Six-week Drive Calm® Course & Resources
Tools & Techniques for ADIs/PDIs to Support their Anxious Students in 6 Weeks
- Are you feeling stuck about how to help your anxious students?
- Do you wish you knew which questions to ask them?
- Would you like simple, practical tools that work to use in driving lessons?
- Would you like to add easy, confidence-building techniques to every lesson?
- Are you looking for a training course that you can re-attend free of charge in the future?
It's normal to feel uncertain about how best to help anxious students—after all, this topic is rarely covered in your part three training!
Where do you start?
How do you know what will work?
Will the same thing work for everyone?
Imagine how it would feel, in six weeks time, when you know the questions to ask, have the tried and tested tools to use in lessons and the confidence that you can revisit the course material and future online modules whenever you want to, without having to pay again.

"I have learned so much over the last 6 weeks on this course and my most anxious learners are making huge progress and growing massively in confidence.
I highly recommend this course for any instructor who has nervous learners, but even the most confident learners and instructors will gain a fascinating insight into the way the human brain works.
I've gained so many tools and techniques which have given my lessons a new spark. Tracey and Kev present the information in a clear, concise way and are always on hand to explain further if required."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I want to start straight away, do I have to wait for the next live module dates?
You will have immediate access to the course content, the previous module recordings and can join our dedicated Facebook group. This means you can start learning straight away at your own pace, while you wait for the next live modules to start.
I can't make the live module dates and times, can I catch up?
Yes, we record all the live modules so they are available for catch up, and we don't mind if you are running late and join part way through a module, we completely understand how it is to juggle work, life and courses!
Do you only run the course online?
Currently, we commit to running the course 3x a year online. If you have a group of ADI/PDIs who would like a face-to-face version of the course, run over two consecutive days, get in touch and we can discuss arrangements.
We are running a face to face version of the course over two days in Coventry on 3rd & 4th March 2025. Click HERE for details
Will there be role-play or break-out rooms?
We avoid role-play and break-out rooms, so please don't let these be an obstacle to working with us! We invite questions and conversations in the live modules from those who want to. If you prefer to watch and observe quietly, that is absolutely fine. We get it and don't mind if you turn your camera off while watching. (It might not look like it, but we are both introverts to different degrees)
Is there any homework, tests or assignments?
There is no pressure and no homework or tests on the six-week course. (We save that for the Diploma programme) It is up to you which parts you apply in your driving lessons. Your students change all the time, which means you may be interested in different tools and techniques at different times. This is why we suggest you re-attend live modules, its a bit like reading a good book, you learn new things each time you revisit.
What if I want to learn more?
If you enjoy the course and you want to take your learning and development further we recommend our Drive with Confidence Professional Diploma. This is based on the same live module content, plus the Neurodiversity Champion workshop. Diploma participants are asked to apply their new knowledge into their driving lessons and complete a series of assignments as evidence. On completion of the assignments you will have a nationally recognised qualification in stress managment, anxiety reduction and confidence building in driver training. You can upgrade to the Diploma at any stage, and your purchase of the Drive Calm course gives you a £447 discount against the cost.
Do you offer any guarantees?
We know that the content in this course is reliable and robust. We can't control the variables of whether you apply what you learn in lessons, or the circumstances and situations for your individual students. This means that we can not offer a guarantee that this course will work for every ADI/PDI and every student they work with. This course offers you a basic introduction to the brain, anxiety and confidence building, but it will not make you an expert or a psychologist (it takes many years of study to get to that level). We do not have a refund policy on this course as you have immediate access to all the content. BUT, if you hate it, just email us, let us know what you have tried and what has happened.
