At Beyond Driving, we understand the importance of safety and responsibility on the road, especially for businesses that rely on company drivers. Last weekend, our team was in Stoke-on-Trent conducting an Advanced Driving Assessment and Development course for National Grid. This course is designed to help corporate drivers across various vehicle types cultivate a safer and more systematic driving style, ensuring compliance with workplace safety regulations and promoting a culture of responsible driving.
A course for all corporate drivers
Whether your fleet consists of company cars, vans, 4x4s, LGVs, PCVs, D1, or B+E combinations, our driving risk assessment course is tailored to suit the specific needs of corporate drivers. The program is particularly suited for organisations aiming to reduce road risk, lower operational costs, and ensure that their employees are equipped with advanced driving skills.
Our instructors are experienced professionals who specialise in defensive, eco, and advanced driving techniques. We offer nationally recognized certification, ensuring your drivers receive quality training and your business is compliant with UK health and safety regulations.
Why assess and train?
Employers have a legal duty of care to assess, train, and supervise staff who drive as part of their job. Our driving risk assessment and training programs have been designed with this in mind, helping companies to identify and mitigate risks before incidents occur. By investing in driver training, you reduce the risk of accidents, protect your staff, and ultimately save on vehicle maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs.
We go beyond the standard assessment, developing programs based on your specific industry needs. Before any in-vehicle assessment, we provide an online driver training profile, allowing us to tailor our approach to the unique requirements of your business.
Who is this course aimed at?
Our Advanced Driving Assessment and Development course is ideal for:
- New Employees: When onboarding drivers expected to operate vehicles for work, a combination of assessment and basic training is provided (up to 2 drivers per day, per assessor).
- Vehicle Changes: If a driver’s vehicle changes, we offer assessments and basic training (up to 4 drivers per day, per assessor).
- Ongoing Risk Management: To maintain safe driving practices, periodic assessments and top-up training are recommended (up to 4 drivers per day, per assessor).
- Interview Process: For businesses looking to assess potential new hires, we can conduct assessments for up to 6 drivers per day, per assessor.
