We offer advanced/defensive van driver training nationwide for drivers of all levels of skill and experience.
We provide bespoke van driving courses for drivers of all levels of experience. This course is ideal for:
1. Drivers who have recently started a job driving a van and have little or no experience in driving such a vehicle.
2. Drivers who drive a van as part of their job, but have been having a few too many incidents.
3. Companies that wish to train a number of their van drivers to help lower fleet insurance, demonstrate their Duty of Care, and reduce incident rates.
The price for a full day is currently £400.00 + VAT. If split between two drivers, this works out at £200 a driver. A single one-off 3.5hr session on a day is £280 + vat

Two Common Vans We Provide Training In (Our training takes place in your own van):
- Mercedes Sprinter – This is one of the most common vans we provide driver training in. The Mercedes Sprinter comes in a range of sizes and dimensions. Our tutors have many years of experience in delivering van driver training in such vehicles.
- Ford Transit/Luton – Perhaps the most well-known of all vans. The Ford Transit has been synonyms with “The White Van Man”. Our tutors have helped many “White Man Van” drivers become safer, more courteous drivers. Learn more about our bespoke Transit Driver Training.
We can provide van driver training in all vans, car-derived vans and LGV vehicles. In our van driver training, we focus more on manoeuvres and mirror use, as these are essential when driving such a large vehicle with limited rear vision.
Learn more about what “bespoke” driver training means. Following the course, each driver will get a full driving report outlining what was covered and their overall risk.

Don’t have a van? We don’t supply vans for training. However, if you would like a session and need a van, we would recommend hiring a van local to you, and training can then be arranged to start from the van hire depot. A number of customers who needed van training but did not have access to a van opted for this.
