Coaching 101 is a practical, down-to-earth introduction to coaching techniques tailored specifically for driving instructors.
This course is all about helping you support your pupils on a deeper level—building their confidence, encouraging independent thinking, and creating an environment where meaningful learning can happen. You’ll learn how to shift from simply giving instructions to having powerful, pupil-led conversations that unlock progress.
We’ll look at how to guide goal setting in a way that motivates learners, how to handle those common “I don’t know” moments, and how to support pupils in recognising and overcoming their own limiting beliefs.
This course also gives you the tools to structure coaching sessions more effectively, tune into what your pupils are really saying through active listening, and use questioning techniques that help them reflect, problem-solve and grow. Whether you’re new to coaching or simply looking to sharpen your approach, Coaching 101 will give you fresh ideas, confidence, and clarity to bring into every lesson—helping your pupils not just pass, but truly understand.
