The Institute of Master Tutors of Driving (IMTD) was founded as a non-profit making independent organisation in 1957. Its aim was to create an elite group of professional driving instructors in the UK. The members were to be principals and managers of reputable driving schools whose entry was to be determined by their integrity, experience, qualifications and professional ability.

Members

The members are past or present ADIs, and others who are or who have been engaged in an activity akin or related to driving instruction.

Many members are also officers of local and national driving organisations though they give their own views at the Institute's meetings.

Those who have the necessary qualifications and can contribute to the aims of the Institute may be invited to join, or may apply (see the "Joining The IMTD" page).

On election to the Institute members are given a diploma and are entitled to style themselves M Inst MTD. A member whose extra contribution to road safety or to the industry may be elected Fellow (F Inst MTD). Members and Fellows pay an annual subscription.

Associate membership is available to suitable people who are resident outside the UK.

Meetings

These are held four times each year in Walsall. They provide the opportunity for members to discuss and exchange views on matters affecting driver and instructor training and to consider and prepare for future development in these areas.

The Annual General Meeting is held at the third meeting of the year. At the AGM a new Executive Committee is elected to office for one year.

Meetings are held on the following dates:
