Lesson planning is one of the most important skills for any driving instructor, yet it's also an area where many PDIs and ADIs struggle, particularly when preparing for their Part 3 test or Standards Check.
The good news is that effective lesson planning doesn't have to be complicated.
It's not about creating the perfect plan. It's about creating the right learning opportunities for the person sitting next to you.
During this workshop, we'll look at how to:
This isn't a workshop where you simply sit and listen to a presentation.
We'll explore realistic driving lesson situations, discuss different approaches and reflect on how you currently plan your own lessons.
You'll have opportunities to share ideas, ask questions and consider practical techniques you can use on your very next driving lesson.
Whether you're preparing for your ADI Part 3 test, approaching a Standards Check or simply wanting to improve your everyday teaching, this workshop is designed to help you develop the confidence to plan with purpose and adapt with confidence.
Think about a recent driving lesson where the original plan didn't quite work out.
What happened? What did your learner actually need? What might you do differently next time?
Bring that experience along. It could provide a valuable starting point for our discussions.
I look forward to welcoming you to the workshop.

Helping instructors teach with confidence, coach with purpose and inspire safer drivers.
Lesson Planning Made Easy is designed for both Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs) and qualified Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs). Whether you're preparing for your ADI Part 3 test, an upcoming Standards Check or simply looking to improve your everyday teaching, this workshop will help you develop more effective lesson-planning skills.
We'll explore how to identify your learner's real development needs, agree meaningful learning goals, structure effective lessons and recognise when a lesson plan needs to change. You'll also discover how learner-centred coaching can make planning more collaborative and purposeful.
Absolutely. Lesson planning is one of the three main assessment areas in both the ADI Part 3 test and Standards Check. We'll explore the practical skills needed to demonstrate effective lesson planning, including agreeing learning goals, meeting learners' needs and adapting lessons appropriately.
This is a live, interactive workshop rather than simply a presentation. You'll have opportunities to reflect on your own teaching, discuss realistic driving lesson situations, share ideas and ask questions.
The workshop lasts approximately 90 minutes and is delivered live through Zoom.
