Information for ADI students
As a professional instructor you will, from time-to-time, be asked 'technical' questions. While you don't need to be an expert technician, it is useful to know the basic component parts of your vehicle.
Remember, care-car is essential for your business and for the safety of your pupils, other road users and yourself. Plus, of course, you need to be able to teach the basics to your pupils for 'Show me-Tell me'
Being lazy is no excuse... (Unless you fancy drawing unemployment benefit!)
