Hi @sasaa4160. The initial chat should be a short 2 way conversation which is lead by the instructor to DISCOVER the student's needs and getting CLARITY on the level of support they'll need/want during the initial PRACTISE. All the best, Jeff

Hi @nickculshaw4775. Thanks for your comment and YES, my Part 3 course is video based with similar content I have on this channel, but I go a lot deeper. Plus, you get training notes, assessments, quizzes and downloads to make it a fully rounded training experience - and you also get unlimited access to me to answer any specific questions you have for no extra payment.. All the best, Jeff

Hi @samjunior8919. You can pretty much use any subject as the primary focus of an assessment drive, as long as their is a clear rationale as to why the driver needs or wants help with that i.e. why does your candidate want your help in improving their driving safety and/or efficiency? Not you just saying, I going to help my candidate to improve their driving safety and efficiency using ECO Driving. Whether you use a learner of a FLH, it should be Client Centred - not instructor led. Hope that makes sense and all the best for your test. BTW, I have recently recorded a 4hr training session with a PDI on how to use a FLH on a Part 3 which you can purchase. If you are interested, just email me jeff@advancedadi.co.uk and I'll send you the details. All the best, Jeff

🤣🤣🤣 I'm nearly old enough to be her Grandad - but thanks for the compliment.

Hi Rob...Thanks for your comment and for anyone else reading this comment from @ROBBIEHOOD-uh he is the former instructor included within this video. Please check out his channel. My comment about my Dad's driving test is what is called an anecdote. I've no idea if that was what genuinely happened. The two articles you refer to about Examiner's being sacked for not following quotas are from 2005 and 2010. And nothing since as far as I can see. Seems very weak evidence to me - but I'm not a lawyer. If you watched the video all the way through, you will have seen I researched and analaysed the DVSA data in great detail by test centre, age, and gender - and their Annual Report and Accounts, so not sure where you are coming from on that one. As mentioned in the video, I wished you all the best in your dispute with the DVSA....so, would be great if you could update us on how that's going, if it's been concluded, and the outcome. All the best, Jeff

You'll soon find I took the DVSA to court today, Thursday, 29th of august 2024. They lost. .​@aatadvancedaditraining2535

Hi Rob, sounds like a great result for you. Are you going to share the details? If so, where can we find that? I'm sure a lot of people will want to know. All the best, Jeff

Hi @dsaadi1. Thanks for your comment which I both agree and disagree with. Yep, getting student's looking right on the approach to a roundabouts could cause them to drift - which is clearly something which needs to fixed. Alternatively, if they don't look right right on the approach to the roundabout they'll either stop when they didn't need to, or try to enter the roundabout when it wasn't safe to. So, they are two inter-related, but different problems, which need to addressed individually. Hope that makes sense. Cheers, Jeff

Hi stevenmcloughlin-g1z. Thanks for your comment, I've checked out the link and every seem to be working OK. Maybe try and 'incognito search' using this link: www.youtube.com/@stevenmcloughlin-g1z. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to figure out a solution.

Hi @killer7urk. Hmmmmm.....very insightful. What lead you to that conclusion?

@aatadvancedaditraining2535 I'm with them, and their training is not fit for the purpose!

@@killer7urk Sorry to hear that but unfortunately that's a very common experience of PDIs training with large driving schools - which is exactly why I set up AAT which offers far simpler, more effective, and considerably less expensive training solutions. All the best for the rest of your training and please reach out if you need any support.

BTW, if you haven't checked it out yet, please take this FREE course: www.advancedadi.co.uk/offers/FjWFyRnp

@aatadvancedaditraining2535 got my part 3 tomorrow morning and i already know that it's going to be a disaster! Hopefully second attempt will be different with your help.

Hi @manjitkalsi2727. Happy to help if I can. Are you OK with having a phone chat first? All the best, Jeff

Hi @williamlarkin613. The only way to find cancellations or new test dates being released is to keep checking back on their booking page. Alternatively, if you haven't already, contact them on 0300 200 1122 and request a 'book to hold' test for your preferred Part 2 test centre. Have your PRN ready as they'll need that. All best and hope you don't have to wait too long. 🙏

Hi @NwaHp3. Thanks for your comment and totally agree with with you - I also hate the term 'instructor'. For me, we should be facilitators. Student's aren't dumb, they have experience, they have a brain, and can figure stuff out for themselves if encouraged to do so.

Good luck with the rest of your training and your Part 3 🤞

@aatadvancedaditraining2535 thank you 😊

Hi @ShaunY1988. Yep, unfortunately that's very, very common. So, suggest using that wait time to not only develop your driving skills to hopefully Part 2 on the first attempt, but also start studying and preparing for your Part 3 as well.

@@aatadvancedaditraining2535 thanks for the reply, I have started my part 3 training and all my spare time is completely dedicated to learning towards this career, whether it be watching videos, reading the recommended books, driving around practicing etc, thanks again.

Hi @@ShaunY1988 . That's great to hear and will really help you - so keep that effort going. Probably feels it's taking forever, but I'm sure you'll get there and it will be worth it in the long run.

I also waited 5 months, part 1 in Dec and part 2 was May.

Hi @philmcgroin7803:. If you watch the full video here you'll find out how. /ruclips.net/video/2PdysJS8Aus/видео.html

Watched some of that other 1 hour video and he got lucky with cancellations and travelled miles for the tests, why the AAT couldn't tell u that I don't know. I personally was checking for cancellations every day at every test centre to the point I was getting blocked from the website for 2 hours or 4 hours, I can't remember how long now, after 3 months of trying multiple times a day and never seeing a single cancellation I got my part 2 test email through any way which is in August.

Hi @@ShaunY1988 . It's an etiquette amongst on-line creators that when you share each others content, you do what you can to drive viewers to that channel as well as providing value to your viewers. I only do that with channels I genuinely believe in and I know will add value to PDIs and ADIs. Glad you've managed to get a Part 2 test booked, and I know it can be a really frustrating process. Hopefully you'll pass first time. If you do, I suggest using the 'book to hold' service the DVSA offer asap if you can't find any Part 3 test dates available for your local test centre.

Go on....please explain why not

Hi @SteveJones-gz4vd. Not sure if you are supporting my points or not. Think I've been transparent and given people a good idea of what they can realistically earn as a driving instructor, depending on the training route they take, where they live, the hours they work, and their current employment circumstances etc, etc.

@@aatadvancedaditraining2535 Sorry not wishing to knock as many you tube vids say the same, but travelling time to and from work IMO is not counted as hourly rate , be that employed or self employed, just my thoughts. Although I must say your hourly rate for lessons at £32 is much more realistic than others, where I live it's £35 for manual and £40 for auto.

Hi@@SteveJones-gz4vd I totally agree, which is why I explain if you're teaching 8 hours a day that's the equivalent of working at least 10 hours a day due to commute times to and from lessons, taking toilet breaks etc. Personally I think being a driving instructor is an amazing career - you can earn a very decent wage, get huge job satisfaction and great work/life balance if you do the job right. It's not a job which is right for everyone - but were here to support people who need support.

Hi@twoshottino1991. Think you need to go back an re-watch that section of the video again (6:15 - 6:30). Appreciate camera lens distortion can make things look a bit different to reality - but that road is a least 5m wide (my car is less than 2m wide) and I was fully in the right hand lane when passing the cyclist which you can clearly see as I approach the end of the road and move back to the left - so I was around 2m away from the cyclist when overtaking them. By all means, call me out anytime. I'm not perfect and I hold my hands-up if I make a mistake. But you need to watch things more carefully before making a judgement.

Hi @Brauschemann. I totally agree, all driving instructors should be prepared and able to teach any student, with any level of ability, and any personality when teaching them how to drive. However, when you need to pass an important test (such as Part 3), to help you achieve your own goals and aspirations, you should stack things in your favour as much as possible because you've probably invested £0000's and hundreds of hours of training - so you wouldn't want to risk all the that time and money by using a student who's going to make it more challenging than needed. I've taught hundreds of quiet, shy, anxious students - and those will learning challenges such as autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia etc. And I've thoroughly enjoyed teaching them - but I wouldn't choose that type of student for a Part 3 test. Hope that makes sense.

@@aatadvancedaditraining2535 Certainly that does make sense, and thanks for your considered reply. 👍

Hi @mrdogger2010. Thanks for your comment. When teaching or practising two stage gear changes, yep, you (or the driver) are technically coasting for a second or two by having your clutch DOWN for a little bit longer than needed. But it's a practice technique to help the driver realise they don't need to rush through gear changes - and feel the gear stick go back into neutral first before they select the next gear. Hope that makes sense.

Yes thankyou , but while I'm here , I'm still only learning for my part 1 , but my big problem is , I've only ever driven large vans for the last 30 years , so when part 2 comes , I won't have any experience of using all mirrors ect as because us van drivers only use 2 door mirrors , so what would be your best advice for a van driver becoming a car driver ?

Hiya. Don't want to sound patronsing, but just focus on your Part 1 for now. Get that nailed and then start prepping for Part 2. Given you have 30 years of driving experience, it shouldn't be hard to develop your driving skills to Part 2 standard and get used to using a centre mirror. If you want to get ahead of the game though, enroll in our Part 2 training course here: www.advancedadi.co.uk/offers/2VL5P3LB

Hi @legion162 Thanks for your comment. In my experience most driving schools and trainers push you down a path which works for them but doesn't necessarily work for you. For many PDI's, using a FLH is either their best or only option. That's why I made this video. All the best and good luck with the rest of your training and Part 3 test.

Hi Eden, Apologies, what is it you can't see?

HI @legion162 You've made a really important point. The ADI test wait times for Part 2 and Part 3 are hideously long at the moment, but there are work arounds you can use to complete the process far quicker. Watch out for a video I'm going to post soon about a PDI who managed to pass Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 in just 6 weeks. Cheers, Jeff

@@aatadvancedaditraining2535 I'm on my second attempt at part 2, my first try was only 4 weeks from passing part 1, this was back in October. I look forward to the video

Glad it was helpful!

No, don't treat a FLH the same as a pupil. An experienced driver should know which lane to use and if you told them which lane to use that would be over instructing. If then for some reason the driver got in the wrong lane then the lesson plan would need to be adapted because a new learning need has arisen - but I very much doubt that would happen.

Hi Martyn. That's fab. All the best for your Part 2 and please reach out if needed. 👍

Hi @deans6571. That sounds like a plan, but can I ask what's the reason or rationale you'll be giving your wife an assessment drive?

@@aatadvancedaditraining2535 Hi. Well - I already have a learner pupil who also has issues with mirrors but thought I would keep my wife as a back up as when I’ve seen her drive, she does pretty much no mirror checks when turning L/R so figured I could use that to further develop her understanding as to why mirror checks are so important in driving (don’t think she realises it even but we’ll have that discussion before I potentially use her for the Part 3).

That's great - but if you use your wife as your candidate for your Part 3, there needs to be a reason/need for her wanting an assessment drive. It can be real or fictious, but the Examiner will want to understand what the purpose of the assessment drive is. For example, you wife is a nervous driver and wants to be more confident, or she's had a recent accident or near accident etc, etc. The Examiner needs to understand you have have identified a learning need based on the candidates goals. Otherwise, they'll just think, OK - you want your wife to check her mirrors more, so just go fix that. What they need to see is you Discovering the candidates learning/development needs, getting Clarity on how you are going to work together and where, and then seeing you put that into Practise. Hope that makes sense, Jeff

Hiya. I'd love to do all my videos with subtitles but it takes so much time. You have to upload, transcribe, edit out all the errors, and then upload again - which takes hours. I'll do it where time allows and if you have any 'hacks' I can use to speed up the process, please share. All the best, Jeff

How did you get on with your part3?

Hi @@killer7urk . Not sure if you're asking how I got on with my Part 3 nearly 20 years ago (I passed on my third and final attempt0 or how Tom got on with his third and final attempt. HE PASSED. 😄

Hi @shannonturner2727. Great question and you're right, she should have checked her right blind spot. She didn't but I did and knew it was safe. Students will often make mistakes because they are 'learning'. As an instructor, your job is to be constantly aware of what's happening both inside and outside the car at all times, so you can effectively manage risk and understand the students development needs.

Hi @kamalelhousani6551. What should use as a lesson or assessment subject on a Part 3 or Standards Check should be based on that persons learning needs - not what you feel most confident teaching. Let me know if you need more guidance. All the best, Jeff

Thank you for your reply ,I will do .

Hi Mike. Thanks for you comment and huge congrats on passing your Part 3 first time - that's brilliant and I'm so pleased for you. Glad my content helped you get over the finishing line - but really it was all down to your hard work and commitment. When you get a chance, would you mind leaving me a trustpilot review using this link: uk.trustpilot.com/review/advancedadi.co.uk as that will help others find me and benefit from my content and courses. All the best and happy teaching as a fully qualified ADI. Jeff 😃👍

Thank you Jeff! Of course I will. Have left you a review. Trust me. Your video really broke it down me and made my teaching a whole lot easier. You helped me understand what was expected of me and how I can deliver a client centred lesson.

@@mikeoz3310 Thanks and thank you for you kind words and positive feedback. That means a lot and it's why I do what I do.

Hi Mike. I'd like to send you an email. Would you mind sending me your email address to jeff@advancedadi.co.uk. It won't be shared. It's just an opportunity for you to help PDI's and get a reward for yourself. Thanks. Jeff

Hi Jeff, just emailed you

My pleasure 😊
