Our Driving Fault Workshops are designed for driving instructors who want to improve consistency, reduce pupil driving faults, and strengthen overall test performance. The workshops are designed to support improvement at any stage — not to criticise current performance.
These workshops form part of our ongoing professional development support for Approved Driving Instructors.
Delivered locally by former DVSA driving test examiners and qualified ADIs, these workshops provide a structured, supportive environment where instructors can explore driving faults in depth and develop practical solutions they can apply immediately.
Driving faults are rarely caused by a single mistake. More often, they develop gradually through gaps in understanding, coaching approach, or decision-making.
Left unaddressed, this can lead to:
Rising driving fault counts
Increased serious faults or examiner intervention
Falling pass rates
Growing pressure around rolling test data
Our workshops focus on understanding why faults occur, how they develop, and — most importantly — how instructors can prevent them through better coaching.
These are not lectures and they are not one-way presentations.
Our workshops are:
Interactive and collaborative
Based on real test outcomes and real faults
Guided by a clear, structured fault-analysis framework
Steered by former DVSA examiners with extensive assessment experience
Instructors are encouraged to:
Share experiences and challenges
Explore solutions together
Develop deeper understanding rather than surface fixes
Throughout the sessions, discussion is guided carefully to ensure it stays aligned with DVSA assessment standards and examiner expectations.
By attending the Driving Fault Workshops, instructors will:
Develop a clearer understanding of how driving faults arise
Improve confidence in identifying and explaining faults
Strengthen coaching techniques to prevent faults developing
Improve lesson consistency and pupil progress
Reduce avoidable driving faults on test
Support stronger, more consistent pass rates
The focus is on long-term improvement, not quick fixes.
These workshops are suitable for:
Qualified ADIs
PDIs preparing for qualification
Instructors looking to improve pass rates
Instructors concerned about rising fault counts
Instructors wanting to strengthen fault awareness and assessment skills
No matter where you are in your instructional career, the workshops are designed to be relevant, supportive, and practical.

Who are the Driving Fault Workshops for?
The workshops are designed for qualified ADIs and PDIs who want to improve fault awareness, lesson consistency, and pupil outcomes. They’re suitable whether you’re newly qualified or very experienced.
Are these workshops suitable if my pass rate is currently good?
Yes. Many instructors attend to strengthen consistency, refine coaching techniques, and prevent issues developing in the future — not just to fix problems.
Is this a lecture or classroom-style course?
No. The workshops are interactive and discussion-based. Instructors are encouraged to share experiences and work through real scenarios together, guided by examiner insight and a structured fault framework.
Will my own results or data be discussed publicly?
No. The workshops focus on common themes and shared learning. Any personal concerns or data are handled privately and professionally.
Do I need to prepare anything in advance?
Yes, please apply for your DVSA rolling 12 month stats report prior to starting the workshop – this helps you measure the worth of the workshop! Also bring an open mind and a willingness to reflect on coaching approaches is all that’s needed.
We always try to contact you as soon as we can, we may be teaching in the day so please be patient. If you would like to text us we will respond in between lessons.
