The driver will then perform a similar demonstration as the instructor.

The practical session will conclude with a feedback and feed forward session in relation to the drive and all associated assessment documentation will be signed off by both the driver and the instructor.

Driver Resources

Each driver will receive a specially designed workbook that will help them apply their learnings from the course to road.
