Merit

The project MERIT project is the first EU funded project to focus upon the skills and competencies of the intermediary for road safety issues in the case of learner drivers, namely the driving instructor. 

• a survey of existing standards for driving instructors in 19 European countries,
• the development of educational goals for driving instructors based on the GDE Framework 
• and, finally, a consultation phase with the driving instructor sector and their representatives.

A major aim of the project is to introduce driving instructor training requirements on the higher levels of driver behaviour, and the teaching methods to train learner drivers on these levels.
