Was the trainer aware of the surroundings and the pupil's actions?

This question lies at the heart of the PDI’s professional skill. They should be able to:

• take in the outside world
• observe the actions of the pupil, including comments and body language
• judge whether those actions are suitable in any given situation
• respond accordingly
  

Any serious lapses in this area are likely to lead to a 0 marking.
