‘‘<br />
The standards check will not<br />
be considered acceptable if<br />
there is only one trainee and<br />
will be treated as a failed<br />
standards check...<br />
‘‘<br />
“Most<br />
courses are<br />
structured<br />
around a<br />
4:1 and 2:1<br />
ratio”, as<br />
this course<br />
is at<br />
Camriders...<br />
all standards checks must include at<br />
least two pupils. Unless our records<br />
show the ATB routinely structures their<br />
training courses on a 1:1 ratio, or a<br />
trainee drops out part way through the<br />
course, the standards check will not be<br />
considered acceptable if there is only one<br />
trainee and will be treated as a failed<br />
standards check.”<br />
Motorbike instructors are authorised to<br />
teach up to four pupils during elements A<br />
to D of CBT, and two pupils on road<br />
during both CBT and direct access<br />
scheme training.<br />
Mark added: “If the trainer can show<br />
there is a clear reason for only having<br />
one trainee it will be taken in to account.<br />
So, for example, if the trainer is working<br />
with a candidate with additional needs or<br />
a bike breaks down part way through the<br />
training course, the 1:1 standards check<br />
can be accepted.<br />
“The rest of the standards check will<br />
stay the same, with trainers being<br />
marked on the same 17 areas of<br />
competence as they are now. ”
