The graduation procress in skill development and participation should lead to the individual member's goal in ultimately achieving a fully certified PDC Instructor status. The selection and retention of those who will serve as teachers, role models and ambassadors of PDC (ie. the Instructors) are based on 8 criteria, all of which must be evidenced, which forms the basis of qualification to be a PDC Instructor Candidate:

• Must be a member of Performance Drivers Club
  
• Participated in at least 4 PDC hosted events
  
• Must be a current advanced (Green) group driver.
  
• Have participated a minimum of 4 track events in the last 12 months.
  
• Have driven on at least 3 different tracks in the last 24 months.
  
• Good knowledge in the dynamics of car performances.
  
• Maturity and Attitude inside and outside of the car
  
• EXCELLENT verbal communication skills.

The program of certifying qualified candidates to be Instructors requires the candidate to attend an Instructors Clinic and to pass 4 seperate Instructor Candidate Evaluations:

Evaluation 1 -
Candidate demonstrates sustained high performance driving skill (smoothness / technique / control / line / consistency).

Evaluation 2
Candidate Drives & Instructs various skill levels.

Evaluation 3
Instructor Drives & Candidate Instructs

Evaluation 4
Final evaluation with Chief Instructor covering evaluations 1, 2 & 3.

In summary, PDC looks for a combination of skills, attitude, leadership and commitment to supporting our Driver Education activities, and in selecting what we believe will be the BEST Instructors for our members.
