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 and most affordable option in our range. While ideal for companies training two or more drivers, it may be too brief for some individuals.
- 2 x 3.5hrs – This option is beneficial for those who can’t commit to a full day of driving and prefer to split the training into two sessions for better retention. Often, drivers are given “homework” between sessions to practice what was covered, which helps reinforce learning. This course is popular with older drivers.
- 7hrs (Full Day) – A full-day course is more cost-effective than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and is ideal for those with limited time. This is a good option if your company has requested the training or if you feel a full day will work better for you. We also offer the option to split a full day into AM and PM sessions for business clients.
- Extended Courses (3, 4, or 5 x 3.5 hrs) – 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.
