Success Based

Part-Three MasterClass uses the 'Success Based' instructor training system pioneered by John Farlam to equip you with the skills and confidence required for Part-Three success.

Part-Three MasterClass has been designed to teach the skills needed for the effective teaching of drivers at all levels, which of course, includes Part-Three!

Target audience:

Part-Three MasterClass is a dynamic course

Thums up! Part-Three MasterClass is conducted in-car and is a mix of theory and practice with a strong experiential theme running throughout.

While based on a base syllabus, the mix of personalities and your trainer’s ability to work 'in the moment' makes each MasterClass slightly different – the course material also works at different levels depending on your own start point. This is why some delegates have repeated the course in the past and gained as much on the second visit as they did on the first (and been totally satisfied with the value on each occasion!)

During the course you will learn new ideas and skills via interesting and stimulating discussion, training games, demonstration and examples of skill application.

The course is shared with two other delegates but everyone gets personal attention.

There are no 'passengers' on MasterClass courses!
No 'hot seat'
No embarrassment

Just lots of fun an good honest learning!

Quick self-check ...

If you are lucky enough to have one of the best trainers but still fail, it’s probable that the training is not right for you personally and so a change is needed.

Having said this, being inexperienced yourself, the only guide you have to help you to judge the quality of your training is the way you feel.

Did you always look forward to training sessions?
Do you feel in control in role-play situations?
Are you positive and confident about your exam?
Do you feel that you have received 100% value for money?

If the answer to any of the questions above is "NO", then your training has omitted something that is obviously necessary for your success... No matter how hard you work with the skills that you have gained you are unlikely to pass without further help. Especially if you have failed more than once.

A different kind of course

Most instructor training is based upon the Part-Three pre-set tests (PST's) and spends a lot of time teaching you about lesson content.

The irony is that in reality, you already know this information. You learned it for your success at parts One and Two. This means that a lot of training time is wasted – or even worse, you might be left in confusion about things that you thought you knew, for example, how to do basic manoeuvres.

We believe in 'Life Skill Training'. We recognise that you want to pass the exam but also know that you need more than exam skills to 'cut it' in the 'real world and to be successful in your new career.

Our unique approach concentrates on training skills - enabling you to give a good lesson on any subject (not just the exam subjects), and thus prepare you for a successful career.

Rather than being subjected to demoralising role-play, you will learn to use your existing skills and to develop new ways of thinking through a process of easy, stimulating training games. These help you to learn naturally without trying to memorise lots of do's and don'ts.

Unique methods

Our Part-Three MasterClass courses will use the unique methods that have helped his past students gain results as high as 6-6 (Click here) to help you to gain the essential skills of:

Identifying errors
Analysing errors
Talk-through and appropriate control
Structured question and answer
Lesson planning
Effective communication and feedback
Correct level of instruction
Q&A technique
Appropriate intervention

During your training you will not only gain the skills to pass Part-Three, but the confidenceand know-how to move forward towards a worthwhile and successful career in driving instruction.

So far you have done your best with the skills and knowledge you currently possess and that's all you can do. However, if your skill and knowledge is not up to standard, and no one is telling you (except of course, the examiner), then it's time for a different approach.

Part-Three MasterClass will throw you the life-belt you need
