-founder, Drive-Up Training

Biography

Tom is a Grade A ORDIT registered trainer who delivers all aspects of training to PDIs, ADIs, and instructor trainers. He still teaches learners, too.

Session

Effective observations In this session, we will be looking at compelling observations. Observing effectively is an essential skill for any driver. However, deficiencies in the brain don’t always allow us to do that. We will

12

cover some of these deficiencies, such as why “Look, but failed to see” can be a common factor in road crashes. We will also discuss what driver trainers can potentially do to help learners overcome some of these.

What will be the five take-outs from this session?

1. Y ou can’t always trust what you think you see!

2. How our eyes work and how our brain perceives this information 3. What “Look But Fail to See” is, and how we might include training in our lessons 4. Strategies to overcome some of the brain deficiencies when observing 5. Why do drivers miss large coloured road signs?

Biographies

Session

Identifying and working with the most common causes of driving nerves and anxiety This session will go into more detail about how to identify and then work with some of the most common causes of driving nerves and anxiety. The reason behind a driver’s anxiety will

14

change how you work with them, so we will share some simple questions to help you do the detective work to find out more. We look at three common causes in more detail, what to look for, and some tips to help.

What will be the five takeouts from this session?

1.

Understand the most common causes of nerves and anxiety 2. Have some simple questions to help you pinpoint the cause of your student 3. A better understanding of negative thinking habits and how to help 4. To know what to look for to spot when a fear of passing is holding someone back 5.

Can toddlers sprint?

Mike Fowler Senior Trainer, DRIVE Driving School

Biography

Mike helps PDIs and ADIs maximise their potential as driving instructors, emphasising the importance of selfdevelopment and reflection to help them be their best.

Session

GDE: Can toddlers sprint?

In the post-COVID era, most instructors have had to prepare for a shorter Part 3 / Standards Check test, which could affect how they approach the highest levels of the NSDRT (National Standard for Driver and Rider Training) and their day-to-day lessons. We’ll explore barriers for instructors targeting these

16

levels and look at how to encourage learners to self-evaluate based on the GDE (Goals for Driver Education) Matrix.

What will be the five takeouts from this session?

1. How using the NSDRT and GDE Matrix can create safer drivers 2. How can the high levels of driver training never be met if you don’t build a firm foundation?

3. The pitfalls of the higher levels of driver behaviour 4. Creating good habits to use as an instructor to target higher levels 5. How will these levels affect your Part 3 or Standards Check?

Bias awareness in driver training Stewart Lochrie Chairman, ADINJC & Founder, Bright Coaching

Biography

Stewart is the Founder of Bright Coaching, Chair at the ADINJC, and MD at Caledonian Driver Training, which was Intelligent Instructor’s Regional Driving School of the Year ‘23.

Session

Bias awareness in driver training One of the key principles of the Safe System is that we all make mistakes.

Yes, even driving instructors.

Cognitive biases, such as

26

overconfidence, confirmation blindness, or inattention blindness, can significantly influence driver behaviour and decision-making, and they often lead drivers to unfortunate outcomes for all types of road users. By utilising coaching techniques and introducing bias awareness training into our driving lessons, we can help educate the next generation of young drivers (and trainee driving instructors) and help people make better decisions for safer outcomes.
