In the BRC they'll let you slide on some minor things making sure that the people get the general idea of the thing thats being taught, but for the ERC they'll probably be a little bit more nit picky (all depends on instructors).
As someone whos been riding for some years these shouldn't be too much of an issue but sometimes we get used to bad habits which really are hard to brake.
i.e.
All fingers on your levers (some of us tend to 2 finger it)
Stop and put your left foot down first
Going through weaves and turns with your head and eyes up looking through your exit, never looking down.
Feet on pegs "properly" (Personally I corner using proper technique of having the balls of my feet on my pegs, not regular riding position) so cornering normally was awkward.
Getting on the bike with ALL of your gear already on (I usually put gloves on while I'm on the bike).
Etc. etc.

one day I'll have a bike and you can teach me... then we go ride
