How can ADI's use DriveFit with their students?
Every season I release an episode (or two!) from the Premium vault into the public feed. Today is this day.
Back in December I created a '12 days of Christmas series' and one of the guests was Dr Liz Box who joined me to discuss DriveFit and Vision Zero. Following on from that I've included an edition of 'Episode Dissection' where Stewart Lochrie joins me as we talk road safety and coaching.
Enjoy.

Customer Reviews
Awesome CPD
I’ve started listening as I drive between lessons, such a good way of utilising otherwise ‘wasted’ time. Love that there’s always at least one real nugget of pure gold that sticks with me and I take forward into lessons. Great work on the show thank you for doing it.
Best CPD I’ve listened too
Excellent podcast. I like the way it just seems like friends having a chat most of the time. Terry’s way of asking questions and getting the best out of his guests seems effortless.
I’ve learnt soo much from listening to these recently even though I’ve been in the industry for 16 years.
This can be a lonely job and listening to the podcast driving between lessons and realising it’s not just you having the same difficulties can be reassuring.
I’ve purchased the premium and it’s well worth the value.
Always thought provoking.
Terry’s The Instructor Podcast is a great resource for the driver training profession. Not every episode will be to everyone’s taste but there are nuggets to take away from every one of them.
The option of a bit more Terry from the premium channel is well worth the monthly charge but the free content should be required listening for all
Instructors.
