Emergency Service Blue Light Training Course

This four day course is designed to give emergency service drivers the knowledge and skills to ensure that they are able to safely drive an emergency vehicle under blue light conditions to the scene of an incident.  The course is based on the Police Driving Manual "Roadcraft". Ideally students should be trained to an advanced level before being trained to conduct emergency response driving.

The appropriate level of driving qualification will be decided by each organisation, and whilst we would recommend a RoSPA Gold Advanced level be attained, the very minimum standard should be RoSPA Silver level.   If this level of driving has not been achieved please contact us to discuss how we can help.
