Advanced training for drivers transporting other people

Master the differences between driving a car and a large van or minibus. It's a wider, longer and taller vehicle than car drivers would be used to, and this course helps drivers understand the potential risk areas. Plus, it provides strategies for dealing with passengers and planning journeys.

It's ideal for:

Teachers transporting students to educational or sporting events
Community transport drivers taking passengers to appointments or other trips
Shuttle drivers collecting people from airports or hotels
Tour guides
Care facility transport drivers taking elderly patients from rest homes to appointments or on social outings
Sports team coaches and leaders taking the team to events
Volunteer drivers working for charities
Labour hire crew driver transporting workers to a work site
Agricultural transport driver taking seasonal workers to orchards
Events crew (e.g. runner/transport coordinator) taking production crew to locations
Church leaders carrying their congregation to events.
Supervisors and managers of people who drive minibuses for work

What are the benefits for your business?

Reduced costs through better use of the minibus, and a lower potential for having a crash
Better outcomes for passengers in terms of their comfort, and scheduling
Understanding the road rules particular to minibuses in order to avoid fines
Potential reduction in insurance premiums and ACC levies

What do you get with the course?

Full access to all training materials for 6 months
Study in your own time at your own pace, take the modules as many times as you need to and really get to know the information. You can access it on any computer, smartphone or tablet wherever there's an internet connection available.
Each module has questions after it to cement a driver's understanding of the concepts demonstrated.
Management
If you're managing other drivers, you can add more managers at no extra cost. They can download detailed reports, plus track and manage drivers. Managers can generate certificates on completion of the course.
The driver can take a couple of months to finish the modules and can come back to it as a refresher anytime until the course access expires - this is great if you need to do any remedial work with them.
Set up is free, whether you are purchasing one course licence or a hundred course licences.
