The ‘Standards check’ is quite simply an assessment of YOU, the ADI, carried out by DSA and designed to check that you are providing effective tuition at the correct level to a pupil. There is an awful lot of ‘urban myth’ surrounding the check test; what you can do, what you can’t, what to say, what not to say - enough to be quite confusing if you are approaching your first standards check, or perhaps have done one or more before but never really felt as though you were really in control.
We Cover
Stockton on Tees, Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough and all surrounding areas.
At EXCEED we have a proven track record of taking both first timers successfully through their first test and ‘rescuing’ established ADIs who have for whatever reason slipped below the appropriate standard. We can and will show you what you need to know, highlight and focus on any development areas and work on these to ensure that you are prepared for the standards check.
Any standards check development should however be viewed as part of your overall long term development, part of your CPD, and be reviewed regularly. We recommend re-assessing your skills regularly. This represents good value for money as it keeps you on the ball and should mean next time the standards check comes around it will be much less of an ordeal and potential expense. More importantly it will mean you are constantly performing at a higher level with your pupils complete with all the business rewards that you would expect from this.
