Background to this training and the offer

The presenter, Lisa Dorn, spoke at the NZIDE conference in August 2022. Lisa spoke on the psychology of driving. It was an introduction for this course. From NZIDE member feedback, members with several years driving experience wanted further professional development. This course is it. Future qualifying courses will be offered as members bring them to our attention. The training incentive reimbursement is new. The intent is to incentivise ongoing professional development for driving instructors, driving mentors and driver licence testing officers who have interest in this training. This is an NZIDE member only benefit. Membership is encouraged for anyone who delivers driver training, driver mentoring, driver licence testing, road safety education and road safety research.

About the course

The course has been developed by experienced specialists in traffic psychology and road safety. It is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors. The design of behaviour interventions and management of risk with road user behaviour is a key part of Lisa's ongoing research. Practical application of that research is part of this course. Driver behaviour is also part of the Street Talk Defensive Driving course and the AA Defensive Driving course offered in New Zealand. Driving behaviour is one of five strategies in the Road to Zero New Zealand strategy 2021-2030. It is level 4 on the Goals for Driver Education matrix (GDE Matrix). Lisa publishes regularly and is consulted internationally. For details on Lisa, follow this link About | PsyDrive Group​
