Instructor Qualities A good Instructor will need to adopt an enthusiastic approach to every lesson, will thoroughly research the subject matter, simplify the difficult areas to be taught and set a good example by a confident attitude and a fair, firm, but friendly approach to the trainee operators and will always endeavour to see each problem through the eyes of the individual members of the course. This should be borne in mind when selecting potential instructors. National Course Content The following brief course content description covers the 10 day new entrant course.
