This workshop is delivered by Lin Western ADINJC Head of Training, Lin was a DVSA Examiner for a number of years testing Cars and LGV; and Leigh Brookes who trained at Cardington as a DVSA examiner in 2018 and is still an examiner for various advanced tests outside of the DVSA.  Both were experienced ADIs before working for the DVSA and continue as working ADIs and Trainers today.

The workshop will leave you with a much greater understanding of how the test is conducted, marked and assessed to enable you to deliver more accurate mock tests to your pupils and better understand the feedback at the end of the test.

We as ADI’s take regular Standards Check courses, we prepare ourselves as best we can by researching the latest information, plan routes, and some take additional training.

So it makes sense that we would do the same for our pupils, to help them feel better prepared and confident on the day.

Cost: Members £99,  Non-members £119

This is what people on the June Mock Test workshop said about it –

I had a wonderful time. I have learned so much about marking ‘Mock Tests’ & now realise that I ‘fault mark’ when I do mocks. This was very worthwhile & I look forward to future courses in my area’ – Jilly Shepherd

‘It’s a must. It puts a different perspective on test marking’ – Derek Clarke

‘Very informative. Definitely gained a better
understanding of examiners and the marking sheet. It will make you a better instructor. Really glad I came. Having this extra knowledge & better understanding has been fantastic’ – Cheryl Plum

‘Highly recommended. Clear & very helpful to address the task of an examiner’ –Kevin Sweetman

‘Found out a lot of information I didn’t know. Really was good to understand the Mock Test in more detail. Great course would recommend it to anyone’ – Tracey Rollinson

‘Well worth attending. Good insight into the Driving Test & Marking Sheet’ – Helen Train

‘Go and attend the course! Maybe the examiners have a slightly harder job than I thought’ – Wyn Owen

In our latest Despatch blog post, lead user researcher Paul Bailey shares how we’ve improved the driving test experience for candidates through our new app.

He explains more about how we designed the digital test summary report and how this will make it easier for candidates to understand their test results.

We found the following article from Road Safety GB interesting and topical and thought our memers might be interested –

Eight years since it was last mooted, the issue of raising the motorway speed limit to 80mph has once again surfaced on the political agenda – but what do road safety professionals and other stakeholders think of the idea?

Edward Seaman, assistant editor of Road Safety News, has delved into the issue and gathered the views of stakeholders including Road Safety GB, the RAC, IAM RoadSmart, Brake and PACTS.

You may have seen or heard a lot of activity in the media yesterday about the campaign in relation to abusive and dangerous behaviour towards learners.

A petition has been started in protest at this behaviour, and it would be much appreciated if you would consider taking part by signing it, sharing it, and getting your learners to sign and share it too.  You can find the petition here.

In case you missed it here is a link to the item on BBC Breakfast yesterday.

 

In September, we let you know about the work we’ve been doing to create an app to mark driving tests digitally.

As part of the gradual roll out, from today (9 October 2019) a few examiners will be carrying out driving tests using the app, instead of the paper DL25.

We’ll carry out a small number of driving tests, taking on board any feedback.

We’ll keep you updated as more driving tests are conducted digitally.

Find out more about the work we’ve done to develop the app.
