Customer Reviews

A complete waste of time and money
A flimsy little book that does not help in any way. It covers each of the 24 key stage skills in just a few sentences each, pointing out the damn right obvious. eg. "REMEMBER - You must ensure your learner doesn't hit any other vehicle while they're practising parking". There are no tips on how to actually teach any skill whatsoever. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I had read the previous review and still bought the book thinking it really can't be that bad, there must be some useful info in it, but believe me there is absolutely nothing.

Pointless Little Book
This book gives you nothing specific to help you help someone else learn to drive. It points out the obvious (in a patronising manner) and spends most of its time trying to sell you the other books (which in my experience are no better). Plus it's really flimsy weighing in at little over 60 pages. Don't waste your money - if the DSA was really interested in improving standards (and not making money by trading on its positition as an authority) they'd provide this as a free brochure.
