Dedicated Driving Instructors Association

Awarded Driving instructor Association of the year in 2024. SDDIA is now one of the largest associations in the country.

We regularly run CPD/training workshops with nationally renowned driver trainers (Lou Walsh, Bob Morton, Diane Hall, Lynne Fitzharris etc) and SDDIA members get a 50% discount off the normal price.

We hold regular local meetings with DVSA officials and examiners.

We also organise local meetings for members about such things as Electric Vehicles, teaching pupils with special needs, taxation etc. These are usually free to attend

Many of our members are experts in particular fields and you can tap into that experience

We have three Facebook pages, two of which are exclusive to SDDIA members, and a WhatsApp group to bring everyone together. You can also join our Facebook groups at https://www.facebook.com/groups/SheffieldDIA & https://www.facebook.com/groups/368533116940014 and the WhatsApp group at https://chat.whatsapp.com/DLM7NxFs2hwDsgjI0uC8EK

We also have a group aimed at members of the public in Sheffield looking for driving lessons. It's just another service so you can join at

The meetings are informative and provide valuable insights from industry speakers and experienced instructors alike.
