Bournemouth and District Driving Instructors Association has served the driver training industry since 1984,
and we're still growing. As more people join the community of local driver
trainers, we are called upon to provide guidance, training, advice and
assistance to more people every year.
Membership of BDDIA provides access to a
range of resources for trainers including up-to-date local and national
industry news, training aids and an active discussion Facebook group.
If you are a local ADI who works in east Dorset or west Hampshire, and mainly use
Poole, Dorchester, Salisbury or the Southampton Driving Test Centres, you are eligible to join us. BDDIA also welcomes
driver trainers specialising in training for larger vehicles, trailers, motorcycles and other such specialisms.
BDDIA is a friendly association, seeking to
provide an informal and effective environment for members to discuss industry
matters.
Our meetings take place every quarter, although we schedule extra
meetings when required. Our speakers often include Driver and Vehicle Standards
Agency (DVSA) representatives, Police and professionals from a variety of road
safety organisations.
A close working relationship, built up over the last three decades with
the local test centres allows us as a group to have a collective voice to raise
member concerns, or to seek answers to members' questions.
