What do These Advanced Driving groups look for when chosing People for Observers? Does It vary from Group To Group? What sort of Training do they receive?

Hello Licensex2,
After you have passed your Advanced test anyone can train to become an observer. With the IAM you start off as a Group Observer and undertake a practical training program, then sit in with a associate under guidance. Once you have done a minimum of 8 hours observing and guided one associate through the IAM test you take the written theory test and once passed become a Group Qualified Observer.

Best Wishes,
Mike

Thanks Mike, I'll wait for a call then?

My group, Worcestershire, have introduced a requal scheme for observers, which is a good thing...I think.

I've recently completed mine, I did the theory ages ago, but through one thing and another I didn't do the practical until a couple of weeks ago.

It was surprisingly good to be back under the spotlight again
