Look Beyond The Fault
Most instructors can identify what a learner did.
The challenge is understanding why they did it.
A missed observation, poor speed choice or hesitation at a junction is often influenced by something deeper. It could be understanding, confidence, workload, previous experience or the way the learner is processing information.
Understanding Your Learner has been designed to help instructors explore the factors that influence behaviour, decision making and performance behind the wheel.

Why Understanding The Learner Matters
When the same fault appears repeatedly, giving the same advice repeatedly rarely solves the problem.
The instructor needs to understand what may be influencing the learner’s behaviour in the first place.
This course helps you move beyond fault correction and start exploring the thoughts, feelings, understanding and decision-making processes that sit behind performance.
