IQPathway

IQPathway Foundation Programme

A modern professional-development pathway for PDIs & ADIs

Currently in testing – Founder Cohort applications open

The IQPathway Foundation Programme is a structured professional-development course designed to help PDIs and ADIs build stronger teaching, coaching and reflective skills. It blends modern instructional theory, DVSA National Standards, CCL, risk awareness and personal development into a guided programme you can work through at your own pace.

The programme is not yet available for general enrolment.

We are currently preparing the first full test phase — and we’re inviting a small number of PDIs and ADIs to join as part of the Founder Cohort.

What Is the IQPathway Foundation Programme?

IQPathway is a structured learning journey that helps instructors develop deeper skills in:

• Client-Centred Learning

• Coaching and questioning

• Reflective practice

• The GDE Matrix

• Behavioural risk management

• Lesson planning & structured progression

• Learning psychology

• Communication, feedback and self-evaluation

• Professional standards and CPD evidence

It’s designed to give PDIs a stronger platform for Part 3 success

and to give ADIs a credible, structured CPD route that goes beyond the traditional “one-off training session.”

Built for the Modern Driving Instructor

Traditional CPD can feel unstructured, outdated or overly focused on test tricks.

IQPathway takes a different approach:

Evidence-based – grounded in National Standards, pedagogical theory and the psychology of learning

Coaching-led – aligned with CCL, modern teaching, and goal-setting

Practical – designed to improve real lessons, not just theory

Reflective – encourages stronger self-evaluation and ongoing growth

Future-proof – ready to evolve with industry standards and emerging tools

The aim is simple: to raise professional standards by giving instructors a richer understanding of why learners behave as they do, and how to teach in ways that reduce risk and strengthen decision-making.

How IQPathway Works

The programme is delivered through:

• Guided learning modules

• Real-world lesson tasks

• Reflective logs

• Progress checkpoints

• Teaching activities

• Portfolio-building

• Optional integration with the IQGPT Suite

Everything is mapped to the DVSA National Standards and reflective of best practice across coaching, education and risk management.

When complete, participants build a portfolio of evidence demonstrating growth, competence and professional development.

Currently in Test Phase – Founder Cohort Needed

We are now forming the Founder Cohort:

a small, forward-thinking group of PDIs and ADIs who will help us test, refine and shape IQPathway before it launches publicly.

Founder Cohort members will:

• Help refine learning materials

• Offer feedback on usability and structure

• Test integrated IQGPT tools

• Contribute to real-world case studies

• Gain early access to the programme

• Help shape a first-of-its-kind qualification pathway in the ADI industry

This is ideal for instructors who enjoy modern learning, reflective practice and trying new approaches.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re inviting:

PDIs

especially those preparing for Part 3 or wanting deeper coaching confidence

ADIs

looking for structured CPD or wanting to improve their teaching and coaching skills

Forward-thinking instructors

who want to be part of shaping something new in the industry

Reflective learners

who enjoy contributing to the development of training resources

If you’re curious, creative and open to new ideas, you’ll fit perfectly.
