This is what the DVSA say about ADI Professional development

23/1/2017

Comments

 
Professional development is an important part of being a driving instructor. The skills and knowledge you’ll need to teach your pupils change over time, as do the driving tests and the way driving is taught. To give your pupils the best chance of becoming safe, responsible drivers and passing their tests, you’ll need to keep your skills and knowledge up to date. It’s also important to show your pupils that you’re still improving your skills: no one ever really finishes learning.
Client-centred learning
Client-centred learning is an approach that’s being used increasingly in the driving tuition industry. It’s a way of teaching that puts the focus on the learner, as these core principles show.
  • Actively listen to what your pupils are trying to tell you about what’s getting in the way of their learning so you’ll be well-equipped to help them achieve their learning goals.
  • Don’t hide behind a façade, patronise your pupils or pretend to be something you’re not. Your pupils will be much more likely to be willing to listen to you, and share their problems, if you’re ‘real’.
  • Show them you trust that they’re trying to be constructive and find solutions. Your pupils will be much more likely to take your advice and guidance if you accept and respect who they are.
You may already be following these principles at least some of the time. The more you use this approach, the more effective your instruction is likely to be. There are lots of different techniques for managing learning in a client-centred way: this is an area you could explore in your professional development.

How to achieve better than PAR

13/1/2017

Picture
I would like to give you a PAR formula that will help you strive to be the best you can and help you fight the fear of failure that we all have from time to time. Are you on PAR? You could use this to help make your life work and solve the question: 'What's stopping you?' You could also pass this onto your clients especially around test times.
Potential
  • Are you standing in the way of fulfilling your potential?
  • Here comes the nitty gritty: how much do you believe in you fulfilling your potential?
  • Where are you on that scale of 0 (no chance I won't even try) to 10 (I am certain that I will succeed)?
Most of us find ourselves a little bit in between and that is where our problems start. Ask yourself if you are not 100% certain of being successful then how likely are you to put 100% in?
This leads to the next step in the formula.
Action
Action is the key to achieving potential - but not any old type of action, not just doing. Doing is great but you need to be able to visualise exactly what it is that you are doing. If you can create what you want in your own mind's eye to perfection - no flaws - it allows you to believe in yourself and unlock your potential. Taking the time to plan your success and then taking action leads you to the final step in the formula. Take a 7 day challenge and start now.
Results
All too soon people quit because it's challenging - it takes effort, it takes more belief and it takes practice. Remember that old saying: 'the more I practise the luckier I get'? Funnily it was a successful person who said that. I wonder why successful people create their own luck and it is simple: perfect practice works and the more you walk yourself, talk yourself or picture yourself doing what you have set out to do, the more it reinforces your self-belief.
So, take this PAR formula - Potential, Action, Results - and start on your road to success. We are committed at Tri-Coaching Partnership to helping you succeed, you only need to read a few of our great testimonials to know that's true:
Lee Jowett - Manchester - 29 Nov 2016
'I've completed both level four Btec and the Train the Trainer courses. Both of these courses have been delivered at an exceptionally high standard. Both of these courses have been fun and enjoyable but most importantly both of these courses have added value to my company. Fantastic value for money, helping me grow my business for the future.'
John Reynolds - Newport - 25 Nov 2016
'I started the BTEC 4 with Tri-Coaching last year and what a journey it was. Graham and Susan were very professional throughout the course and very understanding to a personal issue I had going on while on the course. The course was a journey in itself but, very rewarding. I went on to completing the course and passing earlier this year. Since the course I have changed the way I teach and approach students as individuals and equals. On completion of this course I was encouraged to take the RoSPA Diploma in advanced driving by a good friend and colleague. I found that the BTEC 4 was a massive stepping stone towards the Diploma and I believe the Diploma would not have been achievable without it. I have used Tri-Coaching twice in the last two years and found each course highly beneficial to the driving coaching industry. Well done Tri-Coaching and I'm sure there is another course which I will be interested in taking.'
Here are the dates and locations of our next BTEC Level 4 courses:

3 Brilliant questions to change your life

6/1/2017

Picture
​Life is full of ups and downs.
Can we learn from our past and hopefully use these 3 classic questions?
  • What went well?
  • What didn't go so well?
  • What would I do differently next time?
You can easily turn these questions into a reflective log and build an action plan to create more of what went well. It makes sense to seek improvement on what we do - whether that's in our work or life outside work - improving what we do will make our life more rewarding.
So, my question is, 'Are you going to improve in 2017?'
You need to do something different to be able to improve and that often takes motivation and, more importantly, action. Some of us probably intend to do something for ourselves this year like keep fit or lose weight but how committed are you to your goal?
Do you fear the pain of going hungry? Are you really going to starve yourself? Or will you just eat sensibly and do some exercise and then notice the difference and use that feeling of achievement to motivate yourself?
Doing something different is the key to change and you could take that a step further and do something different for you and your business.
You know if you put the effort in to your business whatever you decide to do will work. Change should be embraced because doing nothing can be boring and mundane. Doing something different is challenging and brilliant people constantly change and adapt as the world they work in changes around them. We know in our industry that change is constant - the driving test, the standards check, the Part 3 - are you preparing yourself for change and the challenges ahead?
Here are 10 reasons you may want to change:
  1. I am seeking new interests
  2. I want to improve road safety
  3. I want to learn and improve
  4. I am my business and investing in me is the best thing I can do
  5. I want to upgrade my car
  6. I want more time off
  7. I want to grow my driving school
  8. I want to charge more
  9. I want to increase my recommendations
  10. I want to be rewarded for my efforts.
Are you going to do something this year that will make a difference? You could start making a change that you won't regret by investing in a training course - and with no risks attached because we give you a money back guarantee. (We also have a new location in Stoke plus our old favorite Newport Pagnell). If you want to improve your business or diversify into other areas within the industry then don't hesitate to pick up the phone and have a chat. We helped so many ADIs in 2016 improve their business, diversify their business interests and they all started with a little belief and the motivation to do something different.
So, I will leave you with the 3 questions, about 2016:
  • What went well?
  • What didn't go so well?
  • What are you going to do to improve 2017 ?

How to be a succesful Driving Instructor

How to be a successful ADI :)
​

To be a ‘successful’ ADI you need to analyse what success means to you.
Is it money? If it is, are you getting paid what you are worth? If you answer ‘No’ are you prepared to change?
It is a competitive market place and some ADIs will be more successful than others - have you taken the time to look at your competitors? Model yourself on what, in your opinion, the successful ADI does that you don't.
Do you crave job satisfaction? Do you get up in the morning and relish the challenges that you will face and do you come home at the end of the day satisfied with your rewards - not just financial rewards but the rewards we get from helping someone else learn and achieve their goals?
If you were to design the perfect ADI job what would it look like to you? Do you have enough breaks during the day? Are you looking after yourself mentally and physically? Where do you want to be in 6 months, one year, 5 years or even 10 years’ time? Are you just existing or do you have a future goal that you are striving to achieve?
When I look around at successful people I often see they are hard working and seem to have clear ambition. So how do you stand head and shoulders above your competition and if you do currently what can you do to stay there? How successful do you think a busy ADI is when they work long – and, often, unsociable – hours? Do they struggle to say no to a customer because when we are self employed we can get scared of where that next customer is coming from? Success is not necessarily a full diary.
If you want to market yourself successfully you have to start with the end in mind and that is ‘what do you want’? Working back from that position helps.
At Tri-Coaching Partnership we can help you because we are passionate about developing ADIs. The BTEC Level 4 Professional Award in Coaching for Driver Development takes place in key locations around the country. Our next courses start in:
Newport Pagnell on March 8th
