At Excel School Of Motoring we are always looking to improve our training techniques.
We have just recently installed two bullet cameras in one the the training vehicles. The cameras are very discreet and produced very good footage.
Video recorded lessons are not mandatory and are completely free and optional.
The aim is to give the instructor the opportunity to record and replay the video with the pupil and discuss various other outcomes if a situation had been dealt with differently.
It has been used with a few "test subjects" (pupils) and has already proved effective. We will soon be offering to copy the recorded video onto a USB memory stick for the pupil to take home and review. Again, this has already been tried with one pupil and resulted in an extremely focused follow up lesson based on questions raised after the "home viewing".
Any teaching method that stimulates discussion is good and from our testing so far, video recording lessons, in-car playback and home viewing could be a very worthwhile addition tool for driving instructors. At a later date I will post some actual footage for you to check out later.
