Customer Reviews

Too much theory- not enough help.
I bought this book expecting it to help me through my part 3 test. I wanted help with lesson plans,recaps and Q&A. There is a lot in the book about the theory of it all, but as a practical help it is certainly lacking.

There are many referances to "The driving instuctors handbook"
funnily enough by the same auther and I bought that as well only to find it eqully lacking.

I have just bought some exellent books from Grade 6 supplies in Cardiff (always advertises in ADI news) They are full of all the lesson plans loads of help with Q&A and they link quite nicly to their Colourfile Profesional Lesson plan book.

If I had bought these first I would not have bought ether of the first two books.
