Who is this course for?

The course is suitable for any new driver or a driver who is using an unfamiliar vehicle, such as a driver moving up from a car to a van (LCV) and requires assessment in the vehicle.

The course begins with a briefing and objective setting session where delegates can offer any specific concerns relating to their general driving or any of the course content. This briefing will cover the reasons for the course, which may include the trainee’s driving performance or may be as part of a company’s H&S policy.

After the briefing, the course commences with an eyesight and vehicle check. The trainee will then drive for the remainder of the session, taking breaks where required. Our trainers will provide ample opportunities to explore the principles of keeping space, identifying risk, and keeping visible and communicating with other road users.

What is the outcome of the course?  

As with all of our practical training elements , this course includes a pre-course RED Driver Profiler (on-line RDP), and post-training, a full course report will be emailed directly to the participant and course administrator as required. This ensures that full H&S Duty of Care responsibilities are covered. A full and detailed report will be produced post-assessment for the driver and Manager, indicating the professional trainer’s independent assessment of the driving skills level of the trainee.
