Logistics UK Driver Assessor Certificate

This course focuses on the practical aspects of driver assessment and corrective training. It is an extremely cost-effective way of providing training throughout a company. Subsequent ‘in-house’ training will ensure that drivers are taught about safe and responsible conduct, giving consideration to fuel economy and other road users.

The course will train candidates to carry out driving assessments and provide corrective training for HGV and PSV drivers. Candidates who successfully complete the course will be certified by Logistics UK for 4 years, given a personalised ID card and Logistics UK pin badge.

Please note: companies wishing to train their assessors to conduct driving assessments in company cars and vans (<3,500kg GVW) will need to train their assessment staff to be an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor). Please contact your local ADI training provider for further information.
