driving instructor training 3

Emily Croker provides professional training, coaching and mentoring for potential and qualified driving instructors throughout the UK.

Having always been passionate about road safety, Emily commenced her career as a driving instructor, quickly progressing to becoming an ADI Grade A. Keen to broaden her skills, she also qualified as a Fleet Trainer and delivered training for fleets (vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and trailer towing).

Never one to ‘rest on her laurels’ Emily made the decision to transition to an Instructor Trainer, a role that involves developing advanced coaching skills in order to coach trainee instructors. During this time in her career she held the position of senior trainer, regularly delivering one-to-one in-car training sessions, and online and classroom workshops.

Emily firmly believes in learning from both her peers and experts in the field, in order to further develop her knowledge, skills and understanding, the aim being to continually improve and be the best that she can be. Emily has had the privilege of receiving training from ORDIT Trainer, Brian M Stratton ADI, one of the UK’s highest qualified and most widely experienced trainers. She is ORDIT trained and is currently awaiting the ORDIT register to open.

Mission Statement

At EmPower our mission is to elevate the overall standard of driving tuition by developing highly skilled professional driving instructors by means of education, client-centred learning and safe driving techniques. Coaching and tuition provided is always done in a supportive, relaxed and friendly manner, with an emphasis placed on doing (practical application) and understanding (theoretical knowledge and instructional techniques).

We will always endeavour to work in a collaborative manner, aiming to foster an environment where driving instructors feel empowered – confident, competent and in control, and feel able to achieve their goals and dreams. We believe that this type of approach builds trust, strengthens the coach-client relationship, and leads to greater motivation, growth and a sense of accomplishment.

Having struggled with my training and thinking that I had absolutely no chance of passing my Part 3 I was lucky enough to meet Emily. All of a sudden everything started to make sense and I passed to become an ADI. I genuinely don’t think I would have had a chance without Emily’s training and for that I will be forever appreciative. Not only is Emily a superb trainer but as importantly as that, she is a lovely person who is always available to answer your queries. 10/10 isn’t enough!
- Paul, ADI

I highly recommend Emily as a driving instructor trainer. After completing my basic training with a large company, I was left feeling confused and aware that I was missing a lot of key information around the core competencies, particularly for the Part 3. Emily provided me with in-depth, structured training and took the time to really explore and understand my individual areas for development. She explained concepts clearly and in a way that made sense. As a result, I went into my Part 3 feeling well prepared and I passed first time. Emily has continued to support me as a newly qualified ADI. After my observation lessons with Emily, I always feel motivated to develop further with a clear plan on how to achieve my goals. She is kind, approachable, very knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about teaching to a high standard
- Helen, ADI

I have had the privilege of having Emily’s professional help in my quest to become the best driving instructor I can be. She has sat in on my lessons and I have attended in person and online workshops with her. Her feedback when observing my lessons has always been delivered clearly, concisely and with kindness. She provides constructive comments along with praise on what I’ve managed well. I consider she is fair, honest, thorough and professional. It’s very clear that her standards are high and she genuinely cares about helping you reach them in your career in driving instruction. Her delivery of workshops both in person and online is exceptional. She has in-depth knowledge and she makes the interactive learning experience not only rewarding but enjoyable. I always come away from time with Emily feeling like I’ve learnt something valuable. Thank you Emily!”

- Andy, ADI

I can’t thank Em enough for the support, knowledge and confidence she gave me throughout my training to become an ADI. Her knowledge is invaluable and I don’t think I would have got through the Part 3 without her guidance. I would 100% recommend her if you are looking to become an ADI.
