About this course

This online driver awareness course aims to highlight the daily risks associated with driving. Upon successful completion of the course, learners will have a heightened awareness of what’s going on around them, where other drivers and road users are, what they are doing and what they might do next.

It also includes information on preparing for a journey and checking your vehicle, as well as outlining the steps you should take if you’re involved in an accident or you break down. It’s perfect for those driving as part of a commercial fleet or for those who regularly go offsite as part of their job.

If you drive 25,000 or more miles for work, it’s probably the most dangerous part of your job. In fact, there is a 1 in 8,000 chance of suffering a fatal accident whilst driving. It’s estimated that around a third of all road accidents each year involve somebody who was driving for work. This accounts for 20 deaths and 250 serious injuries every week.

Driving is something most of us do every day and it’s easy to become complacent, particularly if you are regularly travelling the same route. This driver awareness training course acts as a gentle reminder of general road safety and the things you can do to keep yourself and other road users safe.

Our course can be used for personal as well as work purposes. It acts as the perfect refresher for ANYONE that drives regularly, be it on business or not.
