Standard Defensive Driving Refresher Training

HSE Guidelines suggest that all driving staff should receive regular refresher training. We recommend refresher training every three years.

This course is designed for drivers who have attended a previous course and is an assessment of their current driving ability with an opportunity to reinforce the principles of defensive driving learnt from the previous course.

Prior to the course we provide each delegate with a set of course notes covering the salient points of defensive driving.  We then arrange for an Instructor to meet the delegates at an arranged rendezvous point. 

One instructor can run two three hour driver training sessions per day from one location either on a 1:1 ratio ( two drivers per day) or 2:1 ratio ( four drivers per day).  The training then follows the same format as the practical part of the one day Defensive Driving course

i.e.

Eyesight check and  vehicle check
Assessment drive from the delegate
Demonstration driver with commentary from the instructor ( if required to illustrate a point)
Second drive from delegate receiving helpful tuition and advice.

Driver Reports
 
After the course each driver will receive a Certificate of Attendance and a full written report which will highlight any areas that can be improved. If we identify any drivers who we feel would benefit from further help, their report is fast tracked and we will discreetly contact you and arrange a further 1:1 in vehicle session.
 
You will also receive feedback on other items such as vehicle condition, eyesight checks and any other safety related suggestions that may help. . 
 
This is a very cost effective way of maintaining driving standards and complying with Health and Safety legislation.
