This online session focuses on strengthening your instructional techniques to help you deliver clear, effective and engaging driving lessons. Aimed at both PDIs and ADIs, it offers practical guidance on how to teach in a way that supports real learning, keeps pupils involved and meets DVSA standards for Part 3 and Standards Checks.

Why Attend This Session?

One of the key questions during a Part 3 or Standards Check is whether the directions and instructions you give your pupil are clear and timely. Your input needs to be concise, well timed and appropriate so your client has enough time to process and act on what you are saying.

This session will help you develop the language and techniques needed to communicate effectively and efficiently with your clients. You will learn how to build from simple instructions to a full talk-through, giving your learners the clarity and confidence they need to succeed.
