*The Driving Instructor of the Year nominations will come directly from those who know best, the learners themselves. Intelligent Instructor has very close links with FirstCar, the new driver brand, and they will be canvassing their 120,000 young driver database to encourage nominations for driving instructors, via an online nomination form. Instructors can also encourage their own pupils to do the same by sharing this link through to the survey https://bit.ly/iiawards2024
11 Regional Driving Instructor of the Year winners will be selected by the judging panel with one being crowned the Intelligent Instructor Driving Instructor of the Year 2024!
After the nomination period closes on 10th December, the shortlist will be announced shortly afterwards, at which point public voting will commence. Driving instructors will be encouraged to cast their votes, across one or more of the categories, but not the Driving Instructor of the Year award, which wil be down solely to the independent judging panel.
Our independent awards judging panel will assess all the shortlisted entries to cast their votes too. Those entries who achieve the highest combined ranking from our two voting methods, will be judged the winners in the respective categories. For example, if the judging panel rank one entry first and the public vote ranks it third, this will finish higher than an entry ranked second and fourth. In the event of tie, the judging panel’s ranking will prevail.
Winners will be announced at the Intelligent Instructor Awards ceremony which will be filmed and broadcast on YouTube, as well as simultaneously promoted across Intelligent Instructor’s digital channels – intelligentinstructor.co.uk, social media, emailed to 8,750 Intelligent Instructor database.
Trophies for all 13 categories, wil be presented at The Driving Instructor Convention at the networking dinner the evening before, Saturday, 11th May 2024.
