Unlike larger schools, local driving instructors usually can't afford to spend vast amounts of money on advertising but fortunately advertising plays only a small part in promoting the successful local driving school.

A driving instructor's good (or bad) reputation will rapidly spread  throughout the local area. Customers will be queuing up to take lessons with a driving instructor that a friend or relative has recommended.

To gain a good reputation the ADI & PDI needs to show their customers that they run their business in a professional way and that their driving lessons are sharp, clear and easy to understand.

Graphic Briefings have been on the market since the year 2000. We have sold many copies of these books to ADIs and PDIs throughout the UK. Colin Crane (see below), who has been running his own driving instructor training school for many years, acknowledges that Graphic Briefings have played a significant part in his high success rate in the Approved Driving Instructor Part 3 Test.

An extremely useful product that not only helps the ADI or PDI to keep track of each client's progress and help ensure that they don't miss appointments but also contains reference material which will help the client remember the bullet points of each lesson. The Logbook includes a quick-view progress chart, the Tell and Show material, pages containing thumbnail sketches of the driving lessons, pages for end of lesson comments and space to enter next  appointments/dates/times with charts to record mini-tests and mock tests. Your clients will be happy to accept the  Logbook and it will also give your driving school that very important extra edge!  Logbooks can be sold or given free to your clients.

Colin Crane has years of training experience in this field and, as an ex-headmaster, he knows more than most about the subject of professional teaching!
