Introduction

The Class One Driving Course is an advanced driver training programme of credit based learning that will provide to those who are successful in its completion a Level–3 award under the National Qualification Framework system.

For those who embark upon the Class–One Driving Course they will find this is the start of a whole new road driving experience. It will elevate knowledge, practical driving skill, and with the overall effect of improving driver safety within a public road environment.

This takes road driving to an outstanding level and offers an exciting opportunity to those who are enthusiastic about setting themselves a high standard. This isn’t a course designed for anoraks either, and there won’t be a cloth cap and pair of driving gloves in sight – unless you bring these with you.

Format of the Course

The Class One Driving Course has a requirement to cover a minimum number of learning hours, which in practical terms translates into three days. Two of the days provide practical on–road driver training, with one date being set aside for theory-based training and both theory as well as practical testing.

Before the course begins, each candidate is provided with a course pre–read and manuals as a distance learning package and for reference purposes during the course itself. The cost of these items is included within the course fee.

On the final day of the course candidates will sit a multiple choice answer style in written examination, as well an oral test in knowledge of key components. A practical driving skills assessment will take place too and candidates need to achieve the required standard at each stage to be considered as passing the course.

Pass Certificates are awarded by OCN Credit4Learning, which supports providers that deliver training in a wide range of settings. To ensure that consistency is always maintained at a top level, each course is quality assessed by an independent moderator appointed by OCN Credit4Learning, so the Ride Drive customer can be confident the standard of delivery will always be of the highest quality.


Class One Driving Course – The Syllabus

The course syllabus covers essential driving skills components, such as The System of Car Control, which describes a process of making progress on the road by advanced observation leading to the identification and risk assessment of hazards incorporating the management of risk by use of an effective planning strategy.

There are many other topics that are covered too, but the great thing about the Class One Driving Course is that whilst it is required to cover established key elements, it remains flexible enough to be tailored to the specific needs of the individual.

Therefore, and available at additional cost, other elements can be introduced, such as car control sessions, as well as skid pan driver training.

The three training dates can either be completed consecutively, or as three individual dates if preferred. Administered in this way provides the customer with a flexible training package that can more easily fit around existing commitments.


The Attributes and Objectives of The Class–One Driving Course

  • The course is backed by OCN Credit4Learning, a leading UK awards organisation that is accredited by the Regulatory Authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
  • It provides a learning process that is flexible and responsive to the needs of the candidate, which can also be adapted to incorporate additional skills-based activities.
  • The course is credit based, consisting of individual units of assessment, each with an assigned level and credit value attached.
  • Candidates who demonstrate they have achieved the learning outcomes of a specified unit are awarded credits towards the achievement of a full qualification.
  • All aspects of each course are scrutinised by an independant external moderator, thereby ensuring consistency and quality of both content and delivery of the course.
  • The standard of training and learning outcomes can be measured against an established benchmark within the National Framework Qualification system.
  • Achieve a strong working knowledge of the advanced driving system through both a practical and theory based learning environments.
  • To develop a deep sense of empathy for the inadequacies and welfare of other road users and therefore tolerance.
  • To preserve and to protect the candidate from becoming involved in a road incident or collision.
  • To guide each candidate to achieve their desired learning outcome.
