At Beyond Driving, we recognise that the effectiveness of utility terrain vehicle (UTV) operations hinges significantly on the quality of training provided to the operators. That’s why we’ve been proactive in offering bespoke ‘Train the Trainer’ courses, tailored to meet the specific needs of individual companies. Most recently, our team was in Swadlincote delivering a custom UTV instructor programme for The Pallet Network. This initiative is designed to empower them to conduct quality, in-house basic UTV training for their staff.
Tailored Training Solutions
Our approach to UTV instructor training is anything but one-size-fits-all. We recognise that each company has unique requirements, environments, and challenges. For The Pallet Network, a leader in pallet distribution, the necessity for a customised training programme that addresses the specific nuances of their operations was evident. Our bespoke course in Swadlincote was meticulously crafted to enable their team to efficiently run in-house UTV training, ensuring that all operators are proficient, safe, and compliant with the latest standards.
What Our Bespoke Train the Trainer Courses Offer
Customised Curriculum: We develop our training programmes around the specific operational needs and environments of our clients. This could involve custom scenarios that mimic real-life situations, specialised handling techniques for different terrains, or particular focus on the safety procedures relevant to the client’s daily operations.
Expert Instructors: All Beyond Driving instructors are specialists with extensive experience in off-roading. They bring a wealth of knowledge regarding UTV transmissions, differentials, and other fitted equipment across various vehicle brands. This diverse expertise ensures that our training is broad, yet applicable to the specific vehicles used by our clients.
Comprehensive Certification: Beyond Driving is committed to the highest standards of training certification. Our instructors are QUALSAFE certified and hold Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor registrations. This guarantees not only the quality of training but also that it is recognised nationally across various industries.
Health and Safety Emphasis: Given the potentially hazardous nature of operating UTVs, especially in industrial or rugged outdoor settings, our courses strongly emphasise health and safety. All candidates are required to have a working knowledge of Health and Safety at Work, with a minimum level 1 qualification, and must be first-aid trained.
The Training Process
During our bespoke courses, candidates undergo both theoretical and practical sessions which cover:
• UTV Operation Knowledge: Deep dive into the mechanics and operation of UTVs, focusing on safe handling, maintenance checks, and understanding of all operational features.
• Attachment Use: Training on the correct use of various UTV attachments which are crucial for specific tasks and environments.
• Effective Training Skills: Since these courses are designed to train trainers, a significant focus is placed on developing excellent communication and instructional skills.
• Risk Assessment and Management: Candidates learn to conduct detailed risk assessments and manage potential hazards effectively, ensuring safety at all times.
