Example lesson
This section contains information about how to structure a test lesson (or any driving lesson) and looks at a driver who is able to drive from the test centre. The videos are taken from 'Standards Check Success'. The requirements for Part-Three are exactly the same as those for a Standards Check - therefore every time you here the term 'Standards Check' you can mentally replace it with 'Part Three'.
If you have a driver of a suitable standard this type of lesson would be OK for your exam, but remember that our advice is to use a full licence holder or very early stage learner
This lesson is designed to help you to:
- understand more about lesson structure
- Understand how you can to start and end your lesson
- See the things that you have been learning about in place in a lesson context
As you watch the videos think about some key lesson factors:
- The feedback process
- Explanations
- Use of questions
- Route directions
- Job sharing
- Watching the learner
- Prompting skills
- Remedial action
- How the lesson keeps on theme
Important Note: You will notice that the videos mention the Standards Check Success written guide. We have not supplied this with your course simply because we feel that at around 40,000 words it goes into too much depth at this stage in your career progress. The online training and videos you have received thus far are sufficient for you to gain a pass and a good grade on your exam.
Our advice is that you qualify and gain six months to a year of experience in the job and then study Standards Check Success in it's entirety.
