Who is the training for?
Our transport regulatory and fleet risk training packages have been designed for any business which holds a licence to operate either goods vehicles or passenger transport vehicles.
Your training need may arise from a simple desire to reduce risk and to stay up to date with the regulatory and compliance landscape, or it may be that you have recently experienced a near miss event or have been involved in a DVSA or police investigation or proceedings before the Office of the Traffic Commissioner.
In every case, the focus of our training is on reducing risk and exposure for your directors, operations team and the wider business, and protecting your most important asset: your operator’s licence.
What makes our training different?
Unlike many other forms of training, our transport and fleet risk training packages are not “off the shelf” but are instead bespoke to the needs of your business and delivered by our specialist transport regulatory lawyers. We work closely with you to tailor the training to your specific needs, including content, length and format.
Our offering includes:
- Short, no-nonsense, essential knowledge updates aimed at alerting your management team to upcoming transport regulatory risks and developments.
- Longer interactive training sessions with your wider operations teams, focussing on new and developing specific regulatory risk areas they are likely to face in their day-to-day role.
- Full or half day “mock” Traffic Commissioner Public Inquiries in which your management and operations teams will experience what it is like to be involved in proceedings before the Traffic Commissioner, and how to avoid this.
- Pre-recorded training videos and materials which can be rolled out internally.
As a top-40 law firm, we also have the strength in depth to ensure that our training incorporates ancillary practice areas relevant to your transport operations, including employment law matters, fatal accident response, health and safety, environmental and much more.
