UK familiarisation This course is ideal for those who have just moved to the UK. If your new staff member is new to the UK, the rules and road procedures may be different to that of their home country, for example they may not be accustomed to roundabouts or driving on the left. Therefore the UK familiarisation course trains your overseas staff to deal with these different road systems and shows them how to drive safely on the UK roads. A lot of emphasis will be placed on roundabouts, junctions, traffic light sequences and motorway driving as these are the main areas that can differ from country to country, but other aspects can be included depending on the delegate´s own situation.
Some of the main benefits to you from this course and indeed all our courses will be:
- Lower insurance costs
- A reduced risk of a staff member being involved in a road traffic collision
- Better fuel consumption
- Reduced wear and tear on your vehicles
- Updated knowledge about new traffic laws for your driving staff
- Improved staff morale
- Better corporate image
- Improved business
All courses will be:
- Fully structured and tailored to suit your needs
- Conducted at the delegate´s speed
- Done in the location of the delegate and in the delegate´s own car (if desired)*
At the end of the course you and your delegate will receive a written driving report which will highlight areas to consider for continued improvements.
* Training vehicle:
The training can be carried out in the delegate´s vehicle as this is what they will be more familiar with. The vehicle must be suitable, roadworthy, taxed, have an MOT if applicable and be fully insured. If your delegate does not have a vehicle then the course can be conducted in the trainer´s own vehicle.
Eye sight, licence checks and other information:
All drivers must hold a valid current licence for the vehicle they will be driving and must be able to read a vehicle registration plate from a distance of 67 feet (20.5m) If glasses are required then they must be worn throughout the training. If drivers are on medication then this will be noted and the driver should check with their pharmacist as to whether it is safe to drive whilst taking the medication.
