Vice Chair - Neil MacKinnon

I qualified as an ADI in October 2019.

I am an independent instructor working in the Inverness area. I was appointed secretary of the HDIA at its formation in February 2022. I currently hold the role of Chair for the Highlands & Islands Driving Instructor Association.

I qualified as an ADI in 2021 and work independently in Inverness. I undertake the role of Road Safety Liaison for the Association. The HIDIA when formed made connections with other  Instructors across the Region and provides a sense of community. Nationally recognised CPD training delivered locally has been an outstanding success. I currently undertake the voluntary position of Interim Chair of the Association.

I am the administrator for the Sickness and Accident Scheme for the HIDIA.

I qualified as an ADI back in 2011. 

I have always worked as an independent instructor and covered Inverness and surrounding areas.

I became an ADI at the beginning of 2020 and joined the HIDIA shortly after its introduction. I felt that the industry is too focused on Standards Checks and hope that by joining an association, we can spearhead the training of ADIs away from SC and Part 3 training and focus more on becoming great instructors.
