The Driver CPC training module developed by Scania (Great Britain) has been accredited by the Institute of Advanced Motorists driver training company, Drive & Survive.
Officially entitled Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving (LGV and PCV) Scania Driver CPC Module B, this is currently the only commercial vehicle manufacturer Driver CPC course to have been awarded IAM status.
Key aspects of the course include safe driving, urban driving, driving style and techniques, use of the engine and gearbox and environmental considerations. All drivers attending the course receive 12-months' complimentary affiliate membership to the IAM.
"Our course is the outcome of many hours spent firstly considering the issues and then optimising the way in which the messages are presented and conveyed to drivers," says Scania's driver training manager Mark Agnew.
"From the outset, Scania's approach has been to go further than simply meet the demands of Driver CPC legislation," he adds.
"Our overarching aim is to provide training which truly benefits both the driver and his or her employer."
