Professionalism in Instruction
Professionalism is the bedrock of trust between an instructor and a pupil.
More Than Just Driving
Being a professional ADI means maintaining high standards in every aspect of your work. It’s not only about driving ability — it’s your consistency, preparation, boundaries, and how you represent the profession in public.
Professional Appearance
Your attire sets the tone. Aim for smart, practical, and comfortable clothing suitable for driving. Avoid overly casual wear — you want pupils and parents to feel confident and reassured from the first minute.
Essential Documents Checklist
Always ensure the following are valid and available during lessons and the Standards Check:
- Valid Driving Licence (Original)
- ADI/PDI Badge (Correctly Displayed)
