So, what does joining BADIs offer?  There are a clutch of significant advantages :

1. FREE MEETINGS
These occur most months, with one or more guest speakers often from DVSA or local test centres.

2. MEMBERSHIP OF ADINJC
In a body that’s over 7000-strong, you get the option of Premium Membership of the ADINJC at half the normal monthly cost (i.e. £2, not £4). You'll receive its monthly newsletter, email newsflashes, and access to preferential Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) and Public Liability Insurance (PLI).

3. BROADER EXPERIENCE
Our members take part in Driving School ownership; offering franchises; ADI training; LGV / PCV training; Motorcycle training; The Fleet Register; business and IT matters.

Some hold the Diploma in Driving Instruction, teaching qualifications such as Ptlls, Ctlls, Dtlls, and are Examiners for Advanced Driving Tests.

4. FREE ADVERTISING
We're happy to relay members' business info to the public, including links to their websites.

5. KEY VIDEO CLIPS about core learner driving skills.

ADINJC membership itself can protect you against just those things that you think “won’t happen to me”.

We might believe we COULD deal with a particular problem if we reached the right person, but just don't have time.

ADINJC membership is hence like an insurance policy, helping members on a weekly—even daily—basis, through regular contact with senior DVSA managers.  So whether it's a major dispute or an irritating inconvenience, ADINJC can get direct contact with the people in a position to listen.

Membership also allows you to purchase PII to £5M and PLI to £10M; safeguards against our own occasional human errors and in case we are accused of wrongdoing.

It hosts a large annual conference each October, at a members' discount.

ADINJC belong to NASP (the National Associations Strategic Partnership), providing a united voice for the industry to represent our views to the DVSA and Government.  It also offers an in-house Road Safety Advisor, discounts and packages from sponsors for training aids and services, and templates for your school's business terms.
