Core Competencies: Identification
The ‘core competencies’ are the essential skills that you will need as an ADI. You will be required to demonstrate these skills on your Instructional Ability test.
The first of the core competencies is the ability to identify your pupils’ driving faults.
Most people are able to identify drivers’ faults as they perceive them – “you touched the kerb” or “you cut that right corner”. As an ADI it is important that you feel comfortable pointing out driver errors. To help you prepare for when you have your own pupils, you can practice fault identification on your own driving! When you make a driver fault, identify to yourself what the fault was. This way you will feel more confident at pointing out faults, and your ability to spot them will improve. So in essence, the first person you will be teaching to drive is you.
