Money advice services for ADIs

The latest government advice is to stay at home and NASP has advised ADIs to stop teaching lessons (except for key workers). This means it is an extremely worrying time financially for all of you in the driver and rider training industry.

Help and advice is available, and we have collected information about a number of organisations that should be able to offer guidance to you at this time.

Remember, our helpdesk is still open so you can always speak to one of our ADIs. Email us on help@driving.org and one of our team will phone you back (within 48 hours wherever possible).
