and welcome to 'the Driving Instructor' the official publication of the UK Driving Instructor Confederation.

The UK Driving Instructors Confederation was formed in January 2000 and has gained a huge following from ADI's, Driver Trainers and PDI's and with over 100,000 site visits per year is the premier on line resource for the driver training industry. This site is for the benefit of anyone interested in driver training and whether you're an experienced ADI or a PDI new to the industry, the UK Driving Instructors Confederation has something for you.

The UK Driving Instructors Confederation offers advice to those of you considering a career as a Driving Instructor in our PDI AREA, with, amongst other things, help in passing the qualifying exams and for the experienced Instructor there is help and advice in getting a better check test grade in our ADI AREA.

In our FORUM and COFFEE SHOP chat room you can contribute to our Message Forum or join our lively chat room where you can talk on line to your fellow ADI's . You will find our message boards and chat room helpful and friendly ways of seeking advice or passing on your knowledge to your fellow ADI's.

In order to build on our success, we plan to open an ADI store where you will be able to buy books and training aids and we have a national database of training establishments. Also, if you are planning to change your training vehicle, we've just launched a unique ROAD TEST REPORT ARCHIVE which reviews all of the driver training vehicles available to ADI's, written from an Instructors perspective.
