Duration Overview – What’s Best For You?
Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Below is an overview of the different duration options:
3.5hrs – This is the shortest course option in our range. It can be ideal for companies training two or more drivers. So a full day is split into 2 x 3.5hr. It’s also useful for those who feel they only need a half-day session to address their needs.
2 x 3.5hrs – This option is beneficial for those who can’t commit to a full day and prefer to extend the training over two sessions for a better learning experience. Often, drivers are given tasks to do between sessions to practice what was covered, which helps the overall learning experience. This course is popular with private clients.
7hrs (Full Day) – A full-day course is more cost-effective than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and is ideal for those with little time. This is a great option if your company has requested the training or if you simply feel a full day works better for you. We also offer the option to split a full day into AM and PM sessions for business clients.
Longer Courses (– For individuals with specific driving challenges or those who haven’t driven in a while, we offer longer courses that can be spread over several weeks. These options are ideal for those needing more in-depth training to address deep-rooted issues, especially those who suffer some form of trauma after a road collision. These courses are in 3,4, and 5 x 3.5hr sessions.
