Driving for Work

Our flagship course for business drivers – enhance safety and empower your drivers with confidence and skill

Essential skills for safer business driving

Driving is statistically the most hazardous task that you will ask your employees to carry out. In the UK almost one in three road fatalities involves a driver on a journey for work purposes.

Our Driving for Work training course has been created specifically with business drivers in mind, and has been designed to equip them with knowledge and skills that help them stay safe on the road.

On-road training courses offer the most direct route to improved driver safety, helping employees to develop safer behaviours. Your business will benefit too. By supporting drivers in developing a calmer, more efficient driving style, you can benefit from reduced incidence of collisions and associated downtime, improved fuel economy and less wear and tear on vehicles.

Expert coaching

Driving for Work is a 3-hour course designed specifically for business drivers, aimed at helping them to become safer by addressing the most common risk factors encountered by at-work drivers, especially those who spend a significant proportion of their time out on the roads.

Spending time with one of our professional drivers, who can observe and analyse their driving and communicate with them about the particular driving challenges faced in their role, is the most direct way to target the development areas that will have the most positive impact on safety.
