PDIA Website and Newsletter
Each member of the PDI has access to a free web page on the associations website, where they can enter details of their driving school and also add photographs, if they wish. The website has a members only forum, where they can share different views and ask advice from other Instructors. As the forum is password protected all messages are confidential.
Apart from the associations website, we also publish newsletter, that is sent out by email or post to all members, prior to each meeting. The newsletter contains information about our profession and also carries adverts. So if anyone is interested in placing an advert you can contact Paul on 01132 877 677 or mob 07947 139 260
