Fleet Training and Assement in Gloucestershire & Herefordshire by Tony Shaw Driving

 Fleet Driver Assessments

 

Some employers believe that as long as they check that their drivers meet certain road traffic law requirements, (e.g. a full valid licence and the vehicle has an MOT certificate), that this is enough. To ensure the safety of this employee and others when they are on the road, this is incorrect!
The assessment is carried out in your vehicle and a full written report will be issued for your records. If some of your drivers need some additional training we can tailor a training session specifically based on your (and their) requirements.

 Our assessments include:

  • Licence checking
  • Eyesight checks 
  • Vehicle familiarisation
  • On-road assessment 
  • Driver attitude 
  • Eco-driving
  • On-road training recommendation/requirements
 Fleet training

Our Corporate driver/Fleet training is specifically tailored to suit your company’s needs, as no two companies will be identical. The Fleet training provides many benefits to employers (and employees) as well as helping you to comply with the law. 

 In today’s financial environment, companies are constantly looking for ways to reduce their expenses (including fuel bills, general vehicle running costs etc.) therefore increasingly become interested in Eco-safe driving methods. Developing the correct attitudes in your drivers not only saves lives but can also reduce fuel usage. Read more about fleet training.
