Our principal trainer, Stephen Blenkinsop is a City and Guilds Certified Trainer and Assessor, he holds the Certficate of Education, and is an Approved Driving Instructor on the Fleet Register, your assurance that you are getting a qualifed and experienced instructor.
He has also provided safety and driver training and assessment courses to Fire Service Junior Officers, and assessment training to those in the private sector.
We can therefore provide the following training, or give assessments in:
Driving Risk Assessments on drivers who drive a vehicle (car, van or wagon) as part of their daily routine. This is a mandatory requirement for any driver of any vehicle, by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 legislation. Risk assessments should be recorded, analysed, reviewed and updated reguarly for all parts of an employee's activity in the workplace. If that workplace involves driving a vehicle on public roads, then it shoud be completed.
Pre-employment driving assessments on potential new employees. Would you allow a driver to drive a liveried vehicle on the road just because you have sighted their driving licence? This is not sufficient in todays world and places your hard earned company reputation with a virtual stranger
If you wish to train some of your senior staff or drivers to complete driver assessments as part of CPC and CPD we can cater for that. You are not allowed to teach someone in a car unless you are an Approved Driving Instructor, but you can assess someone without infringing legislation, and then request external training by suitably qualified personnel.
Post accidents assessments on drivers involved in a serious, or a number of accidents. The legislation requires you to record, monitor and review all accidents in your organisation. Let us be part of that, by supplying a fair and unbiased assessment of the drivers in your organisation, who may be contributing to a bad accident record with insurance premiums being increased to compensate.
Online Assessments can be a useful way of prioritising staff training, if you have a large number of people to assess in a short period of time. There is however, no real substitute for the human touch. Consider this; would you trust a surgeon to carry out an operation if he has only ever been trained and assessed on a computer simulation?
If you wish to use this procedure, we recommend an independent approach, too many companies offer this service and one is never sure if the results and recommendations are weighted to promote their own training facilities.
If you have any queries about this form of assessment, feel free to get in touch with us at any time.
