Unit 11 - Effective strategies for teaching driving

Diploma for Teaching the Introduction to Driving Education Award

In-Car Training

In unit eleven, participants will be assessed through the process for driving teachers, which is a comprehensive evaluation that mirrors real-life teaching scenarios.

Participants are expected to demonstrate their ability to deliver a driver training session that adheres to the established curriculum standards. Prior to the assessment, they must present records of student progress and their own reflective notes from previous lessons.

This preparation allows for a thorough review of their teaching methods and effectiveness. Upon completion, candidates receive detailed feedback and a report summarising their performance, providing valuable insights for professional development.
