This course is for those instructors who truly care, who want to prepare learners for life beyond the test — not just passing it. Five insightful modules, practical activities, and live chats designed to help you make a real difference.

“Excess speed is a contributory factor in 1 in 3 fatal road crashes.
A crash at 30mph has twice the energy and destructive potential of a crash at 20mph.”
Please note: This course is not affiliated with or endorsed by UKROEd or the NDORS scheme. It is an independent professional development course informed by my experience delivering official NDORS courses – but designed to support instructors through client-centred, behavioural coaching practices.
Beyond the Test is a course designed to help you engage your learners in real conversations and activities about speed, stress, decision-making, and peer pressure – all the things that influence how they drive in the real world… after the pass!
With five engaging modules and supportive group sessions, you’ll get tools, insights, and fresh ideas to empower your learners well beyond their test day.
I hear it in every Speed Course:
“I didn’t see the signs.”
“I was late!”
“I drive for a living, I’m a good driver!”
Beyond the Test was born from those moments – to help instructors start these conversations before the ticket, the points, or the crash.
Many of the 17 DVSA Standards Check & Part 3 Competencies – like managing risk, adapting teaching techniques, and reflection – are
woven into the activities, language and strategies you’ll use throughout this course.
You’ll build the kind of coaching habits that support your Standards Check and Part 3 performance over time, rather than cramming at the last minute!
It’s deep, reflective CPD that helps you build the kind of coaching style that evolves over time – the kind that strengthens not just your learners’ awareness, but your long-term approach to planning, risk, and reflection.
Aligned with the GDE framework, Beyond the Test supports instructors to teach across all five levels – from practical driving to the deeper emotional and
lifestyle decisions that shape how we drive.
Course Objectives
Across five interactive modules and weekly Insight sessions, you’ll discover:
You’ll get a private Facebook Group community, Zoom support, practical tools, and loads of in-car activity ideas – all designed by me to build safer drivers from the inside out.
How will the course work?
The course will run for 10 weeks, with a classroom session every 2 weeks and an Insight Session on Zoom on the weeks in-between.
Week 1 will be a 2 hr Classroom Session via Zoom.
Week 2 will have the Insight Session running to discuss the tasks and activities provided the previous week, answer any questions and review progress.
You will also have access to a range of resources on a private Facebook group for the duration of the course.
You can ask questions directly too!
All weekly Modules and Insight Sessions will run at the same time and day as the initial session booked, starting with the date on the booking.
E.g. if you book for a session starting at 6pm on a Wednesday, all sessions in the block will run at 6pm on Wednesdays.
Course Modules
Module 1 – Myths in Motion
Unpacking the top mis-beliefs and exposing the uncomfortable truth. Includes in-car activities to challenge assumptions and encourage deeper insight.
Module 2 – Limits & Lapses
Things full licence holders often don’t know about speed limits — and what happens when autopilot takes over. Prepare them to recognise their own conscious incompetence. Includes practical in-car activities.
Module 3 – Triggers & Fire drills
Equip your learners to identify emotional and physiological triggers — and rehearse their responses before the pressure hits. Includes in-car “fire drill” coaching.
Module 4 – Forces & Flashpoints
Help learners recognise the external forces that drive speeding behaviour — from peer pressure to tailgating to time stress. Highly practical for real-life and test prep. Includes in-car tools.
Module 5 – Distractions & Directions
Teach learners how to take the wheel of their own attention — and build adaptable, transferable life skills. Includes focused in-car awareness training.
