Briefing
Posted on
Part 3 Briefings.
I really cannot stress enough, that when it comes to the briefing on a part 3 exam, there really is no need to get yourself worked up over how much you need to say.<BLOG_BREAK> So many students who are training to become a driving instructor, get really worried that the briefing only lasted 15 minutes!!! We need to be looking at about 3-5 mins tops!!!
Let me put it this way, if I wanted to explain to you how to re wire the internal circuit on a washing machine, and you had no technical knowledge at all, can you imagine how confusing it would be if i went into a 6 minute ramble about "taking the first red wire off the brown wire, then we are going to cross the green wire over the yellow wire, so that the blue wire UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES touches the internal diode reflector switch.
Now at this point you will have forgotten what I first said and have no idea what the other 5 mins of ramble was on about! And its the same with your pupils and on your part 3.
However if i gave you a brief summary of what we were about to do inside the washing machine and then talked you through it, wire by wire, you would fully understand and be able to learn and thats what becoming a driving instructor is all about Teaching People!
So the briefing is kept brief because people only learn once they are doing it.
