NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR DRIVER AND RIDER TRAINING (NSDRT)

Role 6 — Deliver driver and rider training programmes

Role 6 of the NSDRT sets out the skills, knowledge and understanding needed by ADIs to deliver a programme of driver and rider training:

• 6.1 — legal requirements (instructor and vehicle)
• 6.2 — design learning programmes (identify learning needs, create lesson plans, plan routes etc.)
• 6.3 — enable safe and responsible driving (create a climate that promotes learning, explain/demo skills, coach (CCL))
• 6.4 — manage risk (give clear and timely directions and instructions, verbal/physical intervention etc.)
• 6.5 — develop your own skills, knowledge and understanding (act upon feedback, keep a reflective log, identify own learning needs etc.)

Instructors need to make themselves aware of the NSDRT. Details of how the standards apply to them can be found on DVSA’s website.
