A few students are not great at getting their answers across when verbalising and can then take full advantage of the written answers where they get a chance to show they can answer but on paper and may feel uncomfortable airing their views in front of a class.

Practical: works with hands on with the student reading how the manufacturers would recommend that the hydraulic platform is used correctly and the student then goes on to show the teacher how they approach each part of the practical session, driving hydraulic platforms around a given course mapped out on the floor with directions on what to do at each location will then determine if the student is capable of handling with a confidence what he’s been requested to do.
