We offer bespoke advanced/defensive van driver training nationwide (which includes motorhomes and other large vehicles).

We are ideal for:

1. Drivers that have recently started a job driving a van, and have little or no experience in driving such a vehicle.
2. Drivers that 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.
.
We can provide van driver training in both small and large vans up to 3.5 tonnes (that can be used on a normal, “B” car driving licence) we can also provide training for larger Category C and C1 commercial vehicles.

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 dimension. Our tutors have many years of experience in delivering van driver training in such vehicles. Learn more about our bespoke Transit Driver Training.

 

  • 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.

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 yourself, 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.
