Module I:
Accident Prevention, Collission Avoidance & Skid Control
Description:
Few drivers have the opportunity to learn and practice the techniques of collision avoidance and loss of control prevention, under controlled conditions. The only way to achieve this is through a Skid-Pan training session, where trainees can acquire essential practical driving skills and are taught how to deal with emergency situations, how to remain in control of their vehicles at all times, especially when driving on wet roads, and how to prevent and avoid a collision. Duration: half day.

Module II: Defensive Driving
Description:
This is a tried and tested method specifically designed to prevent road accidents and collisions. It ensures that nothing is left to chance and nothing is overlooked. The training is focussed on developing the driver's strategy in recognising-, dealing with- and re-acting to the mistakes of other road users. Trainees are taught how to minimise their own mistakes, and how to create a "safety cushion" around their vehicles when driving in traffic, i.e. to have enough time and space to think and react correctly to hazards which may pose a threat to their safety.
Road Craft deals with the practical application of the rules and techniques of Defensive Driving. Trainees receive individual instruction, on the public road, and are provided with a detailed analysis of their current level of proficiency. This will assist the trainee in preparing for the final test, which is attended ±4 weeks after completion of this module.
During the Final Test, the candidate’s performance is evaluated and measured against the Killarney Advanced Driving course standard. If successful, a Killarney Certificate of Proficiency will be issued, which will be valid for one, two or three years, depending on the level of proficiency achieved during the test. This will means that a one, two or three yearly test will then be required to renew the Certificate of Proficiency, once it has expired.
Module III: Vehicle Control Skills
A specialised, hands-on training module which is aimed at developing the driver’s ability to apply advanced techniques in dealing with normal as well as hazardous situations on the road.
The focus is on improving the driver’s knowledge and understanding of his vehicle’s abilities and limitations; how to manage time and distance; the control of weight transfer whilst braking/steering/accelerating; disciplines of cornering and smooth operation of the controls. Emphasis is placed on developing the driver’s ability to strategise and to re-act instinctively and correctly, in any circumstance. Delegates are issued with a Certificate of Attendance.
