UK Familiarisation Training

The main collisions caused by foreign drivers include loss of vehicle control, negotiating bends and collisions with pedestrians or animals (Sharples & Fletcher 2001).

By providing familiarisation training for non-UK national contractors and employees, organisations can reduce running costs and provide a vital duty of care for staff.

Location & Cost

All training is on-road and can be commenced from any location. The cost of driver training is the normal daily rate. For more information email info@fawcett-driver-training.co.uk and we will endeavour to respond to your query the same working day.

Course Duration & Structure

The UK familiarisation training involves a short assessment followed by on-road training. The training would usually take 1-2 full days to complete but does depend on individual ability.

The training can be delivered on a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio (trainer/candidate). Regrettably, training can only be provided to english speaking candidates.

Target Groups

Any organisation with a work force that includes non-UK nationals who may be required to drive in UK, whether that is as part of their job role or just to commute. Ideal for those needing to promote a safety-conscious image to the general public or organisations concerned with the possibility of losing key staff to injury absence.

Syllabus

The training covers the relevant sections of the Highway Code which may not necessarily be applicable in some foreign countries:

• Use of car controls

• Priority at junctions

• Lane discipline and road position

• Road markings and traffic signs

• Pedestrian crossings

• Approaching and negotiating roundabouts

• Awareness and use of mirrors

• Anticipation, planning and hazard awareness

• Dual carriageways and motorways
