1935. Full membership is reserved for Approved Driving Instructors, however,
trainees, prospective driving instructors (any one currently underaking the
qualification process to become an ADI.), driving school proprietors and other
interested parties may also join but are not allowed a vote. Prospective
Driving Instructors (PDIs) are welcomed into MSA membership and on

INFORMATION |
|
- We all want to know what's going on particularly in matters concerning the
job we do. The MSA prides itself on the information available to its members.
Most of that information is passed on to members through the MSA's national
publication, MSA Newslink.
- It contains all the latest information from the government and its agencies
and with local editors, who are working ADIs based in your area. Newslink is
the perfect vehicle to highlight information and activities in the area where
you live and work, as well as covering all the national news and stories of
interest.
- Published monthly, Newslink is sent to every member. MSA members also
receive a copy of the association's Annual Report & Handbook. Which as well
as reporting on progress over the past twelve months also highlights local and
national contacts.
- The MSA also has a news section on this web site which we try to ensure is
always up to date.
- Information is also passed to members at local and national meetings,
conferences and seminars.
