If you have a large fleet of vehicles and need to maintain consistent high standards of car or van driving, or if you use large goods vehicles, and want to keep abreast of Continuing Professional Competence (development) for your exsiting drivers, then perhaps you may wish to consider selecting and training of some of your most experienced and competent drivers, to monitor the driving standards and training needs of your remaining drivers.

We can train your most experienced drivers or senior staff, to be able to assess your company vehicle drivers (car, van or wagon) as part of their cpc or cpd requirements.

This will allow you to make in-house risk assessments which will help you to comply with current health and safety legislation. It will give experienced LGV fleet drivers the skills and knowledge required to carry out driving assessments on behalf of the organisation in a safe, efficient and professional manner. Helping to identify and resolve poor driving practices and unsafe driving, reducing the chances of having an accident occurring and with a reduction in fleet costs

You will also be able to prioritise which staff need additional training.
