Mastering the Art of Adapting Driving Lessons: Elevate Your Grade from B to A on Your Part 3 or Standards Check
Monday 8th Sept 25, 17:30 – 19:30 | Via Zoom

Adapting your teaching approach to meet the individual needs of each learner is key to achieving top marks on your Part 3 or Standards Check. Understanding how to adjust lessons in real-time to address both the driver’s abilities and the driving environment can make all the difference when being assessed by the DVSA.

In this informative session, Andrew will guide you through the essential skills of adapting your lessons to maximise a learner’s potential. By sharpening your awareness of both the driver’s performance and the surrounding environment, you’ll learn to recognise when adjustments are necessary and how to effectively implement them.

Andrew will demonstrate how to identify and address driver errors using all of your senses. You’ll gain insights into pinpointing the root cause of mistakes and adjusting your approach accordingly throughout the session. Once you’ve identified the cause, you’ll learn how to guide your learner in recognising that their existing skills can be harnessed to correct and overcome their mistakes.

A key element of successful driver training is the emphasis on transferable skills. These foundational abilities can be applied across a range of driving situations. For example:

• Spatial Awareness: Used in parking and lane discipline, spatial awareness is essential for navigating tight spaces and predicting the actions of other road users.

• Speed Control & Judgement: Developed in residential areas, this skill becomes invaluable when transitioning to higher-speed roads, highways, and overtaking scenarios.

• Observation & Hazard Perception: By mastering structured scanning techniques, learners can sharpen their ability to assess hazards, even in high-stress situations like busy intersections or adverse weather conditions.

Key Takeaways from this Session:

1. Recognising foundational driving skills

2. Breaking down skills into essential components

3. Applying skills in new and varied driving situations

4. Encouraging critical thinking in drivers

5. Cultivating the ability for self-evaluation and improvement

Join Andrew for this dynamic session and learn how to help learners connect their foundational skills to new driving challenges. By fostering adaptability and problem-solving, you’ll empower your learners to become confident, competent, and safe drivers on any road.
