Do you sometimes feel more like a counsellor or therapist than a driving instructor?
It’s not surprising when 50% of your pupils are likely to suffer anxiety… and, according to the World Health Organisation, that figure is on the increase.
Learn amazing unique techniques to help your pupils with driving anxiety and test nerves, and for your own Part 2/3 or SC anxiety as well!
This workshop gives you a unique insight into your pupils’ minds; why they behave the way they do, and strategies to deal with even the most challenging students… ensuring you become the ‘go to’ instructor.
What will you gain from the workshop?
An in depth insight into how the mind works: understand why pupils do what they do, and more importantly, how to deal with it!
Anticipatory Anxiety – when several of the brain’s processes shut down meaning learning just can’t take place – Learn strategies to combat it
How to deal with Auditory Exclusion – when what you say ‘goes in one ear and out the other’!
Strategies to control negative emotions such as fear, stress, nerves, panic, anxiety, intimidation
Ten second technique to stop your pupils muddling up left and right!

What an amazing day! Both Diane and Chris are the perfect team and so passionate about this course! I highly recommend to anyone and believe me it will change your look on life without a doubt. I will not only take away everything I’ve learned for work but also for my personal life which has helped me so much already! I will definitely be attending again 🙂
Simon Smith (verified owner) –
What an amazing day in Middlesbrough. Diane and Chris really know their stuff and are passionate about the content of the workshop. Highly recommend everyone experiences this workshop, it’ll help so many people in your life and the pupils you teach. It’s certainly made me a better ADI and put the practises into motion already. Thanks again guy’s!
ANDY McDONALD (verified owner) –
All of us from The-Driving-Academy attended the course and everyone took so much from it. Both Diane and Chris work perfectly together and bounce off each other to give real life examples and kept it relevant to the audience. You will gain so much from the course and will help you in so many ways both professionally and privately. The after course support and resources are also very very good. It’s an L of a course 😉
Darran Shaw –
What a day, I’ve been a adi for 26 years and attended many cpd courses but this course was one of my favourites. So full of content and interaction. So pleased I got our company involved Diane and Chris, they’re very passionate about what they do and nothing was a trouble , even the follow up support.
This is a must course for any ADI that that looks to better themselves and to give support to others. A valuable tool to have in your kit.
Rach & Ed –
Ed & I attending the driving test nerves specialist workshop, the day was packed with loads of information on how to help students (and ourselves) to understand nerves and the best way to deal with them, we’ve already used TFT therapy to address negative emotions through tapping and it works, one student explained how it was the most relaxed lesson she had experienced resulting in a fantastic lesson, if you have any doubts about this course don’t, it’s fantastic!
Edward Galbraith –
Thank you Diane and Chris for the amazing workshop in Exeter! It truly opened my eyes as to why pupils (and others) do what they do and more importantly how to support them in changing those negative thoughts and behaviours. I am about to use it for a pupil who failed twice due to nerves. This course has definitely changed me as an ADI and I can truly recommend any one to take this course. The passion and knowledge both Diane and Chris have for this subject is infectious and I’ve definitely caught the bug. I can’t wait to put the things I learned into practice. I’m so excited to have begun this journey!
Neil Dack (verified owner) –
I attended the course just outside of Exeter. Chris and Diane presented the course really well and kept the audience alive with banter, interaction and the odd comedy moment. At times I wondered where things were going and how it fitted. However, that soon came to light and things made sense.
Chris and Diane are both very passionate about what they do and I would highly recommend their courses to anyone. Hopefully now I can put it into practice!!
Martin Goodwin (verified owner) –
Today I attended the Driving test nerves specialist workshop with Chris and Diane.
The course is so much more than that. It will add some much to your tool box of tricks for everyday lessons and life in general.
What could be a very serious and dry subject is made interesting, insightful and fun. Keeping you engaged all day.
Thanks guys ill see you on Zoom next week.
Jenna Patmore (verified owner) –
Fabulous workshop!!!!
Diane and Chris were so welcoming on arrival.
The course was interesting and comical at times which made it engaging and very informative. I learnt so much.
I can now even go in a lift without too much fear after learning the tappy hand dance from Diane. Worth a try for anyone that is nervous.
Would love to do another of Diane’s workshops again just because it was so fun!
Reccommend to everyone.
Matthew Hale (verified owner) –
Attended the Ashford workshop today. What an amazing day, both Diane and Chris were awesome. Such an information packed day, loads to put into practice, here’s hoping my students can feel the benefits too. Thanks guys and thanks to all the other attendees who made it such a great day.
vikki cheffings (verified owner) –
I attended the driving test nerves workshop last week in Poole.
Diane and Chris are both so warm and welcoming and not forgetting super passionate!
The theory behind the methods and how our minds and bodies react is really mind blowing.
I wanted to know how to input this into my lessons, rather than leaving my pupils to complete the course online and potentially not make use of the techniques.
I had a new pupil this week who was partly trained, the first 5 minutes of her drive the lefts and rights were all muddled. We stopped, took some breaths and did some tapping together. Safe to say as this was my first meeting with the pupil, she instantly thought i was as mad as a box of frogs! Guess what……she never muddled up the lefts and rights for the rest of the lesson – result! She also said her arms felt lighter, like they were floating and a weight was lifted. Amazing and instant results.
Diane and Chris have managed well to compact this course into one day. I never felt overwhelmed with information or wordy books or paperwork. The quick guides are perfectly structured and I’ve been able to quickly flick back to them for a relevant tap. Thank you both, this is simply an amazing course and I know you will both continue to support us all going forward
Marshall Hollis –
After attending a Zoom workshop with Diane and using Driving Test Nerves Pro with my pupils and seeing the benefits first hand, I then decided to attend an in person workshop in Bournemouth in March 2025. It was great to meet other ADI’s, Diane and her partner Chris. They provided an excellent day and showed us some of the techniques they use to help their pupils. I thoroughly believe in TFT, and have pupils who have benefitted from using these techniques. A great day and would recommend to any PDI or ADI.
Lee Kennedy –
Recently completed the driving test nerves workshop with Chris and Diane. Fantastic content and well structured with strong engagement between attendees and the hosts (Chris and Diane). What Chris discussed was not only insightful but the deep dive really helped built clarity on the ‘why’ our psychology does what it does. Diane then provided the ‘means’ on how to support and deliver changes to our emotions (inner chimps in this case), keeping them in check and allowing logic to voice itself when stress, anxiety and panic sets in. Any barrier to learning, be it physical or neurological, will always prevent growth which ultimately limits our ability to reach self-actualisation!. Being a trained NLP coach myself, I can absolutely relate and understand how every word of content from this workshop has the power to physically change our learners actions simply by better understanding that ‘inner chimp’.
What Chris and Diane don’t know yet is….I will be attending this course annually to ensure I am providing the very best of me to my learners and keeping the standards-check a means of self assessment and NOT the devil of a scary thing to worry about!
Ellis Wood –
Been wanting to go to one of Diane’s workshops since, well, a long time but always been too busy. Now my pupils are, more often than not, coming to me with anxiety issues. It is the real pandemic for sure. Anyway I couldn’t put it off any longer and I am glad I didn’t. This course is both informative and fun, empowering and insightful. I really enjoyed meeting Diane and Chris and much more surprised by Chris to be fair. I knew Diane was good but didn’t know Chris. Having an interest in psychology I already knew some things but this course settled them for me and more. Being empathetic in driver education is a bonus but sadly that particular trait is on a downward spiral (fact: see Chris) with our pupils. Hopefully we can show them what it’s like to be on the receiving end of empathy and foster a change. Loved the course, low cost compared to many others. Would highly recommend.
Donna Sumner –
13 of our BDS Driving School Instructors attended a 1 day workshop run by Dianne and Chris. WOW! The workshop was informative and well structured and presented well. They are both very likeable and obviously very passionate about what they deliver. I am excited to have this “skill” available to the instructors in the driving school, I am sure both the instructors and their students will benefit immensely. Its a win-win. Students get support on lessons and test and instructors have coping strategies for their own standards check! Part of the course we saw the techniques performed on people on the course and well – its mind boggling – BUT IT WORKS! I have been telling loads of people about it. I know for a fact it has helped my mum with her panic attacks and also my grandchild aged 11 when she woke with her night terrors! I am confident that the techniques on this course work! Get booked – you wont regret it
Markus Warwick (verified owner) –
I recently attended Diane and Chris’s Driving Test Nerves Workshop, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment I walked in, Diane and Chris created a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone involved. They have a genuine warmth and compassion that immediately put me at ease.
I’ve struggled with test nerves my entire life. Despite my professional successes, the anxiety before exams or tests has always been a major hurdle for me. To be honest, I was initially a bit sceptical about whether these techniques would make a difference. But Diane’s approach truly works! The exercises and mental strategies they shared are practical and incredibly effective. When I went in for my recent part 2 test, I felt unexpectedly calm and confident—a complete turnaround from my usual pre-test anxiety.
Now, I’m excited to pass these techniques on to my own pupils once I am on my pink licence, knowing first-hand how empowering they are. Diane and Chris, thank you for sharing your expertise and creating such a transformative experience. You’ve made a real difference, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
Haste –
Fantastic workshop, still trying to wrap my head around how it all works, but I can tell you from first hand experience, after attending my workshop…. IT DEF WORKS….. Will be attending again very soon and spreading the word already. Thank you Diane & Chris.
Tina Miller (verified owner) –
This course was excellent. Packed full of useful information and advice on helping people with anxiety and nerves. Perfect for test students but actually I believe the information I have received would help anyone dealing with nerves or anxiety in every day life situations. Highly recommended.
Tommy Lynch –
I had heard Diane’s name being mentioned a few times in relation to nervous pupils, but I’d never gotten around to looking into it any further, and then Diane put a post on to say that there was a couple of spaces left on the course in Glasgow and having a nervous pupil going to test soon I thought I’d go and even if there was a couple of things that I could use to help a couple of the pupils I’d take the hit and chalk it up to experience.
It couldn’t have been more different from what I had imagined.
I genuinely don’t have the words to say how amazing this course was. It’s a real insight into how pupils (and everyone else) thinks, and the development of the Chimp Model that they have done to help understand, explain, and manage test (and other) nerves is astounding. I honestly wish I had done this course 20 odd years ago as it would have helped me so much in my previous career, and I have no doubt it’s going to make a huge difference in this one.
It was also great to meet so many PDIs and ADIs who are committed to making the learning experience for their pupils the best it can be and a revelation to some of the negative comments I hear from pupils about previous instructors.
The resources and follow up support you get is really good and if you go on the course make sure you take advantage of it.
I WILL NOT be booking the course the next time it’s up in Scotland however. Only because EVERY instructor who is wants to provide the best learning environment for their pupils NEEDS to get on this course. Otherwise I’d be back on the next one in a heart beat.
Nicola Hitchcock (verified owner) –
I attended this amazing course by Diane and Chris yesterday and it was fantastic! As trainers they were both very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. The course was very well structured with plenty of interaction throughout the day.
I now have a better understanding and feel in a much better position to help my pupils through their journey to learn to drive and have already started to apply it to myself as well. I can’t wait to start this with my learners and apply it to my own family.
I would highly recommend this course, it’s a must!
Mel @ Mel’s Driving School (verified owner) –
I attended the workshop today and I absolutely loved it! ! Diane and Chris were AWESOME !
It was an eye opener to say the least, very informative and full of techniques for me to use going forward. I have a much greater understanding of how my pupils are feeling/thinking and a lot of it also applied to me too!
It was a great learning environment, but it was also very friendly, interactive, and I felt welcome immediately. I would 100% recommend this course.
I know my pupils will be getting a much better version of me and themselves now I’ve taken this course.
Thankyou 🙂
Tracey Hammett (verified owner) –
What a fantastic course, some great and valuable information, I was completely hooked all day! Venue was easy to find, lunch and hot drinks were lovely.
Diane and Chris are lovely trainers and people, you can definitely tell that alot of research has been done and they are at the top of their field.
Really learnt alot, and to add that is was good to chat to all levels of experienced driving instructors, from PDI to those with long service.
We all showed commitment to the industry and professionalism.
Great day all round 🙂
Claire Baker (verified owner) –
Diane and Chris what an absolute pleasure to have met you both today, I have no doubt at all that the information and techniques I have learnt today will help my learners and my own nerves. The course was so informative and I haven’t stopped talking about it to my husband for the last 2 hours since I have returned home and how we can use some of the techniques with our teenagers. Thank you for bringing your course to Scotland. I look forward to seeing you both soon on the next course I am able to attend.
Nicki (verified owner) –
AMAZING!
This course is amazing for anyone who has anxiety or nervousness in their car either from themselves or their pupils.
Diane and Chris explain the psychology behind every type of situation that you might experience with a pupil to help you to identify the behavioural causes.
You’re then given the skills and techniques to be able help!
Can’t wait to put these skills into practice!
Keiran Williams – Access Driving (verified owner) –
A course all ADI’s should do! Comprehensive, thought provoking and at time challenging. Many elements of this course will be added to my day to day work, some elements will be use as one off as necessary tools to support specific students. Skills and tools I didnt have before. Much of this should be in our basic training as an ADI.
Karen Smith (verified owner) –
Diane and Chris are, in one word – AMAZING!
Attending this course really has changed me, in ways I can’t quite explain.
A perfectly structured day. Actually emotional, with so much relevance in today’s society.
This course material should be included when PDI’s are training (and there were some in attendance, lucky things!) and the DVSA should make this a recognised ADI qualification!
I’m proud to know them and to know that they are there should I need them is priceless!
Sharing this with my learners so far this week has been brilliant and very well received.
The resources afterwards, the techniques and support given will change people’s lives!
I have no doubt!
I’ll be doing the course again!
Brilliant!
Highly recommended!
Thank-you.
Gordon Palmer-Taylor (verified owner) –
A very comprehensive and thought provoking course . Not just theory but many real-life practical tools with many resources and follow-up support provided. Much needed CPD by all P.D & A.D.I’s which should be acknowledged by the DVSA as essential.
A very welcoming and light-hearted environment is created by Diane and Chris but which gets-the-point-across via a strong well-srtructured course. Money well spent.
Lee Parker –
I had a really great day on this course and would thoroughly recommend it. The course gave a lot of information in a fun and friendly way. Having the conversations with learners and using the techniques I learned meant we were able to take away most of the anxiety to do with learning new things and the fear of getting it wrong. I feel that this has given me something extra to offer my learners to make me stand out from the crowd and to offer them the support they need. Thank you Chris and Dianne
Des Sancho –
A big thank you to Diane and Chris for a brilliant course. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. The course has made me realise a lot of things. Especially how I come across to pupils and even myself. I went away with so many techniques and ideas which I am looking forward to testing this out. My only regret is not doing this course sooner. Thanks again.

Driving Test Nerves Workshop
Wow, from sceptic to convert in one workshop!
Not really given any thought to this type of approach before but having put my chimp in his place and learned about the techniques we can utilise, not only on ourselves but future learners and family/friends who may suffer with nerves, it has been a real eye opener.
I have already used the chimp method to pass my part 2, typically having had negative or toxic thoughts in the past I utilised this amazing approach and it really does work. Thank you.
Chris and Diane are a great duo and present it in such a way to make it easy to understand.
Look forward to implementing the stuff I’ve learned today going forward.
Louise Pickford (verified owner) –
If I could give Diane and Chris 10 stars I would!
I went into this with an open mind and was blown away. The presentation was wonderful from both Diane and Chris. It was heartfelt, engaging, understandable and so very informative from start to finish and IT WORKS!
I have suffered with Anxiety long term and also have a lot of clients with general daily anxiety and thats before they even think of booking their driving test. I have used the techniques from the workshop on myself and my students and they have all benefitted from it straight away.
I can’t reccommend this highly enough, invest in yourself and give the workshop a go, its fab 🙂
Steph young –
Fantastic workshop. Informative, whilst funny parts too…and some serious moments. Diane and Chris are the perfect partnership and willing to help in any way they can. This has already helped me (only on the course yesterday) and will without doubt help my pupils. Cannot recommend enough
Chris Deller (verified owner) –
Attending the Driving Test Nerves Specialist Workshop was an enlightening experience. The techniques and insights offered by Diane and Chris are game-changers for both driving instructors and learners grappling with test and lesson anxiety. As someone constantly seeking ways to support my students effectively, this workshop has equipped me with valuable tools to help them overcome nerves, enhancing their confidence and competence. Highly recommended for any ADI looking to elevate their teaching and support their students through their driving journey. A transformative experience!
Katrina Villette –
I attended the workshop on the 15th March 2024 in Northampton. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, Diane and Chris were very friendly and welcoming. The workshop content was very informative and I’ve already signed up some of my students to the Driving Test Nerves course. From a personal point of view, I’ve struggled with my own mental health recently and have always lacked confidence in my own ability. I left on Friday buzzing, and was smiling all the way home, thank you. I would highly recommend this workshop.
Phil Johnson (verified owner) –
I attended this course on 15th March 2024, and I had a great day.
Diane and Chris were great, very friendly and approachable.
I went with an open mind, and by the end I was definitely a convert.
I would recommend this workshop to anyone with nervous pupils and those who suffer from nerves themselves.
Josh Jarvis & Dave (My Chimp) –
I attended Dianes course on 1st March 2024, I found it very informative and interesting. Never taking a course like this before, it most certainly opens up your eyes aswell as your mind. Iv no doubt, what I’ve learnt will help my pupils (and myself) with their inner Chimps!
Shelley Fieldhouse (verified owner) –
Absolutely brilliant course. Exceeded my expectations. Right from the start Diane and Chris warmly welcomed each and every one of us. Such an insightful day with relevant content covered. Within 2 days of instruction, I have already used the techniques mentioned to help support a nervous pupil. Would highly recommend to every PDI/ADI.
Charlotte Williams (verified owner) –
I attended the Driving Test Nerves workshop on 1st March 2024. From the get go, both Diane and Chris were very welcoming and warming. It is clear to see how knowledgeable and passionate they are about their training and were both so engaging and fun to listen to. I am so glad Diane recommended for me to attend this course as this won’t only give me more tools to help my learners but also I know this will help me. I cannot wait to implement the different techniques that I now have access to thanks to Diane and Chris. I truly feel that EVERY person in this industry should take this course. Thank you so much.
Ray Belchamber –
so glad i took this workshop. so informative. in this age of so much pressure on students, all instructors need the tools to help them as well as the pressure on us when it comes to our standards check.
cant recommend it enough. if your thinking about it, just do it
Mike Mcgowan (verified owner) –
It happened a couple of weeks ago. The course was fantastic very informative and before i was unsure about staying as a driving instructor but I am now staying Thanks Diane and Chris
Tony Bowman –
The DT nerves workshop was highly informative and engaging, as is the follow up material which, nearly two months later, I’m still working my way through. Dianne and Chris are engaging speakers with an unsurpassable passion for their subject. I’ve gained a tremendous understanding of how to understand and better respond to my student’s needs, which isn’t confined to nervousness and anxiety. At the same time, the techniques and understanding gained have genuinely helped me to re-evaluate and improve my teaching and communication skills which will benefit all my students. Highly recommended!
Sean Oaten –
Hi Diane. I thought I would drop you a quick message to let you know how it’s going after a year of your workshop.
Last year I was struggling with passes and getting frustrated that I couldn’t help my students anymore with the knowledge I had. I always believed I could teach people to drive but I didn’t realize that most of the fails were not down to me not being able to teach, but helping them with their minds. Your course has helped me help them!!!
Last year I had 14 passes and plenty of fails and this year I have had 38 tests with 31 passes. So for me it’s clearly showing that passing on yours and Chris’s course to my pupils has worked. So thanks for the course and hopefully I’ll be able to get on another one soon!!
All the best
Sean
Steve Pearce –
I recently attended a course and tried the breathing exercise the next day and got instant results – just before a pupils driving test.
I know it’s sort of hard to believe – but you need to go into this with an open mind and see the results for yourself. There are various breathing and tapping exercises dependant on the “issue”. One that has had results is for mixing up left and right – and that’s worked a couple of times already – I like to know how things work – but feel this is beyond me, so I’m just going with it…
I attend courses and take notes, and then reflect on the day – the great thing is you get plenty of material to go through after the event – covering what was discussed on the day – as it is a lot of information, I took it all in – but haven’t retained it so need to work through the course so I feel more confident using it. Well Done Diane!
Graham Carter –
AMAZING COURSE and PEOPLE!!! I attended The Test Nerves workshop Nov 23 and it is so much more than the title suggests. I highly recommend attending the workshop!! Diane and Chris have created a course that is insightful, has loads of take away techniques you can use and lots of support and resources. Chris and Diane are engaging, humorous and most abundantly clear they are passionate about their subject. Best CPD I have done this year by far. This will take you to the next level as a ADI by enabling you to help those students who suffer nerves, anxiety, dread, panic , sequencing problems and much more. I started using the techniques the next day and they made a huge difference.
I have since signed up to the online course for myself and my students, it’s an invaluable resource. The course is easy to follow, east to administrate when adding and managing students. a bargain
Lynne Turner –
I completed this course by Diane and Chris last week and I couldn’t recommend this workshop enough. It was the most informative and entertaining course I have ever attended. It has truly opened a whole new world of opportunities and resources for me to not only help myself but to help my pupils. I have already used the tapping technique on three pupils to help them stop messing up their lefts and rights and all three are working through the online resources. I had got to the point where I felt I was unable to help one of my pupils who is a fantastic driver and goes to pieces on his driving test and this was making me doubt my teaching ability, but now I feel I have the tool kit to help him pass. Thank you so much for all your time and resources.
Rachael Lloyd-Phillips –
I have completed a course with Diane almost 10 years ago, and had amazing results from the thought field therapy techniques, not just with learners on lessons and test, but with my own confidence, enabling me to deliver higher quality training. For a couple of pupils over the years I know it has been life changing for them.
Last week I attended Diane and Chris’s course, learning more about the background behind peoples struggles today. with the additional knowledge I feel even more confident to use the techniques with my learners. It has also opened my eyes to the fact there is still so much more to learn, and so much more I can do as a trainer to help my clients. It is going to take me some time to digest all the information, but I am insured and excited to do so. Thank you so much, in just 2 days of work I have been able to offer more help to 2 clients than I could before. It feels great to increase the value to my training for my clients.
I will certainly highly recommend you.
Hayley Burrows –
I would highly recommend that all instructors, or indeed anyone dealing with young adults, attend one of these courses. I have often find myself floundering for the way to help nervous pupils. Since attending the course I feel that finally have a set of tools and resources to help.
Thank you so very much Diane and Chris.
Paul Reilly –
As a driving instructor who works with the really nervous and those who’ve had multiple test failures elsewhere, I had adequate tactics and strategies in place. But the workshop and the content you can get your clients exposed to has meant I can access next level help , support and understanding for those whom I try to help. Diane and Chris know their stuff and then some. If you’re only going to invest once in yourself to be a better all round instructor, then do this workshop is my advice.
My thinking has changed and you’ll get your clients thinking to change, and the wins will be massive when you do.
Ross Whitehead –
I completed this course by Diane and Chris a few weeks ago and I am getting fantastic results from my pupils.
I had one lad who broke down in tears so I did some breathing with him. I Then did the tapping. His words were that was weird. I feel different but I can’t explain it. he went on to having a great lesson.
Another person was really nervous for her test. We sat in the car just before her test and I played the video of Diane. She followed Diane and done everything that was asked. She felt totally different after. She went on to pass her test with one driving fault.
Really is amazing.
Peter Malone (verified owner) –
I rarely do reviews but this course with Diane and Chris is really a game changer for trainer drivers being able to look into the minds of your pupils. Just imagine that; into the minds of your pupils. The tapping technique does work because I have done it with my pupils. ‘Your emotions are faster than your logic’ was a classic, and my favourite; ‘your memories are hijacked when under acute stress.’ I’ve witness these and more of Diane’s techniques every day for the past 18 months after I attended this course. I’ve spent thousands on courses up and down the country, and I wish I knew about it years ago because this course will take you up another level. Thanks Diane and Chris
Kate –
Couldn’t recommend this workshop enough, so helpful and informative. Diane and Chris really know their stuff and are so friendly. Best workshop I have ever been to!
The topics were all so beneficial and interesting. Talking to others about there ways of coping and dealing with test day nerves and anxious pupils was game changing.
Would definitely attend again, even if just to help my own anxieties not my pupils!
Ramsay Bell –
The Highland Driving Instructor Association was formed to bring a sense of community in what at times, can be a very isolated role. The second reason, was to bring quality trainers to the Highlands who deliver diverse courses, but with very relevant skills. Diane & Chris’s workshops deliver just that, whether through the gaze of a PDI/ADI or as a human being, seeking a better understanding of how living and working affects us. They are qualified, experienced and do not disappoint. These skills are not just skills for work, they are skills for living!
What others say,
“Super day from start to finish, big thanks to all involved in arranging 🙏”
“Likewise from me, very interesting 👏👏”
“Absolutely enjoyed the course I’m going through test buddy right now.”
“Fantastic day. Captivated from start to finish.”
“Well worth doing a second time.”
“hank you so much for today’s workshop. Not only was it very interesting, but so nice to see such passion in Chris and Diane’s presentation.”
Gillian Fielding (verified owner) –
Diane and Chris are honestly the funniest and most engaging Workshop hosts I’ve ever experienced. They really do know what they are talking about and by the end of the day you will too! They have passion for what they do and that really comes across. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much during a workshop. I would definitely recommend this course to understand yourself if not your students too. Helping me with my phobia of spiders too was just the icing on the cake.
Alan Brown (verified owner) –
I attended this course which had been arranged by Highlands Driving Instructor Association. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but wasn’t disappointed. 👍 Diane and Chris are two of the most knowledgeable and passionate folk I’ve met on their subject. The workshop was presented in a great style, mixing presentation, client participation and appropriately leveled humour. The day passed extremely quickly. Learning in a relaxed, enjoyable way was great. This was geared towards the driving instructor community, so wasn’t too in depth on the day, just right to give us a skill and understanding level about the workings of the learner’s brain appropriate to our job. For those wishing more in depth information, the workshop is supported by access to a huge range of additional material, apps and video clips which can be readily used to expand our knowledge and to aid our pupils.
A great course, well worth the time and money… and genuinely useful too. Thoroughly recommend Lofaway2pass.👍
Susan Silver (verified owner) –
Looked forward to this course with Diane and Chris who didnt dissapoint and were totally awesome and amazing! They were so friendly and welcoming on arrival. With Diane being first and foremost a driving instructor then went on to be a therapist, and Chris a very well qualified therapist and trained instructor. What a fantastic wealth of information and insight from these two brilliant professionals. You could totally see how passionate they are about educating us instructors. Brilliant course and throughly enjoyed, plus access to tuns of free resources. Highly recommended 👌 👍
Andrew Hnat (verified owner) –
This course was fantastic. It was well presented not dull or boring in any way. It made me think about things differently and I learned a lot from the 7 hours. I now have a better understanding of how our brains work. Thanks Diane and Chris you are really nice people.
Richard Spiers (verified owner) –
I attended the Workshop in Swansea yesterday and it was amazing to meet Diane and Chris. They were so welcoming with huge smiles on their faces but at the same time so professional and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this course highly enough.
Diane and Chris have an enormous wealth of knowledge and are extremely generous with sharing it.
The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone in the room was friendly.
If this course has been on your radar, please book it as I promise you won’t regret it, it is well worth the investment.
I have learnt so much and can’t wait to put the new techniques and advice into practice.
Thank you so much, Chris and Diane, you were amazing.

I attended the Workshop in Swansea yesterday and it was brilliant to meet Diane and Chris. The stuff I have learned is incredible, and to be able to help Learners struggling with learning difficulties will be a massive use to me and the, and myself when it comes to SC’s. It was delivered in a nice relaxed atmosphere and there are so much Resources you get as well
Great Day
Thanks you Diane and Chris

A great course, a bit deep at times but very interesting. Diane and Chris try to explain things in simple terms.
Really glad I did it, even if it was a bit heavy at times.
Thanks to you both, enjoyed the day.

I can’t thank Diane Hall enough in helping me pass my part 3.
I honestly felt before that I wouldn’t be able to overcome my nerves and then I got in touch with Diane Hall.
I went on Diane’s driving test nerves specialist workshop. I found this workshop very engaging and quite frankly amazing. It allowed me to understand different techniques on dealing with my emotions.
Before I attending this course I failed my first attempt unfortunately my stomach was doing somersaults, my mouth was so dry, heart racing and honestly sleepless nights didn’t help.
Diane answered any questions that I had leading up to my test and kept me calm along the way which made me feel more at ease for my 2nd attempt.
These techniques I use everyday in my lessons with my pupils and I’m also my personal life.
Thankyou again for all of your help.
I would highly recommend getting in touch with Diana if you need support in dealing with any type of nerves for yourself or for your pupils.

I recently had the privilege of participating in the Driving Test Nerves Specialist workshop when it came to Leeds; And what a game-changer! If I could give more than 5 stars I really would!
Chris and Diane’s vast knowledge and genuine passion for helping others were evident throughout the course. The content was well structured and presented in a fun and helpful way, giving valuable insights into the science behind fear and anxiety and providing simple strategies to effectively manage and overcome nerves and other negative emotions. The group exercises and discussions fostered a sense of community among the attendees, enabling meaningful interactions and ensuring that everyone had a chance to contribute and learn from each other’s experiences.
Since completing the course I have seen wonderful growth from my learners who have readily taken on the techniques I have passed on to them and have used the methods myself to help me combat my own nerves, and pass my ADI part3!
I wholeheartedly recommend the Driving Test Nerves Specialist workshop to any ADI who wants to help their pupils unlock their true potential. This course is an invaluable investment in yourself and your business and will be a decision you won’t regret!
Lisa Kendall –
Wow, what an utterly brilliant workshop.
I cant recommend this highly enough.
Diane and Chris have an enormous wealth of knowledge and are extremely generous with sharing it.
The entire day was fabulous from the minute I walked in the door and was greeted with Chris’ huge smile, Diane displayed great warmth in her welcome too. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone in the room was friendly.
If this course has been on your radar, just do it, I promise you wont regret it, it is well worth the investment.
I have learnt so much and cant wait to put the new techniques and advice into practice.
Thank you so much Chris and Diane, you were amazing. 🤩

I attended the (Driving Test Nerves Specialist Workshop) in May 2022 and was completely down away!….
The workshop dealt with much more than preparing anxious learners for driving and test nerves. It explored the underlying issues that we all have and how to address these problems with real techiques that miraculously seemed to work.
During the workshop it dawned upon me that my whole life could have been very different had I known about the tools and techniques on how to control the mind. It made me ask what would my life be like if I could control my feelings and emotions and make logical decisions from a younger age!
I think it’s worth sharing that on that day I was quite overwhelmed by the realisations I was feeling and I burst into tears several times as my mind went back and forth into negative thoughts from my past. My headspace was a complete mess! On that day, I decided there was were several areas of my history that I needed to deal with and as a result got into Therapy with Chris and also had a tapping therapy session with Diane, who was one of the trainers on the day.
Chris informed me of his 20 week programme which would give me real life solutions to help me address my past.
19 weeks on! I am nearly free! The crazy 🤪 internal phobic dialogue that debilitated and clouded my mind is quiet 🤫 …I am in control of my thoughts and feelings and now make logical decisions. What a year 2022 has been!
I have been using the tools and techniques since the first workshop….Not just for driving, but also with friends and family struggling with anxiety, stress and panic attacks to great effect! I have even used the techniques to help pupils anxious about their theory tests and school exams!!
I honestly believe this should actually be taught in schools and I think it should be incorporated as part of the training to become an ADI – especially in the current post covid error where so many people are struggling with anxiety!
Chris and Diane, I cannot thank you enough for the work that you do! The course is incredibly rewarding! Words cannot express how grateful and blessed I feel. Thank you so much !💓
The reviews I get since going on the course all say the same thing! The evidence speaks for itself. Thank you! 😊 🫶🏾
Pennie Alexander (verified owner) –
I attended Diane’s course being very sceptical that the methods she promotes do actually work.
Now, I wish I had attended when I first met her about 4 years ago, the amount of individuals I could have helped not only with their driving, but in other areas of life too.
Diane and Chris are absolutely fabulous, such lovely and knowledgeable people.
Don’t do as I did, don’t wait, sign up to a course and help more people than you can imagine.
Kate Jones- Accelerate with Kate –
Well…where do I start? This workshop was absolutely brilliant. Informative, fun and a big learning curve!
Chris is so passionate about his work and he really hooks you into his mindset and it’s really eye opening…could genuinely listen to him for hours. Diane’s tapping techniques are just amazing…they really work. Tried it the very next day on a extremely nervous learner and it made a HUGE difference! (Also used it myself, found myself teaching differently the very next day…I can’t explain it!).
I may have to open a Zoo with the amount of chimps we’ve discovered ha !
Thank you both.
Stephen weir (verified owner) –
A very well thoughtful and professionally put together workshop Chris and Diane have produced! As a driving instructor who has been through a personal rollercoaster over the past few months, this course was perfect to understand all variety of potential issues that could arise with future client. This workshop is worth the weight in gold. I have personally learnt a lot and have been able to implement almost everything in lessons to pupils who suffer with all aspects of difficulties. On a personal level, it has also helped myself as a driving instructor, changing my lessons and approach around completely, and to even understand a lot in myself. You both have changed my life forever and I could not be anymore grateful ❤️
Philippa Etheridge –
Brilliant course, highly recommended for all driving instructors who feel like therapists!
I specifically did this course for one student, whose nerves and anxiety got the best of her on every test. Having attended the course this particular learner PASSED her 5th test 2 days later, I gave her the ABC treatment and she did it!
These aren’t just strategies for driving test nerves, these would work for any situation in life where your anxiety is high and confidence low.
Chris is brilliant on why we have a generation of snowflakes and Diane’s session on TFT (tapping) was astonishing.
Just starting to work my way around the resources included for post course support and very much looking forward to joining the Zoom sessions too.
Many thanks Diane and Chris.
Nikkie Bonner (verified owner) –
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!
What an amazing experience that was!
This course is not just about understanding driving test nerves….
Diane and Chris have had such an impact on my life. The course delved deep and helped me to understand and learn tools and techniques not just about driving test anxieties but in life as a whole.
I went for a driving test nerves specialist course but discovered that the course was way more than that!
Why isn’t this stuff taught in schools!!!??
Incredible!
I want my entire family to have your therapy! Lol
And so should all the Millennials… and their children! 😆
Ian Graham ADI – Bolton (verified owner) –
I decided to purchase a 1 day workshop course with Dianne Hall after seeing and then trying for myself Dianne’s simple method to help stop learner drivers mixing up their left and rights. I must admit I was skeptical and a little apprehensive about trying what Dianne was suggesting, as it seemed to me to be “a little off the wall.” However I had a student who was really struggling with this problem. So I told her what I had seen and asked her if she would be willing to give it a try, as after all we had nothing to lose. We were both amazed that it worked and worked so well. Being naturally cautious I tried it again with another student and had the same result and this convinced me that attending the workshop would be well worth my time and money. I wasn’t disappointed it really was one of the most useful and informative courses I have ever attended. Diane and her partner Chris kept the subject matter simple enough for someone new to the subjects discussed, but it was deeply interesting and thought provoking all the way through. There were lots of interactive sessions and group contributions. I learned so much and found the whole day thoroughly engaging. I highly recommend the course to any ADI who is looking for ways to help students manage nervousness and anxiety and improve their own understanding and coaching skills. Since attending the course I regularly incorporate what I have learned into my lessons and feel I have become a better more understanding instructor for doing so. Subsequently I have enjoyed the follow up zoom sessions with Dianne and Chris and have learned and continue to learn so much. I feel every driving instructor should be taught these worthwhile skills. I highly recommend you attend a workshop yourself. You will not be disappointed.
Kelly Isaacs (verified owner) –
Attended the course very recently. I found it very informative, interesting and certainly grabbed my attention. The day went too quickly. The subject matter is broken down into easy to understand ways. Group exercises were informative and eye opening. The demonstrations of certain techniques was fab. The course utterly kept me engaged throughout the day. Lots of help after the course with Test Buddy which is going to be a very handy tool.
Engaging presentations by the hosts.
Trudi Black –
I attended Chris and Dianne’s Driving Test Nerves course in Nov after attending one of Dianne’s Zoom sessions over lockdown, it was a real eye opener and answered so many questions and I really wanted to know more. This was a fantastic way to spend a day, real value for money, finally things started to make sense. As a driving instructor some days it’s more about learning how to deal with people and not just teaching them to drive there’s so much more to it, I took this course with one particular pupil in mind, even though I was very sceptical about the techniques, but I was amazed to see what a difference it made and in a very short time my pupil went from a complete and utter nervous wreak barely unable to get to the test Centre to passing her test with 2 faults after 7 failed attempts. Chris and Dianne made the course so much fun to do and I’m amazed by the amount of support that there is too after the course with the weekly zoom meetings which I find really useful they are so supportive and very enthusiastic about what they are doing they have inspired me to be a better instructor for my pupils as now I feel like I have many more tools to do this. I can’t recommend this course highly enough to all instructors,

I attended the workshop in Leeds in January 2022, I travelled down as it was the closest venue to where I am based and I’m so pleased I did!
Diane and Chris were amazing and explaining everything, it was like they’d flicked a switch and everything fell into place and it all made so much sense. The techniques I have learned are already benefiting my pupils as well as my children, no one is mixing up their lefts from rights anymore, the course was worth the money just for that! The weekly zoom sessions and the support that is offered after the course is fantastic and very helpful as there is so much more to learn than what can be covered in the one day course. I can’t recommend this enough, such good value for money and the value it’s added to my business is priceless.
Sharon Davies (verified owner) –
Well what can I say: amazing. It was very thought provoking and very, very helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Diane and Chris are wonderful people and explain things very well.
I was very excited after the course, when I got home and talked about it all night. I even tried some techniques on my family.
Thank you Diane and Chris, you are stars and you shine very brightly. I will be using the techniques in car
Alison Walker –
I attended your training course in November 2021. It was a great day where I learnt a lot! I had previously been on one of your zoom training courses over lockdown and this had started to get me thinking about how emotions did affect my pupils when taking their driving tests. This was the first time I learnt about ‘the limbic chimp’ and I could really recognise how this affected me when I was training for my part 3 in 2016.
The course went into much more detail as to why and how nerves really can sabotage any test of any descriptions. It gave us ideas on how to deal with these emotions and help our pupils get more out of their lessons. Simple techniques such as breathing can keep people calm so most of my lessons now start with a couple of minutes of simple breathing exercises. Getting rid of those nerves and acknowledging that what we are asking our pupils to do can make them feel really uncomfortable even though its completely natural to us. Our life is driving – we are suddenly asking a novice to take charge of a car and drive it and this can be terrifying.
The weekly zoom meetings allow us to talk about specific issues with pupils and also we have a bit of a community where we can ask each other for ideas / better ways to work. I feel I have definitely benefitted from the course and can see how my lessons have changed to help nervous pupils.
i would recommend this course to any ADI
Lynden Burgess –
This was probably one of the most useful courses I’ve ever attended. Chris and Diane are absolutely inspiring, and the content in the course is stuff that we don’t get taught for part 3 – or anywhere else, for that matter. I’ve noticed a difference in my approach to anxious students and they’ve made huge strides in overcoming their fears and being able to stay calm under pressure. Added to that, the weekly zoom sessions are so very useful, going deeper into the topics and helping to cement my learning and giving practical help where needed. I thoroughly recommend the course and definitely intend to attend it again at some point. Thanks, guys!
Louisa Thompson (verified owner) –
I can honestly say that attending Chris and Diane’s instructor training has changed the way I do my job. I use Diane’s techniques in the car with nervous pupils, as well as helping with specific phobias. I also apply their psychological understanding to everyday life outside of my job. The combination of their expertise works very well, and their methods are easy to understand. The amazing thing is that the course is just the start; they offer support, materials and training afterwards and are so happy to help. I am telling everyone about this course – it is well worth the investment!
Ian –
Not sure i should give this 5 stars as mainly because if everyone does this course they’ll know what I do!
So I took your course on Friday 3rd Dec and genuinely couldn’t wait till Monday to try it out..so i didn’t. I called a client that always asks for me to let her know if i have any spaces available and said i could do Saturday morning.
I will admit that i was a little bit sceptical about it working as well as Diane and Chris said but thought I’ll throw myself into it.
This client has two main problems, roundabouts and going over about 40mph.
I initiated the ABC and really got in deep conversation about her thoughts and feelings at round abouts.
Chimp was called Dorin (Her brothers name, they are Romanian)
Dorin was relegated to the boot and roundabouts became easy…the next thing shocked me. She asked to do a series of roundabouts which can only be accesses via a national speed dual carriageway. This is the thing, she self ABC’d.
We we’re suddenly doing 70 on a dual carriageway. The chimp had been relegated to holding onto the roof.
I don’t use the word amazing very often but this is amazing.
Invest in it, use it and you will become THE instructor.
Steve Thurlow (verified owner) –
I attended a recent course in London. I can honestly say it has altered the way i approach my lessons ,and above all my pupils now benefit from the techniques you will learn . The after course followup is very helpful and instant .
I cannot recommend taking part in these events and using the materials highly enough
Andy Sinker –
Having read L of a way 2 Pass I signed up to Driving Test Nerves Pro and have been using some of the techniques with my students I felt I needed to attend the workshop after the difference it had made to my students. Since my learners have had access to the ebook, videos and trying out techniques in the car my pass rate increased and I have been getting a lot more enquiries from people who feel anxious but have spoken to my students and feel that they would like to start lessons. Attending the day was an amazing experience. It was was very informative and really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this course to all ADI’s/PDI’s.
Rohan Borsberry –
Hi Diane,
Just thought I would drop you a line. Was lovely meeting you on Wednesday. I thought that your workshop was amazing. I was completely engrossed all the way through. Today I used the techniques on a lady who had never been on a motorway as she was terrified of driving on them. I managed to get her driving on the M20 and M2 using your Thought Field Therapy techniques. She was amazed.
Kathryn McCrave –
Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and have a good insight into how the techniques could be used to help all pupils – can’t wait to get started now
Stephen POUNDER –
I have been a driver trainer since 1985, when I qualified as a police class one instructor. I also joined the DVSA register upon retirement in 2004. I carry out a variety of training roles both with novice clients and also both fleet and police driver offender rehabilitation courses.
I was very impressed with your presentation and have used the techniques in all training environments since with very good results.
Max Hughes DVSA (ADI) Stoke on Trent –
Quick email to say thanks for a really great course, I was very impressed. Does this stuff work OMG! The OMG ! was today. In brief, I am working with a lady in her 40’s who had a very minor incident on the dual carriageway. No collision, but the back end of her car slid out, which has left her terrified to go near that stretch of road, and she goes to bits. She did the technique for anxiety whilst thinking about driving down that particular stretch of road, the most ‘feared’ bit. She then said ‘I can’t really remember which corner it was’…my jaw hit the floor as she had just told me that for 14 years she has been vividly picturing that corner….and now she can’t even remember which one it was!
Not only that, but she has just driven down that stretch of dual carriageway with totally relaxed body language; this is the first time in 14 years that she has driven on this particular road.
Andrea Fretter, IAM Advanced Drive –
First of all I would like to say a huge thank you for the workshop that you ran in at TTC House. I found it very informative and extremely uplifting. You delivered a top presentation and you made the workshop extremely interesting. I also appreciated that you went that mile further by helping me with the sleeping issues I have with my daughter. We are still fighting the battle, however we have gained two nights undisturbed sleep out of seven!!!
Thank you once again for your help and I wish you all the best for the future.

I attended a Workshop which was run by Diane Hall on ‘Thought Field Therapy’ I have attended many courses and workshops over the years and I have to say that this outshone all of them
Diane’s presentation style is brilliant. I was focused for the whole session, and left wanting more. I was sceptical about TFT but it worked! There is a particular part of one of the courses I run which I used to feel very anxious about. It worked for me. My confidence has increased hugely. I would recommend the workshop I attended to anyone.
Alan Prosser, NDORS Development Director, TTC Group, Telford, Shropshire –
TTC is a leading provider of driver training and education, delivering over 1,000,000 hours of driver education per year through our panel of over 350 trainers, many of whom are Approved Driving Instructors. As part of our commitment to our teams’ Continual Professional Development we commissioned Diane to deliver a series of inter-active Thought Field Therapy workshops to members of our trainer panel around the Country.
I was encouraged by her commitment and work-ethic, as well as the quality of her workshops and delivery. She demonstrated that she could deliver a quality product exactly in-line with the brief she was given. It was a pleasure to work with her on this programme, the feedback we have received from our trainers has been positive and highly complimentary. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
I would highly recommend Diane Hall to any organisation that is looking to offer its’ staff worthwhile development training.
Graham Tuffey DVSA ADI –
Thank you for a very professionally presented, entertaining and thought-provoking workshop.
I can’t wait to put your ideas into practice on my pupils (I have one this weekend where she will be tapping to ‘eliminate past trauma and upset’ and I will be tapping myself for the ‘frustration’ of not being able to help her more in the past.
I would not hesitate to recommend your book/ workshop to anybody wanting to find more effective ways to get through to students who otherwise might struggle to reach their full potential.

Would just like to say how much I enjoyed your course .You were professional and presented in a warm, passionate & knowledgeable manner which meant everybody was comfortable to contribute something & was able to take away some valuable learning points.
Trying to cover in a few hrs a vast subject is very difficult but you managed to provide a sound foundation.
I will recommend & endorse your course to others.
Michael Davis ADI (car) Chairman North Avon Driving Instructors Association –
Having attended a workshop run by Diane Hall I approached it with an open mind because as driving instructors we are constantly meeting people from all walks of life with differing learning requirements, so I feel we need to be able to adapt to whatever style of learning is required.
At the workshop Diane made everyone feel at ease and got everyone involved right from the start. Diane has an easy going style but is constantly keeping the subject matter interesting and lively. There are lots of interactive sessions ranging from slides to group activities and I found the whole workshop thoroughly engaging.
If you are thinking of using a change in approach to help people get over exam nerves, the system that Diane uses can certainly help and also change people’s concept about how to get rid of those negative feelings. When you listen to Diane talk on this you will see she is a person who is passionate about what she does and easily brings people around who are a little reserved about change.
Don Gilles –
From Don Gilles:
I purchased your excellent book “L of a way to pass”. Which is the main reason for writing. I read your book over a weekend and I can thoroughly recommend it. I was inspired to try ‘tapping’ with a pupil who had a test the following week. I had come to know Nancy (not her name) very well during our twice weekly sessions. A delightful girl with a steely determination that one day, no matter how long it took, she would become a driver. The first dozen lessons began with a car park session before she declared herself ready to face the road! A lack of confidence and various co-ordination issues made for slow progress. I forget how many lessons we had with her objective “Today I want to conquer roundabout’s”
Nancy developed into an excellent driver but on her 3 previous attempts at test she was extremely nervous. With test 4 a few days away she agreed to try your L of a way 2 Pass techniques. Sitting in the test centre she told me she “I don’t think it’s working.” But we had a final few taps and some deep breathing. She returned 40 minutes later with a 3 fault pass! In her own words “after a nervy 5 minutes I just settled down.” This was backed up by the driving examiner’s comments “You went off like your pants were on fire and picked up the faults by the end of the road. The rest of the drive was fine” It’s not possible to say how much the tapping helped, but I’m impressed by the result. I don’t know how it works but it does! Many thanks for writing such a useful book

The person you gave me advice on how to deal with his test day nerves passed on the first attempt following my using your guidance and L of a way 2 Pass techniques. Many thanks, and he has recommended my services to others
Lee jowett –
Having attended Diane’s workshop three times, I have to say how beneficial these workshops have been to myself and my clients….as a driving instructor helping clients to cope with anxiety and stress is a prerequisite, however it didn’t form part of my basic training. Diane’s and Chris’s techniques add real value to my services, but more than that they make a real difference to my pupils, in terms of test but most importantly to their life beyond the driving test. I can’t wait for the next workshop in December to see some of my instructors experience the workshop for the first time.
Chris Bensted –
We often say ADI training is lacking psychological skills. That our best drivers fail tests because of nerves and that ‘nothing can be done about it’.
That isn’t true – Diane and Chris’ insights and skills will help your training bridge that gap.
Simple tools that make the difference. I’ve attended 2 lots of Diane’s training, and heard her talk many times – I’m looking forward to my third experience! EVERY ADI and Examiner should be taught these skills.
