Teaching Part-Three
Traditionally, Part-Three has been considered the hardest part of the ADI examination process. This is strange, considering that this is the part that calls upon the basic life-skills that many students have before they even start Part-One. The very skills that they've been using every day to communicate with friends, family and workmates. Much, if not most, of the Part-Three training that is currently available suppresses rather than enhances the student's inherent communication skills - and after all, Part-Three is about communication, no more, no less! |
 Most ADI students worry about Part-Three |
Part-Three training where John's approach really scores major dividends. You will learn a philosophy of training that will help your students to overcome many of the problems that are associated with Part-Three.
Problems such as:
| "I mustn't over/under instruct" |
| "I can't teach in a role play situation" |
| "Briefings are difficult to learn" |
| "There's so much to remember" |
| "I just don't feel confident" |
| "What if I miss something out" |
| "I have to remember that Phase-Two is different" |
The problems above (and others) lead students to describe their exam experience as being akin to sitting on a runaway train!
But more often than not, these problems are actually CREATED by the training. Even well-meaning trainers who are working hard and trying their best often fall into the trap of creating anxiety and worry in their students. |
John's philosophy of training for Part-Three derives from a methodology that he describes as 'Success Based Training'. In other words, rather than allowing students to learn from 
mistakes, the training is structured in such a way that they learn from their successes - and succeed in all aspects of their training.
The bulk of the four-day trainer's course is focused on Part-Three and the success philosophy.
The 'Success' based method uses commonsense exercises, or as John prefers to call them 'Training Games' to develop the core skills and confidence required to deliver successful lessons in both role-play and 'real life' situations.
This is not rocket science - but it has a similar effect! All the exercises are documented in the 170 page Trainers Guide and extensive course notes provided with the course.
Below are some of the things that you will learn about during your Trainer-Training course.
 |
How to help your your students to 'feel' like instructors within an hour of starting their training. |
|
How to develop your students talking skills in an easy relaxed way. |
|
How to use role-play to promote success and the secret of introducing role-play in such a way that students take to it naturally and comfortably. |
|
Three basic role-play levels developed by John and the role-play strategies employed by DSA examiners. |
|
'Covert' (but ethical!) methods of instilling confidence and a sense of control. |
|
Why 'EDP' isn't all it's cracked up to be! |
|
How students can easily overcome the 'uncomfortable silence' syndrome. |
|
A simple method for teaching briefings - in less than a couple of hours your students can master a strategy that will enable them to give an effective briefing on any subject (Note: this is a single session, not two-hours per subject!!) |
|
How to overcome the problems that leave 100% of failed students unable to successfully identify mistakes (or faults as the DSA prefers to call them!) |
|
How to crack the mould of the national average pass rate! |
In learning how to deliver these skills as a trainer you will also be learning how to improve the same skills at different levels within your own driving and training.
The philosophy of training that John teaches is also the same as that which he uses - this gives you first-hand experience of the effectiveness of this tried and tested approach.
