Grading and Standards
The UK Road
Safety Ltd Chauffeur Les Enfants course is split
into several graded standards.
These are;
 | Fail |
| Bronze |
| Silver |
| Gold |
| Gold Plus |
|
Fail
No certificate will be issued to any person who
fails to reach a Bronze standard. UK Road Safety
Ltd have set that minimum standard at a similar
level to the Driving Standards Agency Learner
Driving Test.
It is important to note that just because someone
has passed the basic driving test it does not
necessarily make them competent to drive after they
have passed. We have all experienced new drivers
who have passed their driving test who after only a
few weeks of driving by themselves fall well below
the basic test standard and therefore at a higher
risk on the road. It is also important to note that
a lot of child carers come into Britain from other
countries around the world where the standard
of driver testing may be well below that of the UK.
A fail would come as a result of either breaking the
law or performing a driving manoeuvre that was
either actually or potentially dangerous to another
road user.
Bronze
A Bronze level pass shows that a candidate has
demonstrated a competent drive and is able to drive
to the standard that is required to pass the Driving
Standards Agency basic driving test. They will have
made no serious or dangerous faults during the
drive, but will have shown a fairly high number of
minor faults.
Silver
A Silver level pass shows that a candidate has
demonstrated a good standard of drive and is able to
drive to a standard slightly exceeding the standard
that is required to pass the Driving Standards
Agency basic driving test. They will have made no
serious or dangerous faults during the drive, but
will have shown a medium to high number of minor
driving faults.
Gold
A Gold level pass shows that a candidate has
demonstrated a high standard of drive and is able to
drive to a standard well above the standard that is
required to pass the Driving Standards Agency basic
driving test. They will have made no serious or
dangerous faults during the drive, but will have
shown a low to medium number of minor driving faults
Gold Plus
A Gold Plus level
pass shows that a candidate has demonstrated an
exceptionally high standard of drive and is able to
drive to a standard approaching advanced driving
level. They will have made no serious or dangerous
faults during the drive but may have shown a very
low number of minor faults. With a small amount of
further training a client who has attained this very
high standard could take an advanced test.
