Implementation Strategy

Phase 1: Introduction and Simulator Training

• Begin with driving simulator sessions to build foundational skills.
• Integrate basic knowledge and road safety principles into simulator training.

Phase 2: Classroom and Practical Sessions

• Conduct classroom sessions on road safety, signals, and signs.
• Combine theoretical lessons with practical simulator tests.

Phase 3: Hands-On Mechanic Training

• Provide workshops on basic mechanic knowledge and routine vehicle maintenance.
• Encourage hands-on practice with actual vehicles where feasible.

Phase 4: Assessment and Feedback

• Regular assessments through written tests, simulator evaluations, and practical exams.
• Provide feedback and additional training sessions based on performance.

This structured approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of driving, from basic vehicle handling to advanced road safety and mechanical knowledge.
