    As most of you are aware, TfNSW recently conducted an audit of all SDC Providers.

    • One of the areas identified as lacking was Professional Development (PD) and refresher training for our Facilitators and Coaches.

      With this in mind, NSWDTA is planning several PD / refresher days during the next 6 months.

      This will be free of charge to current NSWDTA members, who are already accredited in Mod 1 and/or Mod 2 to deliver the courses. The day is open to non members however there is a charge of $50 for Mod 1 , & $50 for Mod 2, if you are doing both modules it will cost $100. 

      Anthony Cope will be facilitating the day.

     Blind Speed Track Day being held at Sydney Motorsport

    I would like to invite NSW Driver Trainers Association to become an event partner of the Blind Speed Track Day by providing the participants with a unique driving experience around the track on the Druitt Circuit (known as North Circuit)

    The aim of this event is to give 80 blind and vision impaired people the opportunity of a lifetime to experience the thrill of motorsport in a safe and controlled environment.  The participants will have the chance to get behind the wheel of a dual controlled car with a professional driving instructor and go for hot laps in race cars.

    Further details to be confirmed once finalised 


    Please register, if you would like to volunteer your car & yourself to be

    a part of a fantastic evening

    Confirmation of all details & your acceptance to the event will come later

    as the event is in the proposed stage & awaiting approvals of insurances &

    sponsors etc . However we need to start our planning to ensure we have a

    professional group of instructors available to make the night work whilst showcasing the NSWDTA
