The lesson route

Know where you are going

You need to have a good knowledge of the area and route where you are doing your lesson.

Example 1: If you are teaching a beginner you need to know your route from the test centre (you driving) to the housing estate or other location where the main body of the lesson will be given, you also need to know how you will use that route to demonstrate the key learning principles of the lesson. In this scenario you would also need to know the main training location (estate or wherever) inside-out so that you have alternative options if there are problems.

Example 2: If you are taking a full licence holder there will be more flexibility with the route and in the event of a major problem on route you might be able to use a sat-nav to recover (and make it a key part of the training) - however, this would not help your chances of a pass. Learn and practise the route and get to know the general area.
