I think your sentence is fine. I am assuming "Cad" is the name of a company, right? Or one could fuss that it should be written as "Cad Driver Training: Your chance to become a qualified professional driver" Chris

Hi,
Where is the mistake, please? "Cad Driver Training - Your chance to become a qualified professional"
A professional driver sounds like a truck driver, a taxi driver, a delivery driver, etc. Is that what you mean?
In normal language, the word 'cad' means a dishonourable person. Are you using the word 'cad' in some special way here, as a name or as a technical term of some kind?
Or perhaps you just mean 'cab', ie a taxi? 
Best wishes, Clive

Hi Clive, I wanted to say Ca b Driver Training. It was a typing mistake,sorry. A training course to be a cad driver or for a cad driver ? For sure it won't make him a qualified professional! Aha aha aha aha... By the way here: "Ca d Driver Training" the meaning would be: a training for drivers who are cad, isn't it? Best wishes, Chen

Thank you, Chris. It was a typing mistake. I intended to say: " Cab Driver Training: Your chance to become a qualified professional."

Just curious here. Aren't all professionals qualified? ^^

Hi Alda, I understand " qualified "as someone who fulfills some requeriments. e.g. Let's suppose I'm a cab driver so, of course, I'm a professional, but maybe, I don't fulfill some expected requirements. For this reason is that some companies offer special courses with the intention to qualify the professional. I don't know if my thought is clear and right. If not, so I ask you to correct the following, please: " Cab driver training - Your chance to be a qualified professional" (I saw this sentence while I was surfing on the internet). By the way if it's not proper to say "qualified professional", so why do people often say: " qualified instructors", for instance? If instructors are also professionals (and of course they are) so why to say qualified instructors? Hope you help me understand it. Best wishes, Chen

Hi Chen! I asked that because I also wanted to know the answer. As I said, I was curious.
But I think (not sure though) that you also have to complete all necessary requirements for you to be called "A Professional"
Like for instance, a professor.
He/She wouldn't become a professor if he/she didn't have all the requirements he/she needed (including the hard tests she had to pass)

I see...But on the other side why a training company would write the following it if it was completely wrong, isn't it?
"Cab driver training - Your chance to be a qualified professional"
There must be a good explanation. Let's see if anyone else could help us to understand it better.
Best wishes,
Chen
