Teaching Part-One

Typically, Part-One has been taught by dumping a load of books onto the poor student and leaving him/her to get on with it!

The better courses provide feedback about mock-exam papers but often there is little else. Classroom courses typically concentrate on the exam papers and do not offer much more than the student would get from studying at home.

Now that the Part-One question bank is available to all candidates, and theory CD roms are available, the pass rate has improved, however ...

This is not necessarily a good thing! Students are learning questions by rote and failing to gain sufficient depth of knowledge to stand them in good stead when it comes to Part-Two and Part-Three.

By using some simple, commonsense ideas you can ensure that your Part-One training gives excellent value for money and fully prepares your students for later parts of the course.

John will show you how!

The Part-One element of the four-day Trainer's Course occupies only a small part of the overall time, around one-hour, but the information will help to save hours of frustration for both you and your students. The SmartDriving Part-One Online course is available on a 'per student' fee.

While John can prepare you for fully fledged classroom training, you can gain many of the skills (more cheaply!) and recognised accreditation by completing a City & Guilds or similar adult teaching course through your local College of Further Education.
