I have a video promotional shoot for tomorrow and there are a number of things I want to mention so I thought I would blog them here first.
The reasons to train with Graham Hooper are I will tell you what you should know about this industry and explain the reasons people fail, why the pass rate is so low and what some of the large training establishments don’t tell you, you need to know this.
My training will teach you how to pass as countless others have done before you some of their testimony is on my website or you can contact local driving schools like Pass in Kent and The Big Red L not to be associated with RED. These schools send there trainees to Graham Hooper for training and have never had them not go on to qualify to become an ADI.
In addition you get a Money Back Guarantee if you don’t think the training I give will benefit you after the first session then don’t pay. But more just book an initial interview and you will receive a free CD when you attend. Plus after the first training session you get two FREE training manuals for part 2 and 3 these alone are worth more than the price of a training session and you get them for FREE. You then have an option to have your training recorded and a video can be downloaded and this is also a FREE service. You must be wondering when you are going to start paying.
The training packages are cost effective from pay as you go to all inclusive packages including a trainee driving instructor package. The training is flexible centered on you the pass rates are excellent and you have at your disposal one of the most qualified and experienced trainers in the country.
If you want to be an approved driving instructor earning between 20k and 30k and working hours that are flexible to your lifestyle being able to write expenses off against tax like fuel, car, mobile phone etc then don’t miss this opportunity act now pick up the telephone ring me now, I can help, you have nothing to lose but you have a lot to gain. Don’t be fooled by some salesman talk to the engineer not the oily rag.
Thank you for listening to me my name is Graham Hooper I am 1st 4 Driving Education.

It was good to get back to teaching a learner today. Only my third learner this year the other two passed first time. May have something to do with my price 35-40 pounds an hour.
A challenging learner 46 years old had five instructors 20 years ago and failed 3 tests suffering from anxiety and stress through looking after an ageing relative plus trying to give up smoking a great combination.
It is though one of the most rewarding jobs when you have a great training session used Cognitive behavioural coaching and the ABCDE model worked a treat. She ends up taking a picture of me and the car at the end of the lesson to show to all her friends.

Today’s advanced driving session was a pre test assessment including elements in Motorway, Rural and Town driving. Weather conditions where atrocious on the Motorway with visibility quite low no apparent change in other drivers behaviour applying four seconds of separation distance was interesting plus working in a bubble of space.
Independent driving in town was difficult as white paint on a wet road was difficult to spot. What is it about spiral one way systems and roundabouts. If you want to be a meat in a sandwich travel over the bridges in Maidstone following the signs and road markings. My client was challenged but found the commentary driving enabled them to focus. Oh and a parcel force van had driven into a bus stop facing the wrong way in a one way street serious damage, fortunately no one was hurt.
Rural roads wet leaves and slippery conditions always being in the correct position-speed-gear helped my client. They used this as a continued check list for the varied conditions that the rural drive brought. A good session.

Great training session today helped with instructional techniques with regard to a check test Focused on bite size chunks and acting on fault identification immediately. Getting the pupil involved in the analysis and the use of questions with regard to remedial action.
Demonstrated some coaching techniques using the clients pupil which where successful and produced results straight away. So that was great endorsement for the benefits of coaching.

Second client had a free video coaching session which they have taken home to reflect upon and again the client was extremely pleased with their session.

Finally met a potential new client that wants to become an ADI and look forward to a successful relationship building for the future.

Hi All
If you go to my website www.1st-4.org and put your email address in to the top left hand corner you will receive updates automatically from this blog.

I have read some articles in magazines lately that have slated coaching in driving education. I was wondering how many people know that coaching has its foundation based on Psychology. Coaching can be many faceted and I thought I would mention a few coaching models and approaches just so as a wider audience would become aware. So here goes

Behavioural Coaching
Solution-focused Coaching
Cognitive behavioural Coaching
NLP Coaching
Transpersonal Coaching
Integrative Coaching
Intercultural Coaching

Do you want to know more ? or Would you prefer to run a mile? We all use coaching in one form or another on a daily basis but how well do we understand coaching?

Just thought I would mention that a new and exciting partnership has developed called Tri-coaching partnership. There is a lot I could say but not much I can say. Keep a date in mind March 10th 2011.
Look out for information from ADI’s about ‘Bang goes the coaching theory” ‘and its all lies’ there will be some more information over the next few weeks and months.
I am sorry this is all a bit cloak and dagger but there is nothing like a good detective story just keep looking for the clues.
