Continuing Professional Development Courses
As a DSA ADI (car) you should already be aware that CPD is going to be introduced
on a voluntary basis in the spring of the year 2008, before it eventually becomes
compulsory at a later date. You may or may not be aware that when CPD does
become mandatory, every ADI on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors,
will be required to take one days training (7 hours) every year during their
four year period of registration.
In my capacity as the CPD Trainer for the Driving Instructors Scottish Council,
and have attended and have been involved in all of the CPD seminars and workshops
set up by DSA and the various consultants during the past three years.
At present I am a member of the DSA CPD working group, within the DSA CPD steering
group, and I am therefore heavily involved in the preparations for this introduction.
As I live and operate within Scotland, I can only offer sincere apologies
to those of you living elsewhere in the United Kingdom, as unfortunately due
to geographical reasons, I am only able to provide CPD training courses within
Scotland. However, I can provide the actual written handouts on the various
subjects, which will be issued to all ADI’s attending these courses,
these can be ordered on this site and will be dispatched by post.
These CPD courses can be arranged locally throughout Scotland. Provided that
there is sufficient demand, I will make arrangements to travel to any location,
which is suitable and convenient to the majority of ADI’s who wish to
attend within your local area.
At present you will have a choice of 19 subjects available, with the subjects
chosen for the seven hour training session, being selected by popular demand,
based on your personal requests.
A full list of the current subject headings available can be
viewed here.
