Training Schedule AM - PM

Day 1 AM

The format is a classroom session introducing the candidate to the course and the assessment criteria and documents to be used, Licence checks and the correct phraseology required to guide the candidate through the correct route.

Day 1 AM/PM

The RHA Trainer will assess the candidates driving skills.

And if required will then offer as a separate drive, remedial training to bring the candidate up to the skills required.

Day 2

The RHA Trainer will drive the vehicle and display a specific trait and the candidate should be able to identify the fault, and be able to understand why the fault occurs E.G if driving at low speed in top gear the vehicle will develop speed creep and could then be exceeding the speed limits without actually driving the vehicle too fast. If a corner is taken in too high a gear the vehicle will under steer.

This will continue for the remainder of the day with separate drives and different traits or faults for the candidate to identify and understand.
