Working with anxious students – a more in-depth look at identifying and working with the main causes of driving nerves and anxiety, with Confident Drivers

Confident Drivers

Bio: Confident Drivers is a membership website, podcast and training provider.  Offering training to help ADIs/PDIs develop skills to support nervous and anxious pupils during lessons.  We aim to help ADIs/PDIs pinpoint the reasons why a driver experiences anxiety so they know which techniques are most effective for each individual. One size doesn’t fit all!

Kev is an A grade, ORDIT registered trainer and Tracey has a background in stress management and mindfulness.  Together they have combined their knowledge to create the Drive with Confidence SCQF Level 7 Professional Diploma, a nationally recognised qualification focusing on stress management and driving.

Session description: This session will go into more detail about how to identify and then work with some of the most common causes of driving nerves and anxiety.  The reason behind a driver’s anxiety will change how you work with them, so we will share some simple questions to help you do the detective work to find out more.  Once you know the reason behind your student’s nerves, you can work out the most effective way to work with them.  We will share suggestions for different ways to work for each of the common causes.

Negative thinking habits, the way your student thinks and talks to themselves, is a common culprit. We will look at some everyday negative thinking habits and then look at ways to spot them and then start challenging your student’s negative thoughts. We will offer suggestions on adding confidence-building techniques into all your driving lessons and ways to help your students build trust in their driving ability.  Knowing they can drive results in one less thing to be nervous about before their driving test.

  1. Understand the most common causes of nerves and anxiety and questions to ask
