Training resources
Our Chief Observer and our local Examiners have produced some useful documents to help our Observers when preparing Associates for the Test.
These are available for download to add to your Associate training resources.
Examiners' thoughts:
We have had two IAM RoadSmart examiners attend our meetings. Tim Eden and Roger Ware each gave a wide-ranging talk covering many of the points that they encounter in their work for IAM RoadSmart.
Chief Observer's Tip sheets:
Tips from the Chief Observer are published occasionally – look out for them here.
Freda Richardson – together with her Observer – Chris Patten.
Chris is our newest Observer, he took on Freda as an associate whilst a Trainee, and qualified as a Local Observer whilst completing her coaching. Freda was extremely determined to succeed at the test, so we have a combination of our newest observer and our newly qualified oldest member – Freda is proud to say that she is 87 years old!
