Comments

Communication- Very strong communication skills, with audience specific delivery. Understanding that questioning and evoking answers from the trainees is a very productive teaching method. Clear instructions, excellent positive feedback.

Group Control- Pretty good, however, the outlining of ground rules at the start of the session can be of use and can be referred back to at any point of the session if required.

Delivery- All of the main teaching points where discussed, good introduction to the drill and discussion of priority. Good use of co-instructor to illustrate teaching points.

Drills- Good positioning of instructors at drill site, good feedback to trainees with input reducing as trainees confidence builds.

Drill Site Selection- The roads and traffic levels where appropriate to this level of training, but be sure the roads used are straight enough for the lead instructor to have a view of everything from one point.

Snaking- Excellent snaking, very safe and good control.
