Actually, the term 'experts' makes us cringe somewhat! In reality, we see ourselves as people who have just undertaken additional training and qualifications in the area of nerves and confidence and are still researching and learning as we go.
Our aim is to share this additional knowledge with others. The website and its resources have been created by husband and wife team Kev and Tracey with some help from hypnotherapist Joline. Kev is a highly experienced driving instructor, is ORDIT registered and previously delivered the BTEC 4 on behalf of Tri-Coaching so is experienced in training other driving instructors to become the best at what they do. Kev is also a personal development and business coach and NLP practitioner. Tracey is a mindfulness teacher qualified in stress management techniques and has recently completed her psychology degree with The Open University.
Together we have combined our skills and expertise to help ADIs support students through driving anxiety and test day nerves. Kev and Tracey regularly give talks and presentations to driving instructors on overcoming driving nerves and worries. We have also written a series of monthly articles in DIA's Driver Trainer journal.
“Kev & Tracey worked very well together, mixing input easily. They knew their subject matter which is always good… no reading from PowerPoint slides, just speaking to us, relating to experiences and involving us with our own situations. Nice interactions with audience too, getting us moving and thinking. Good idea to have lesson notes etc electronically for us to access at our leisure too.
“Thanks to you both, a great afternoon and some really useful information..”
Read more of our reviews from driving instructors on why they recommend Confident Drivers to their students on Trustpilot
I have been using the Confident Drivers website for a year now. It is my go to place of ADI reference when I am assisting a more nervous / anxious client /stressed during their learning to drive journey or test day nerves. The coaching wheel is my favourite coaching tool, my clients love watching their wheel evolve.
Confident Drivers provide an excellent service to both Learners and Driving Instructors. My learners have enjoyed the wealth of information and techniques to help them feel confident when driving or taking their driving test. I am seeing some really positive results in the learners that have used these resources.
Pupils love it and I've found it very useful myself. A great resource for people and not just drivers.
This is a fantastic website, I would highly recommend it for anyone taking their part 3 exam to become a driving instructor. It helped me stay calm and relaxed leading up to my date and assisted with staying positive.
I also use it for my students, they too have found it supportive. Thank you
I own a driving school and we provide access to Confident Drivers for all of our instructors so they can enrol their clients as required. It's an excellent franchise benefit and the feedback has been extremely positive from ADIs and learners alike.
I came across Confident Drivers last night. I then decided to sign up this morning. I am glad I have its FAB, plenty of resources to help me and my students, and well worth the monthly cost.
