Fleet Driver Training
Advanced & Defensive driving courses for businesses
What we do for you
Any driver, whether Fleet or Grey Fleet must undergo a fleet driving risk assessment to comply with ISO45001/HSG65. Company car driver risk assessment is integral to your business health and safety policy.
Here at Navigator Driver Training, we understand this can be complicated to navigate with In-House Training; so let us take the burden away from you.
​
Unlike other Fleet Driver Training companies, we offer a single one-hour assessment session, if required, to assess your company car driver while out on the road; if further training is required we can arrange for a date and time of your convenience.
​
In-car driving sessions starting from two hours, offer your drivers a full risk assessment and training to improve driving skills where required.
​
All our training is bespoke to your company's needs. Your driver will receive a full written report showing the time and date of the training session, along with any improvements made and areas of concern. To show Health and Safety compliance, any report will be signed off by a fully qualified DVSA Fleet driver trainer.
We also offer in-house classes, these classes can accommodate between 5 and 10 company car drivers at any given time and last around 4-5 hours. These sessions can be carried out at your business or our offices in Cardiff Bay.
Bespoke Advanced & Defensive Driving Courses
All training given is based on Roadcraft-The Police Drivers Handbook.
We offer bespoke driving courses for companies that want to lower the risk of their drivers while on the road. Whether your drivers are experienced or new to a specific role, our courses accommodate drivers of all experience.

Advanced driver training
“Advanced driving is the ability to control the position and speed of the vehicle safely, systematically and smoothly, using road and traffic conditions to progress unobtrusively with skill and responsibility. This skill requires a positive but courteous attitude and a high standard of driving competence based on concentration, effective all round observation, anticipation and planning. This must be coordinated with good handling skills. The vehicle will always be at the right speed with the correct gear engaged and can always be stopped safely on its own side of the road in the distance that can be seen to be clear”

How we deliver the training...
After making the initial enquiry for your driver training on our contact page, we will contact you to discuss the driver's needs. During this discussion, we ascertain what your requirements are and the urgency of the training. After we have a full picture of your requirements, and you agree to the training, we will send you a confirmation email with any payment terms and links.
On the day of training...
Your driver trainer will arrive at the agreed time at the address you have specified to commence the driver training. Your trainer will conduct a vehicle check on your vehicle (unless the training vehicle is provided), a driving licence check and an eyesight check. After your trainer is satisfied that the training session can go ahead, your training begins.
​
Your trainer will confirm the details on the booking confirmation and agree with any changes you may have to enhance the session as two-way communication is the key.
Fleet Driver training completion...
After your training session is complete, your trainer will discuss what they have identified in your driving ability and what they need to do to make you a safer driver, this is done via a driver checklist report. The report will show your ability after the training session and not before. This report will be sent to the business or individual who booked the initial assessment, along with a compliance certificate showing your assessment result.
