This week, Beyond Driving’s team of experts has been actively conducting our Advanced Driving Assessment and Development course across multiple locations for National Grid, including Hinkley, Hereford, and Gloucester. This tailored program is designed to elevate the driving skills of corporate drivers, ensuring they operate vehicles safely and efficiently in a modern industrial landscape.
Tailored Training for Modern Driving Demands
As the automotive industry evolves, so too does the need for updated driving skills, especially with the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into corporate fleets. Our sessions in Hereford were particularly exciting, featuring the latest EV models, demonstrating our commitment to staying abreast of technological advancements and environmental considerations in driver training.
