"Excellence is a habit ... not a one-off performance." This version : 2nd December 2024 Welcome! ... and thanks for having found  adiHelp.co.uk ! The aim of my site is not only to offer Practical Training, but also to provide some advice and ideas for the continued development of new - and not so new - ADIs, and also to offer some unbiased help to PDIs - especially those not on a Trainee Licence - in the run-up to their DVSA Part 3 Test. Any notes, suggestions, advice, videos etc. appearing on the site are purely the ideas and personal thoughts of the author, graham campbell, and are therefore subject to intellectual copyright. They do not purport, however, in any way to dictate a uniquely "correct" way of doing things, either from the DVSA's point of view, or from my own. As with all advice, mine should be mulled over, and rejected or accepted as the reader sees fit... but bearing in mind the DVSA qualfications and experience of the author [scroll down], don't reject too much! "The only source of knowledge is experience" - Albert Einstein Part 2 Session "Really great to have met you yesterday and got some very valuable feedback. Would like to thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with me, really appreciate it."  - a grateful PDI. [by email] - November 2023 "Thank you very much for giving me so much of your time, experience and knowledge today.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress."  - a grateful ADI. [by email] - January 2022 "Many thanks for your time today!

THERE'S  NO CHARGE  FOR MY TRAINING‑TIME  😊

Click here to enquire about a FREE Instructional Development session [ADIs and PDIs], whether or not you have a Standards Check [or a Part 3 SC] coming up.

I'm more concerned now with having an input into excellence of training than in making money.

The less tax I have to pay nowadays, the better!

"Excellence is a habit, NOT a one-off performance"

Good training means that when you're under 'pressure' - especially when being observed [maybe by younger clients' parents on a ride‑out, or when on a 'Standards Check'] - what you do, and how you do it, never changes!

It's  "just another day at the office!"

I hope PDIs will find lots of interesting material here : expect to see, at times, a slightly different way of doing things - all and any of which, though, have had at various times, DVSA's approval during my various "Checks" over the years.
