About Defensive Driver Training

We are one of the UK’s leading corporate driver training companies. Established in 1989, we provide defensive and advanced driving courses to every UK business sector including banking & finance, the petrochemical industry, pharmaceuticals, electricity & gas generation and distribution, local authorities, NHS Trusts and UK government agencies. Over the past 31 years we have trained more than 250,000 drivers for thousands of fleet operators throughout the UK and Ireland. 

Our range of full & half day advance driving courses covers car, van, mini-bus, PCV and HGV drivers. The variety of course topics allows you to build your own driver training programme ensuring relevant content for your drivers and business needs.  We have a proven track record of helping individuals and companies to reduce road-risk, improve road safety, and reduce claims rates and insurance costs by up to 65%. An added benefit is reduced fuel consumption, typically 11%, reduced vehicle wear and tear, and reduced third party insurance claims.  

Defensive Driver Training Limited is also one of the UK's principal suppliers of driver cpc periodic training. The modular menu of JAUPT approved driver cpc training courses gives you the flexibility to plan a five-year CPC training programme, relevant to your business sector. The result is improved driver safety, reduced costs, improved customer relations and an improved company image.   Our trainers come from a variety of backgrounds including the Police, Fire & Rescue Service and Military.  They are all good communicators with relevant experience and can pitch the level of training to suit the ability and experience of individual drivers.
