Risk Management - Get it right, and your lesson flows with confidence. Get it wrong, and your score (and your pupil’s safety) can suffer.

Risk Management is one of the most influential categories in both the Part 3 and Standards Check, and it’s central to keeping learners, instructors, and other road users safe. Get it right, and your lesson flows with confidence. Get it wrong, and your score (and your pupil’s safety) can suffer.

In this practical workshop, written by Kathy Higgins Dip DI. F Inst MTD and Leanne Condliff DVSA ADI (Grade A), you’ll explore what risk management really means and how to apply it consistently and effectively in everyday lessons and test situations.
