MIND DRIVING - training in Scotland, May 2010

Organised by On Board Training
as part of their ongoing commitment
to raising standards in driver training.

Four day event 4-7th May 2010:
workshops and seminar talks by Stephen Haley

WORKSHOPS - Three full day MIND DRIVING sessions for OBT driver trainers

"This is one of the best training workshops I have had in 9yrs of driver training. The information and ideas sit exceptionally well to be integrated with and fill the gaps with DSA and Roadcraft publications. Seeds have been sown, now the ideas need to be cultivated and used to best effect."

The next step is to integrate this content into lesson plans.

Some comments:

• "extremely useful and enjoyable"
• "good new approach, and it's all teachable"
• "a lot of new tools to improve lessons"
• "makes key points easier to get across"
• "will definitely make pupils safer drivers"
• "adds more satisfaction to the job."

Some trainers saw breakthroughs with pupils in their next few lessons after the workshops.

Fostering simple 'thinking skills' gives pupils a much better foundation for lower crash risk.
