The Necessity of Advanced Driving Training in Corporate Settings
Driving is one of the most hazardous activities associated with work, with statistics indicating that on average, 20 people are killed and 220 are seriously injured each week in incidents involving vehicles at work. This stark reality underscores the importance of rigorous driving risk assessments and specialized training to manage and mitigate these risks effectively.

Comprehensive Corporate Driver Training Package
Our approach to corporate driver safety extends beyond mere physical training. We begin with an online profiling system that serves as the initial step in fleet compliance, economically generating a risk score for each driver. This system allows businesses to identify high-risk drivers early in the process, which is crucial for tailoring subsequent in-vehicle assessments and training sessions.
In-depth Risk Assessments and Practical Training
Our on-site training process starts with a concise driving questionnaire that gathers detailed information about each driver’s working practices and vehicle use. This data is crucial for crafting a personalized training program that addresses the specific needs and risk factors associated with their regular driving routes and behaviors.
Following the initial assessment, our instructors conduct thorough on-road assessments to scrutinise driving habits, attitudes, and behaviors directly. This phase is critical for identifying areas where safety improvements are necessary and for teaching advanced driving techniques aimed at reducing risks and operational costs. Techniques taught include eco-driving methods that help reduce fuel consumption and lower insurance premiums, which are particularly beneficial during times of economic uncertainty.
Reporting and Continuous Risk Management
Upon completion of the assessments, Beyond Driving provides a detailed report that outlines identified risks and offers recommendations for mitigating these risks. Suggestions may include further targeted training for individual drivers or broader policy implementations to enhance overall fleet safety.
