Feedback from
 previous events:

After yesterday's course my faith in this additional approach has been confirmed by 2 pupils this morning who are quoted as saying :

- I feel much more independent now and have a better understanding of roundabouts (an area she struggles with)

- I didn't think of the dangers of slipping over the white lines on a roundabout until I thought about where my car could end up if I bumped into someone in the other lane and that's thanks to you Marty. Martin Gibbons 

What a breath of fresh air Ian breathed into driver training. To be able to hold an audience with what was, to say the least, a challenging subject was a feat in itself but go further and get the audience engaged and wanting more was remarkable. John Lamarra - Driving Instructors Scottish Council

Ian this was the best course I think I have ever been on.  Your delivery was simply brilliant and you have such an ability to create a relaxed learning environment.  I thought about nothing else for the rest of that day and have been practising the techniques on my students. Anita Doughty 

I would like to thank you for delivering such an excellent course.  Not only was it extremely interesting and thought provoking but I actually came away with some practical techniques that I have already started using. Money well spent. Gareth Marchant

Fantastic course today Ian, I throughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot about coaching.  Thank you for a such an interesting and empowering day. Denise Shepherd - left on Facebook

I got a great deal from it [course] I am learning now that coaching does produce good/better results. In fact people do like to solve their own problems and coaching gets them to do just that.....and I think I am talking on behalf of all those who attended. Peter Barnes 

I had my check test this morning and went from being a Grade 4 to a Grade 5. I decided to incorporate the coaching methods from your course in the check test and the examiner was impressed that I had gone that way and asked me if I'd been on a course. I said that I had and mentioned edrivingsolutions.  She was very pleased that I was using my pupil to self Identify, analyse and rectify instead of the traditional way of me doing that process and that they were wanting more instructors to try and steer away from the original core competences. Leighton Eyres
