Fleet Driver Training

Welcome to the Fleet Driver Training page.

Most companies spend a significant amount of money on training their staff, from sales techniques to customer service, yet company drivers are often entrusted with an expensive asset with absolutely no training beyond that received to pass their basic driving test, often many years before. It is essential for fleet managers to consider the benefits of road safety training. As well as laying down risk management policies, they should be implementing proficiency testing and assessments for all drivers, and this is where we can help.

We can offer a driver training course for your company drivers including a short presentation to outline the need for driver training and raising the key issues of road traffic accident statistics, risk factors, the importance of regular vehicle checks, management of space and time, and various driving environments. A practical vehicle check, driving licence and eyesight check will be conducted before commencing on-the-road training. Each delegate will then take a turn behind the wheel and the trainer will assess their driving and give a demonstration drive with a commentary to suit the training requirements, incorporating the principles of a ‘systematic approach’ to driving. Each delegate will receive helpful advice aimed at improving observation, attention and planning.

The course is usually delivered at a ratio of two delegates per vehicle for the on-road element.
You will be required to provide a fully insured and road-worthy vehicle with fuel for use during the practical training, and a room or space for the presentation.
