Driver Awareness Training

This in-vehicle Driver Awareness Training course is carried out via our national network of qualified expert drivers. Cardinus Fleet fosters an interactive learning environment. Courses may take place in any location in the UK, in the vehicle the individual would use on company business. The session is not a test, so the trainer will concentrate on helping individuals to develop the visual and mental strategies required to improve risk perception and decision making processes. Cardinus Fleet’s training methods are ‘real world’ and hazard-perception based.

In-vehicle driver training is universally recognised as the single most effective way to reduce driver related incidents.
