TITAN materials
Travel training materials
Here are some examples of the TITAN materials that may be used whilst travel training, and some that parents may want to use themselves for travel training outside school or college hours.
TITAN training levels
TITAN uses a traffic light system of an introductory certificate followed by red, amber and green training levels. Each level has various skills that the student must learn, and their skills will then be assessed at the end of the level. The school or college will produce individual record forms based on their local area and the particular needs of the students involved. Below are details of what the different levels may include, and sample student record forms.
