Chris Bensted

The ExeL Podcast ·

2023/05/19

Chris Bensted is the epitome of someone who has a thirst for knowledge and self-improvement. He has a passion for giving other ADIs the opportunities to gain knowledge and experience to help them also become better at their work. Preparation for the theory test is something many of us leave to our learners with little meaningful input. `This means those who really struggle with the language and prose used in the questions can find it extremely difficult to pass and take multiple attempts in order

Advanced Driving

The ExeL Podcast ·

2023/04/28

In order to qualify as an approved driving instructor (ADI) we all need to pass a driving test at a higher standard than a learner test. But how many of us take a further advanced driving test to ensure our driving is still at the highest standard possible? I talk with two members of the Exeter and East Devon Advanced Drivers and Riders RoSPA group about the demands of the RoSPA advanced driving test. Ian Pruce is the group's membership secretary and Jo Gifford is a committee member who is keen to

In this episode I talk with two of my own past learners about their experience learning to drive. Georgia came to Devon from her home in Kent to take a job at a local hotel having taken lessons with an instructor at home. Georgia's lessons were interrupted by the last of the Covid lock downs but she passed at the first attempt on the second day of tests resuming in April 2021. Abbey lives a stones throw from my house and started lessons with me at the ripe old age of 28 (!). She explains why she

Listen to Ella describing how she became a driving instructor.

She posted because she wanted to get better. Ella also started her own home business during lockdown in 2020 - and she also finds time to be a fab wife and mother!
