Tri-Coaching Partnership specialise in the development of DVSA approved driving instructors and those learning to become a driving instructor. https://www.tri-coachingpartnership.com/ http://www.drivinginstructortrainingc... Lynne Barrie came to the driving instruction industry 18 years ago after many successful years as a secondary school teacher. She initially worked on a part time basis after having a family but her enthusiasm and expertise have meant that she is now one of the industry’s leading ADIs. Of 39,000 driving instructors, Lynne is one of a handful that has gained a Master’s Degree in Driver Training from Middlesex University. A grade A instructor, driving instructor trainer and advanced motorist, Lynne is based in the West Midlands but people come from all over the country for her highly successful training. Lynne believes her past teaching experience was invaluable to helping her train all her clients from learners to PDIs and ADIs. She helps ADIs needing standards check help, coaching for driver training and continuing professional development. She has always used coaching techniques in her sessions and has herself attended Master classes on the subject of coaching run by Sir John Whitmore and Dr Jonathan Passmore. She has gained a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching for Driver Development from the East London University. This was a five day course which just 12 ADIs in the country completed in 2010. She is author of the 'Standards Check Success' Book and 'Come to Coaching' used by a vast number of PDIs and ADIs. She is a regular contributor to Intelligent Instructor Magazine and other industry journals. Currently, Lynne is Chairman of the Approved Driving Instructors National Joint Council (ADINJC). Having been actively involved as a member of the Driving and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA) Modernising Driver and Rider Training Steering Group, including the development of the Standards Check, the New National Standards and the Driving Test Transformation Group she is in a unique position to understand the changes in the industry and help to guide her clients. She helps to organise the ADINJC annual conference and often talks to local associations around the country on behalf of the ADINJC on a voluntary basis. Lynne believes all ADIs need to belong to an association and that unity amongst ADIs is essential. Lynne was made a fellow of the Institute of Master Tutors of Driving (IMTD), is a member of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). She is also a member of her local driving instructor association: South Staffordshire Association of Driving Instructors.

We work tirelessly to inform, represent and support our members, and to promote the interests of our profession. Established in 1973, the ADINJC is one of the leading National Driving Instructor Associations in the UK. It acts as a focal point uniting local driving instructor associations and groups, providing a strong united voice representing the views of members to the DVSA and other bodies. It is run by a Governing Committee, a small team of dedicated ADIs working full time in their own driving schools who donate their spare time and energy to improve the driver training industry for the benefit of both ADIs and the general public. Any member association can nominate someone to be a member of the GC with elections being conducted annually at the AGM. The ADINJC is a non-profit making organisation with no employees, shareholders or expensive premises to pay for. All income, after deductions for normal operating expenses, is devoted to activities to further enhance the opportunities and profitability of members. Association Meetings Throughout the year at least three ‘Association Meetings’ are conducted, usually in the West Midlands, where up to two delegates from each member association and any individual platinum members are invited to attend and discuss the vital issues affecting the industry and also the smaller, but still important, issues which may be affecting individual local associations or members. It is a unique opportunity for individual ADIs to be able to voice their concerns and opinions to a large group of their peers where it can be discussed and considered. https://www.adinjc.org.uk/
