Supporting the instructors who keep our roads safer.

The Kettering and District Driving Instructors Association brings local driving instructors together — to share knowledge, stay current with DVSA guidance, and raise professional standards across our community.

A professional community for local driving instructors.

KADDIA is a group of local Approved Driving Instructors offering help and support on local issues in a friendly, informal and welcoming environment. We foster relationships with local stakeholders, enjoy organised social events, and support our community through fundraising.

Our members stay informed of changes from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), share experience with fellow professionals, and speak with a stronger collective voice on the issues that affect local instruction.

The association has supported instructors across the Kettering area for well over fifteen years, and continues to grow as a trusted local professional community.
