Standards Check Success

A completely newly revised edition of this very popular book for ADIs

Reviews of Lynne's previous book (Check Test Success: A Practical Guide to Improving your ADI Check Test Performance) showed that the style it was written in was easy to understand, informative and helped countless ADIs.

This new book is A4; spiral bound and has 130 pages printed in colour to help any ADI be fully prepared for their Standards Check. It has been written as a result of training and helping many ADIs with their Standards Checks and using the extensive feedback that Lynne has received from examiners and ADIs who have already taken their Check.

Lynne expects this book to help anyone who is:

• Taking a first Standards Check
• Wanting to overcome a failed Standards Check
• Wanting to maintain a grade
• Wanting to update their skills if they have been an ADI for a number of years
• Hoping to feel more confident and prepared for their Standards Check
• Wanting to improve their passing grade from B to an A

The book takes the reader comprehensively through the whole process. Its chapters include:

• how to prepare before the day
• what the DVSA expect
• the marking scheme
• the assessment criteria
• the three new competencies
• lesson planning
• risk management
• teaching and learning strategies
• client centred learning
• the national standards for driver training
• how to feel more confident and be fully prepared
• top tips for success

Uniquely it also contains feedback from ADIs who have taken the standards check and reflected on the experience. The first statistics from the DVSA, released in September 2014, show that some 19%, almost 1 in 5 ADIs are failing their Standards Check. Lynne hopes this book will be a valuable guide to all ADIs who want to fully understand the whole process. There is a glossary at the end to explain all the terms used and detailed contents pages mean the reader can easily find any sections that they want to return to. It's a book that you can dip in and out of and easily return to for reference.

Lynne has already helped ADIs who have received full marks on the Standards Check and ADIs who have overcome an initial failure. The release of this new book will help ADIs even more.
