Ok before I start this is not a sly way to advertise but I thought it would be a good guide to trainees.
Right then folks I thought I would start a post about the length of time of a course, my standard C course which is ideal for just about every new driver is based on 4 days and test on the 4th day, it enables the candidate to get familiar with all the test routes and enough time to train to test standard including the reverse.
Category CE is based over 3 days and this is enough time to fine tune the driving skills and master the reverse and uncouple and recouple procedures.
A day is based on 4 hour blocks and I find this method works well.
It would be interesting to hear from trainees on there experiences and also other trainers on there methods.
Of course an assessment drive is best but at the moment I have suspended doing these as I’m out of action recovering from a badly broken leg and don’t want to put to much on my instructor Garry who is doing a sterling job keeping the training side going. Once I’m back in action I will be doing assessments again hopefully in a month.
