Sustaining a team of facilitators

Over the years many emergency services fall into the habit of reinventing driver training. This invigorates the training program for a while but then interest and the instructors' energy fizzle out. Five to ten years later the cycle starts again.

This resource provides you with a list of questions that can help you evaluate how wisely your organisation has invested in its facilitators and in its driver training program.

How well is my organisation managing driving standards?

To what extent does your service act across the whole organisation in implementing and maintaining driving standards? How do the various directorates assist? What roles do they play in getting people to the standard in the first place, helping them remain there and returning them to the standard should they deviate?

The checklists in this resource nominate actions that a directorate might take in managing driving standards.

Lesson dividers

A divider goes in the front of each of the ten lessons normally taught in sequence.

This allows all the lessons to be put in one folder for students undertaking a course.

The dividers are A4 but can be trimmed so the tab projects to the right of the page.
