Back to Basics Fault ID

Spotting faults in real time is one of the most essential skills for an instructor, yet it’s also one of the hardest to master under pressure. Miss a fault, and progress stalls. Step in too late, and safety is at risk.

In this hands-on, face-to-face session, Kathy Higgins & Leanne Condliff will take you back to basics, helping you sharpen your focus, your timing, and your confidence in identifying and responding to faults effectively.
