About the assessment

We designed the assessment to give you confidence and skills to drive a minibus. It also promotes a positive business driving culture within health and safety regulations.

Reducing occupational road risk is an important investment for businesses to commit to. It can have benefits such as:

• Staff morale
• Improved corporate image
• Cost savings
• Legally compliant

Whilst this is an assessment, the delivery is a coaching approach. It aims to increase your knowledge and offer on road practice time.

The outcomes of attending this training:

• Increase your highway code knowledge and skills in safe driving
• Complete vehicle safety checks. Understand how these link to your responsibilities of safer driving behaviours.
• Understand your responsibilities about carrying passengers and goods
• Demonstrate safe vehicle manoeuvres

The session concludes with a written report. We share this with you and your business to keep for their records.
