Welcome to our 2022 Train the Trainer Program

This program to cover how to deliver P3 training to our customers, is split into 10 weekly ‘Modules’, delivered via ZOOM sessions over the coming weeks.

Introduction Module

Below, an ‘Introduction Module’ is at the bottom of this page…
 
This ‘Introduction Module’ is in 3 videos introducing you to us as a Company, us as people and a brief introductory overview to our training process that we deliver to our customers and also how we deliver Part 2 training to our customers.

Delivering P2

Delivering P2
 

When delivering P2 training for us, the 8 hours are designed for you to assess the 2 trainees.
 
The trainees will have completed a very comprehensive home study program and they will be almost at test standard.
 
The sessions will be ideally delivered 2:1, with the trainee in the back assessing the trainee in the front. You will of course be assessing the driver too, and will lead the discussion as the trainee in the back delivers their assessment after each section of session.
 
At this stage, it is the ‘understanding’ of driving we are keen for the trainees to demonstrate.
 
Full details of what we expect in our P2 sessions is here:
