How online Fleet Driver training assessments work

Online assessments for Fleet drivers are a cost effective way of establishing your risk exposure quickly. The practical in-car assessments and training raise awareness of the individual Fleet driver to their responsibilities and develops better attitudes towards driving. Developing correct driving attitudes and utilising Eco-safe driving methods can reduce fuel usage by up to 8%, which makes in-car training a cost effective option too.

Whether your drivers are ad-hoc vehicle users or clock thousands of miles annually, Directions have a Fleet driver-training programme in the North West of the UK that will unquestionably enhance your health and safety policy and will ensure your Duty of Care responsibility is met.

All our trainers are thoroughly versed in using the Roadcraft ‘IPSGA’ system of car control and are highly qualified advanced drivers and are DSA Fleet registered driver training instructors specialising in Defensive Driver Training Techniques .

Our Fleet driver training courses are designed to change driver attitudes and behaviours and help reduce the risk of involvement in actual or potential collisions. Directions Trainer’s provide drivers with the information and skills they need to be safer, together with an action plan to reduce their own personal risks.  The trainer will give a demonstration drive and the remainder of the course is spent purely on driver development training.  The day concludes with a course debrief, during which time the trainer will complete the Driver Development Reports which will be sent to the Company Fleet Manager along with Course Completion Certificates.

On road in-vehicle driver training over a variety of routes is recognised as the single most effective way to reduce driver related incidents and we provide a positive learning environment which encourages clients to identify areas of strong and weak driving performance. If required additional training can be arranged to prepare candidates for an IAM or RoSPA advanced driving test. 

Some course content can be developed specifically for your company, covering specific risks in workshop sessions and this can ensure that cost-effective training is carried out - and your employees are 'off-job' for the minimum amount of time.  Our in-vehicle training courses are best carried out in the vehicles your employees use every day, as this will be more relevant to them, although we can, if required, provide vehicles where necessary, contact us to find out more.
