Hi and welcome to M8 Driving School. My name is Steven Porter, I am a Grade 6 Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). I have qualified through the Driving Standards Agency´s (DSA) stringent tests to teach you the most up to date methods of learner driving. I have also signed up to Continual Professional Development, This is to make sure I am educated in any changes within the industry and in different teaching methods such as coaching. This is so YOU the customer get´s value for money and pass your test with us without having to do crazy amounts of hours behind the wheel.
Paul Gregory who has recently joined us is a Grade 5 Instructor. So whoever you have doing your training will have plenty of knowledge and experience in driver training.
The Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors has released the current percentages as follows:
Grade 6 - 6 %
Grade 5 - 34 %
Grade 4 - 52.2 %
The remaining per cent are made up of those instructors not yet graded, and those of grade 2 , 3, and E. These figures are from The Department Of Transport (1st August 2011)

Continual Professional Development:
Continual Professional Development is at present voluntary. A large number of instructors don´t see why they should have to keep educating themselves, I do. I attend local and national meetings with some of the biggest names in the industry and also attend many different courses inside and out of the industry to keep me up to date with changes in legislation and teaching methods. CPD will become mandatory soon, I started when training to become an instructor, and haven´t stopped since.
