Meeting 1

Overall a great drive today. Head checks are an important part of the test so please practice making these as natural as possible to take in your blind spots.  Some practice on parallel parking and three-point turns would be good too.

 

Developing a training plan with you is where we begin once you have your theory learner test behind you.

Your training plan will be a structured and logical sequence of progressive lesson plans with the provision for the review of your progress as we go.

Each lesson plan will have its own TRAINING OBJECTIVE which will outline what you will achieve as a result of the session along with the STANDARD to which you need to perform the task and the conditions under which the performance will be assessed along with the RESOURCES that will need to be supplied.

How we deliver our knowledge to you is through three main methods

Controlled Practice – This is where your tutor will carry out the manoeuvre with a full verbal description as we go a couple of times so you have a chance to observe and feel comfortable trying it yourself.

Prompted Practice – Once you are comfortable, you can then try the manoeuvre whilst your tutor prompts you with a word here and there as a reminder as you concentrate on carrying out your manoeuvre

Transferred Responsibility – Yay – this is the bit you get to do it yourself and practice.

This is a record of your progress and must be kept by us on your behalf for 12 months and when added to your lesson plans forms the overall training plan.
