A triumvirate of speakers from the DVSA are joining the stellar line-up at The Driving Instructor Convention.

John Sheridan, Driver Training Policy Advisor, Colin Stewart, Assistant Chief Driving Examiner, and Craig Lambourn, Operations Manager (Zone C) will all take to the stage for an extended one-hour session.

At last year’s event, the overwhelming feedback was for more air time for the DVSA to provide you with the latest industry updates on key issues like tackling test waiting times, Standards Checks, beating the bots and the ‘Ready to Pass?’ campaign.

During this insightful session, our three experts will combine on stage to share their wealth of wisdom and industry insight.

The session will cover:

  • An update on the 7-point plan to reduce driving test waiting times
  • Continuous professional development
  • The top 10 reasons people fail a driving test
  • ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
  • Ready to Pass? campaign update.

There will also be ample time for asking questions so you can be better informed about what our industry governing body is doing for instructors and learners.
