This fleet driver training course is designed for company car or van drivers and teaches defensive driving skills. The course will introduce Advanced Driving Techniques to your fleet drivers which will help to improve their awareness and observation skills in all traffic situations and weather conditions.
Training Adapted to Your Budget
Fleet driver training courses are available as full day or half day sessions. The half day course covers a wide range of safer driving techniques. The full day course gives the participant more time to absorb the information and practice the new driving techniques, it also covers the eco-driving or fuel saving driving techniques in more detail.
To ensure that your drivers and company get the most from the time spent with our trainers our fleet driver courses follow a set format:
Driver Initial Assessment
This first part of the course allows our trainers to assess your driver's habits this will establish areas for the main part of the training to concentrate on.
Interactive Presentation
By focusing on any poor habits highlighted in the assessment drive, the trainer will target the individual drivers knowledge and risk assessment skills and be able to develop a better understanding of good practice in a non risk environment. During this period, the trainer will be able to develop knowledge and application of Road Traffic Law.
Defensive Driving Skills
The main part of the training involves defensive and advanced driving skills these are methods which encourage the driver to control the position and speed of the vehicle safely and smoothly and adapting to the road and traffic. This skill requires a positive and courteous attitude along with a high standard of driving competence based on concentration, effective all round observation, anticipation and planning.

Your drivers will be encouraged to drive in a more eco-friendly and fuel efficient way and with more mechanical sympathy to the vehicle. These techniques have many cost benefits to your company.
