ADI Check-Test rescue / E Grade Development
Disappointed? Angry? Worried?
This one-day course is specifically designed for those who have failed the Check Test (or gained E Grade). Because of the specific needs of individuals, this course is normally conducted on a one-to-one basis.
SmartDriving 'Rescue' courses are based on the original formula devised by John Farlam (who introduced the now widely used term 'Rescue Training' into our industry)
If you have not failed a Check-Test you will gain better value in term of both learning and money with ADI MasterClass or a Check-Test development course.
For many instructors a failed Check-Test comes as a complete shock - one day they feel that they are doing a good job and their pupils are happy and the next they are suddenly faced with the real prospect of losing their livelihood.
The latest figures (January 2012) show that around 9% of Check-Tests were failed in 2011 with some instructors being removed from the register and losing their livelihood after three failed tests.
Many new instructors with an E grade - this is just one step from a failed Check-Test and would have been a fail if it had not been the instructor's first test - this means that the instructor needs to take urgent action to improve.
This course is only available on a one-to-one basis because experience has shown that specialist individual advice is usually required.

Success
While no one can ever guarantee success we have only ever had one instructor fail after attending a Check-Test rescue course – this candidate was happy with the training and passed the test after a repeat course – acknowledging that he had not applied the principles learned on the first course during the test...
Many instructors who had been downgraded have not only passed after attending our 'Success Based' course, but have achieved a Grade 5 putting them in the top 33% of instructors.
Courses are available at various locations around the UK. Personal training with John Farlam is available in both Buxton and Boyle (Ireland) and is subject to availability.

Format
'Rescue' is normally run as a one-day programme however an extra day can be added if required to allow for practice sessions covering relevant skill areas (this is very rarely needed).
The course normally runs from 9.30am to 5.00pm (there may be local variations) and considers your needs and basic skills with training to develop any weak areas.
All training uses modern accelerated learning methods, including simple 'training games' that will make your learning experience easy, enjoyable and stress-free.
What you won't get is the destructive and demoralising "Let's do some role-play and I'll tell you what you are doing wrong" approach ...
