🚗 Black Country ADIs Meeting – 11th August
Have you ever finished a day's teaching and wished you had another driving instructor to bounce ideas off?
As driving instructors, we spend most of our working lives on our own. We don't have colleagues in the next office. We don't have team meetings. It's easy to feel isolated.
That's exactly why I founded Black Country ADIs.
Over the years I've seen first-hand how bringing instructors together can make a real difference—not just to their businesses, but to their confidence, their teaching and the support they receive from fellow professionals.
Whether you're a PDI, a newly qualified ADI, an experienced instructor, an ORDIT trainer, or you run your own driving school, you'll be made to feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door.
You don't need to know anyone.
You certainly won't be standing on your own.
Everyone in the room has one thing in common—we all want to become better driving instructors and help each other succeed.
This month's meeting is one you won't want to miss.
We're delighted to welcome Karen Bransgrove, who'll be sharing her knowledge and experience on:
• Coaching within the driver training industry.
• CPD and developing as a professional instructor.
• Fleet driver training and opportunities that many instructors never hear about.
These aren't just interesting topics—they're practical ideas you can take straight back into your lessons and use with your learners.
Imagine leaving the meeting with new coaching techniques that make your pupils think for themselves...
A better understanding of professional development...
And perhaps even discovering new opportunities to grow your income through fleet work.
That's what these meetings are all about.
Now, I know some people might be thinking...
"It's a bit too far."
"I don't know anyone."
"I'm not sure it'll be worth it."
If that's you, I'd encourage you to come along just once.
Introduce yourself.
Have a coffee.
Chat to a few local instructors.
I genuinely believe you'll leave wondering why you didn't come sooner.
Black Country ADIs isn't about egos or competition.
It's about building a professional community where instructors support each other, share ideas and raise standards across the industry.
