ADI PART 3 Test  - Suggested plan

• Assess what is best FOR YOUR PUPIL to work on BEFORE the day of test
• Plan Your Route
• Make Sure you have your training sheets from your trainer / The relevant DVSA paperwork / The pupils reflective log or driving lesson record

• Arrive at the test centre 5 -6 minutes before the appointment time          Try and put the pupil and yourself at ease

• Wait for the examiner to come out to you
  

• Introduce yourself to the examiner with confidence

• Explain who your pupil is, what they have done so far..and what the lesson today will be

mention to the pupil How you have previously discussed the difference of having extra weight in the car and how the assessor is there to make sure that as a pupil, you are getting value for money and being taught the most upto date teaching methods

Recap the last lesson

Q + A - subject -what went well  What needed to be worked on

• Set the goals for todays lesson
• e.g. Improve and build confidence in doing roundabouts.
• This will include - normal size roundabouts, laned roundabouts and time permitting mini roundabouts

              Write the goals on a small pad then you can refer back to them

• Ask the pupil on a scale of 1 to10

              1 being very unsure or nervous and 10 being confident
              How do they feel with regards to .....whatever the subject is

• Talk about who is responsible for safety within and outside the car
• How you will be sharing the risk
• This includes as they get better and more confident, leaving more decisions to them.... but this will be agreed upon first.

• Ask the pupil "To begin with, how would you like to be instructed?
• Would you like me to talk you through, to prompt you by means of questions or to do it independently and I'll only step in, if there's a need?"

• Provide practical driving to achieve the goals
  

• Pull up and discuss any safety critical incident - Or incident of note that takes place

• USE your briefing folder!! - Your ipad or tablet - Your dashcam

              To show anything you need to talk about

• Use Questions - Answer any questions the pupil has by making them think for themselves
• DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CHANGE THE LESSON PLAN!!
• or add something that needs addressing. If the plan was roundabouts, but they keep stalling because of nerves, discuss changing to moving off with extra weight in the back

              Link it to driving safely in the future with friends going to the beach

• Get back on time

• Recap and reflect with the pupil with questions how they feel it went, what they learnt, what went well,

              and what can be improved on.

• Finish by using that scale of 1 to 10

              At the start you said you were ..... What number now?

              That’s great, but lets see if next week, we can get it to 9 or 10!!
