Cost
A full day of training for two employees costs just £300.00.
The course has produced some excellent results and demonstrates the benefits of having two employees working together in the training car.
What is involved?
This is a one-day course with one instructor to two employees. Expert trainers will come to your workplace at dates and times to suit you. Where possible, training will take place in one of your company vehicles. If one is not available, please talk to us and will try to organise an alternative.
During the day
The trainer will plan the route and include an assessment drive, a presentation, a demonstration drive by the trainer, coaching drives and final drive to confirm that employees have understood the new driving techniques, so they can adapt their own style accordingly.
Each driver receives a comprehensive debrief and a certificate of completion.
How other local businesses have benefitted
To date, over 400 drivers have received our training and have made an average saving of 17% on fuel costs. This equates to a £400 fuel saving and a reduction of almost a tonne of carbon emissions per driver.
