Each December, the IQ Advent Calendar opens its doors to the driving-instructor community — bringing 24 days of coaching tasks, reflective prompts, mini challenges and beautifully designed collectible tokens.
It’s a festive way for PDIs and ADIs to stay sharp, stay curious and stay connected during the busiest time of the year.
And it’s powered entirely by AI through a dedicated seasonal GPT.
Every day from the 1st to the 24th, participants can:
1. Open the Advent Calendar GPT
The tool reveals a new learning challenge each morning.
2. Type “Unlock today’s token”
The GPT releases the day’s festive driving-instructor task.
3. Complete the challenge
Activities range from coaching questions to hazard-spotting tasks, reflective exercises and creative thinking.
4. Earn that day’s unique token
Each token is beautifully designed in the signature gold-embossed IQ style.
Some days even hide bonus side quests that award rare tokens.
The Advent Calendar isn’t just fun — it’s purposeful.
It strengthens:
• Questioning technique
• Reflective practice
• Lesson planning
• Coaching skills
• Hazard perception
• Cognitive load awareness
• Self-evaluation
• Communication and empathy
Each task is short, accessible and designed to build the habits that make stronger PDIs and more confident ADIs.
Learning disguised as play — the best kind.
Across the month you can earn tokens themed around:
• Coaching
• Planning
• Observation
• Feedback
• Cognitive load
• CCL principles
• Standards
• Instructor creativity
Plus seasonal special editions like:
• Starburst
• Sleigh Bell of Standards
• Founders Firework
• Coaching Comet
They’re fun to collect — and even more fun to share.
Many instructors choose to share their tokens on:
• WhatsApp groups
Not only does it spark conversation, it brings the ADI community together in a positive, festive way.
The driving-instructor world can be serious, technical and sometimes overwhelming.
So we wanted to offer something different:
A moment of fun.
A spark of creativity.
And a learning tool disguised as a festive challenge.
The Advent Calendar represents what Instruct IQ stands for — modern approaches, joyful learning, and training that feels human.
The IQ Advent Calendar is free to use and open to anyone in the ADI/PDI community.
