Shaun Bedford, 43, is a driving instructor and driving instructor trainer from Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Having qualified as a driving instructor 16 years ago, he has since run a successful driving school, Bedford School of Motoring, in and around the Harrogate area, and has a pass rate consistently double the national average.
An Approved ORDIT driving instructor trainer and running a driver training establishment, Northern ADI training, he is a DIAmond advanced examiner.
His first check test was in 1994, when he received a grade 6, and in each of his three subsequent Check Tests, the most recent of which was in September this year, he has received a grade 6.
Each of the categories under core competencies, instructional techniques and instructor characteristics has, on each test, been given a grade 6. On a recent ORDIT inspection, he was also awarded Grade 6 in all the categories when conducting driver development.
He also undertakes check test preparation sessions for other driving instructors, after which their grades invariably improve, and indeed several have achieved a Grade 6 for the first time after this training..
