Practical driver training to DSA standards

Fleet Practical Driver Training provides on-road tuition for drivers who have been assessed or identified as “at risk”. The service helps you meet “duty of care” obligations under HSE regulations by addressing both driver skills and vehicle safety issues. You submit a data request form identifying the drivers who are to be assessed. Training can be arranged at a location and time to suit the driver.Pre-training tests are arranged, including driving licence, basic eyesight, vehicle condition, tax disc and insurance documentation checks. Prior to on-road training, drivers undergo a 45-60 minute driving theory training session, including instructions on how to complete regular vehicle safety checks.

Practical driver training is delivered, to standards accredited by the Driver Standards Agency. Normal duration is 4 hours 1:1 or 7 hours 2:1, with training based on individual drivers' needs.
