An email alert from the DSA announces that from April next year, the Check Test will be changing to operate to the guidelines in the National Standard For Driver And Rider Training document. The new system will also require that people conduct a real lesson with a real pupil – no role play option.
As you can imagine, out in Instructor Land this has set the cat among the pigeons – and that’s before they’ve even cottoned on to the fact that this is where client-centred learning (CCL) comes into it. I’m also dying to see how those instructors who miraculously cannot conjure up a pupil to coincide with their Check Test (and yet who are always apparently fully booked in between times) get round the “no role-play” issue.
