Role 6 - Deliver driver/rider training programmesRole 6 Unit 2 – Design learning programmesWhat this unit is aboutThis unit uses a ‘client-centred’ learning approach. It is about maximising learning by taking intoaccount the status, prior experience and particular needs of the learner.This unit assumes that any instructor should be able to respond to the needs of any individual whowishes to be trained. It is unreasonable to expect an instructor to understand, and be able to respondto, the specific needs of every type of special need. However, they should be able to activelymanage the process of finding alternative support in these circumstances.Instructors may be following outline programmes designed by others. As a learner-centred instructor,however, they must be able to adjust an outline programme to meet the needs of the learner bytaking prior learning into accountidentifying any issues or opportunities as the training progressesThey must also understand how adjustments will affect the learning outcomes of the programme.They can then make sure that no learning outcomes are missed and that learning opportunities aremaximised.Who this unit is forThis unit is for people who train learner driver/riders of all vehicles.GlossaryYour organisationVehicleDriver/riderLearnerThis is the company you work for or, if you are self employed, the rules youhave set for yourself so that you comply with relevant legal and licensingrequirements.This covers all powered means of travel, such as cars, motorcycles, vans, etc.This includes drivers or riders of all vehicles.This term can indicate novice, partly trained, trained or experienceddriver/riders including those who may be adding a licence category.National standard for driver andrider training7 of 33www.gov.uk/dsa
