For the second stage of your Standards Check Preparation, let’s look at the second competency on the Standards Check assessment form (the SC1), under the ‘Lesson Planning’ heading:
 

 
Was the agreed lesson structure appropriate for the pupil’s experience and ability?
 

Standards Check Success breaks each of the competencies down with numerous examples and detailed explanations so you can understand what skills can be used, how to apply them to your lessons and how the DVSA will assess you.
 
Take a look at how we prepare you in the 3 sections below:

Here, John and Graham give an example of ‘assessing the set goal’s suitability’ in context of our ‘rural roads lesson’.
 

 
In this ‘Example Lesson’ section, we deliver a full Standards Check Lesson broken down into 15 videos.
 
From the test centre and setting the goals, to adapting the learning plan, to encouraging reflection on performance, we cover a full Standards Check lesson from start to finish.
 
We identify the skills and techniques used during the lesson and explain how they address the core competencies on the Standards Check Form (SC1), showing you how you can use them in your own Standards Check.
 
 

We take each of the 17 core competencies on the Standards Check Form (SC1) and give practical explanations and demonstrations showing you how to cover each section in your own Standards Check.
 
Here, John and Graham discuss ‘the suitability of the set Goal’ in the context of the second competency on the SC1 form and give a few examples of how to do this for different subjects and pupils.
 
 

We refer to the Standards Check Form (SC1), The Official Guidance for Driving Examiners Carrying Out Instructor Tests (ADI 1) and the National Standard for Driver And Rider Training to make sure you fully understand how you are tested and how your skills apply to the Standards Check Form (SC1).
 
We’ve done the hard work, so you don’t have to.
 
 

Finally, you can read the detailed and fully comprehensive training guide, ‘Ultimate Guide to The Standards Check’ book from within the app or online course.
 
In the book, we give advice referring to the Standards Check Form (SC1), the National Standard for Driver And Rider Training, The Official Guidance for Driving Examiners Carrying Out Instructor Tests (ADI 1) and drawing on SmartDriving’s decades of ADI training experience.
