The Ultimate Standards Check Podcast
In this episode of The Instructor Podcast, Terry is joined by Bob Morton and Chris Bensted for a full conversation about the Standards Check and Part 3.
Together, they break down what the DVSA is really looking for, how the SC has developed from the old PST system, and why instructors often overcomplicate things.
The discussion covers risk management, goal setting, common myths (like failing if you use the dual controls), and why preparation should come from everyday lessons rather than special “test prep.” They also share advice on handling nerves, reflecting after setbacks, and why consistent CPD is vital.
Whether you’re a PDI or an experienced ADI, this episode offers clear, practical insight into what makes a strong Standards Check, and how to build better lessons day-to-day.
